Who knew my accidental nudes would lead to this? A six-year-old daughter who has his eyes, and a dead man walking through my front door. Seven years. Seven years since those two pink lines changed everything. Seven years since Maron Korolev vanished without a trace. The palace that was my gilded prison? Empty. The man who made me scream his name? Gone. Or so I thought. Because lately, I've been seeing ghosts. A black car following me home. A shadow that looks too familiar. A silhouette that can't be real. And now, here he is-standing in my doorway like death itself. Same dangerous eyes. Same ruthless energy. Same power to bring my world crashing down. But I'm no nude-sending naive girl anymore. I'm a mother now. And my daughter is all I have left to lose. I will do anything to protect her... Even if my naughty pictures become my obituary photos. Welcome to Korolev Bratva! Ruthless Serenade is a Russian dark mafia romance, and it is the second book in the Korolev Bratva duo. Best enjoyed in order.
