Viktor
I captured her. On the Pakhan's orders.
The dancer clad in bright silk.
With no place in this dark world of ours.
Defenceless. Innocent. Good.
The Pakhan thought I'd leave her untouched.
That would be unbearable agony.
I break his trust, knowing it means war.
A fiery meteor has nothing on the ruin I'll unleash to keep her.

I'm precious cargo. Promised to another.
Locked in a penthouse with this lethal hitman.
A Bratva weapon of muscle and scars.
I think he's carved from marble. Until he touches me.
Risking war. Risking everything.
Under his dominant hands, I don't break. I become stronger.
And when he finds I'm carrying his heir, there's no turning back.
He'll burn down the world to keep me safe.
If we both die tomorrow, at least I'll be his.
*Ruinous Need is a full-length standalone mafia romance novel set in the Bratva (Russian mafia) with violence, plenty of open-door spice and a morally grey male lead. Please read the list of content warnings.
