The streets of Toronto are controlled by a crime family like no other … Decadently wealthy, loyal only to their blood and name, and unchallenged in the business of la famiglia, meet the Guzzis. Five brothers, each a bit more dangerous and tempting than the last, take what they want without question. Every single time. They live by the oath. Love first. Duty second.

The darkest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Faced with the impossible, Roman Avdonin is forced to do anything—and everything—he can to keep Karine safe from the man who wants her back. Even marrying her. The thing about marriage? It doesn’t stop you from hurting the one you love the most. In midst of a mafia war … love is just one small part. And it certainly won’t save them here. * The Marriage is book 3 in The Darkest Lies trilogy. The trilogy is standalone; the books should be read in order.

Two years have passed since the fire that changed Delaney Reed’s life overnight, but she still hasn’t been able to move on. Not even time, distance, and a whole new city has helped ease the fear she feels about returning to the place that hurt her the most. Well, until a tall and handsome stranger sits in her salon chair … Lucas Dalton walks a careful line between the beer brewery heir the public sees, and the man he doesn’t want to be. The private struggles of his family haven’t hit the papers yet, or come to a head, but it’s just a matter of time before it all falls apart. When tragedy sends Lucas looking for the one person safe enough to get him through it, Delaney can’t say no—even if it bends some of her rules—and neither of them expected to find home in each other in the process. That’s the thing about love. It has a way of calling us back where we belong. * Loved Either Way is book 2 in the These Valley Days series. It features a different couple from book 1, although old faves will pop in to say hello, and has a HEA. If topics like parentification, substance abuse/addiction, religious deconstruction, and/or pregnancy loss are hard triggers for you, tread carefully.

Roman Avdonin has always lived life on the edge of reason—hiding an unstable woman while officials knock down his family's door and a mafia war brews really doesn't seem that crazy, all things considered. But everything about Karine Yazov is a beautiful, dangerous lie. And they've not even learned the worst of it. All she knows is how to survive, and put into the hands of a man who seems like her wildest dreams, why would she fight? His stare lights her on fire, he gives her the safety she craves, and Karine can't stop herself from falling … Even if she knows the monster chasing her will never let her go. Promises like his shouldn't be broken, but secrets like hers could get them all killed. * The Promise is book 2 in The Darkest Lies Trilogy. The Trilogy is standalone; the books should be read in order. The trilogy contains content some might find triggering.

The universe isn’t done with Vaslav Pashkov just yet … Perhaps marrying a man whose secrets weren’t entirely revealed wasn’t the smartest choice of Vera Avdonin’s life, but her new husband makes the decision hard to regret. Even when it brings agony. Yet, not even wedded bliss and love is enough to keep Vera from peeling back the remaining layers of Vaslav’s past and truth—and there are always consequences for what she might find. The price of loving a man like this one is high. * The Breath Before Forever is the final Vaslav/Vera book in The Beast of Moscow saga and should not be read as a standalone. Read after books 1, 2, and 3. TW: Pregnancy Loss.

Criminal. Spoiled. Entirely out of control. Roman Avdonin has heard it all. None of it stops him from crossing the line one more time. Sent to Chicago to answer for his wrongs, he's an outsider beneath the cruel gazes of men who are nothing like his own. He should have minded his business and paid his dues—a better man would. But then he laid eyes on her. Karine Yazov. She's forbidden—already promised. Fragile in every way. And he just can't help himself. Agreements like these? They can't be undone. * The Agreement is book 1 in The Darkest Lies Trilogy. It is a standalone trilogy; the books should be read in order. Note: The Trilogy contains subjects that could be triggering.

The Beast is back in Dubna. Let the obsession begin. Finished with the Italian and home in his motherland, Vaslav Pashkov should be happy to isolate away in his safe and private hills. But the unfortunate detail of unfinished business with his dead friend drags him back to the city and puts Vera Avdonin straight into his waiting hands yet again. Every meddling step he takes into her life only drags her closer to him whether she likes it or not. Somebody’s bound to notice. How much will they pay? Welcome to Russia—while here, you will play by his rules. * The Lies Between Lovers is Part Two of Vera and Vaslav’s story in The Beast of Moscow Saga. It should only be read after Part One.

Tucked away deep in the hills of Dubna lives a man hiding from a past that’s as grisly as the scar on his face. Reclusive. Paranoid. Violent. His trek to the top has been a bloody game—with a deadly end for anyone who loses. And it’s not over yet. Vera Avdonin stumbled into the life of Vaslav Pashkov entirely by accident, and it should have stopped there, too. Just a broken ballerina who helped a beautifully tortured stranger. But she’ll soon learn that like the mafiya he controls, once he brings you in, there is no way out. They don’t call him The Beast of Moscow for nothing. * The Beast of Moscow is a slow burn, contemporary romance saga told over the course of several parts and encompassing more than one generation from start to finish. Only part of this is a love story; everything else hurts. TBOM—taking readers from Moscow to Paris while peeling back the beginning layers of Vaslav Pashkov—is part one.
