Book 2 - Shadows of the Devil
(Sequel 2 Devil's Little Bride)
Blurb / Official Description
Two months after the wedding that shook Moscow, Tara and Tyler Morozov are finally building the life they fought so hard for.
A quiet morning.
A positive pregnancy test.
A future filled with tiny heartbeats and whispered promises.
But the past never stays buried in the Morozov family.
When Tyler wakes screaming from nightmares he refuses to explain-raw, guttural cries of "I hate you, Mother"-the carefully constructed peace begins to fracture.
He won't talk.
He won't sleep.
And every time he looks at Tara's growing belly, something dark flickers behind his eyes.
Then the letters start arriving.
No return address.
No fingerprints.
Just old photographs of a woman who looks eerily like Tyler-smiling, young, alive-and a single handwritten line in elegant, feminine script:
"You can't outrun blood, my son."
Tara wants answers.
Tyler wants silence.
But when a single gunshot echoes through the estate and blood stains the snow outside their bedroom window, silence is no longer an option.
The Morozov brothers close ranks.
Old enemies resurface.
Secrets Tyler buried years ago claw their way to the surface-secrets about a mother who was supposed to be dead, a family legacy soaked in betrayal, and a truth that could destroy everything he's built.
Because in the Morozov world, love doesn't conquer all.
It makes you vulnerable.
And someone is counting on that.
Now Tara must decide:
Protect the family she's fought to belong to...
Or protect the child growing inside her from the very man she loves.
Shadows of the Devil
Love was the beginning.
Blood will be the end.
Coming soon.

The devil never forgets his children.
And neither does the devil's mother.
