Some wounds don't heal.
Some people you cannot have.
Sometimes, they are the same thing.

Secrets are the worst form of torture.
More painful than Alexei's blade on my skin. Harder to hide than the scars he made.
When I was kidnapped as a teenager, Alexei was my protector. My rescuer.
He was also forced to be my kidnapper.
My torturer.
But that secret is one he and I share, and our families can never know.
A secret that stands between us and any kind of future together.
Along with the fact that Alexei Petrovsky has barely looked at me since the day I was freed.
ALEXEI
There's no logic in missing someone who was never mine. Even less in wanting someone I can never have.
Wanting more is a dangerous path.
I do a lot of killing to stop the wanting.
Ambition is different to wanting more.
Ambition is how I retook my family's empire, and became the apex predator in Miami's criminal swamp.
But nobody wants a predator sitting at their family table.
Which is why Ofelia Borovsky is where ambition ends and insanity begins.
Predators don't protect their prey. They consume it.
And I've wanted to consume Ofelia Borovsky since the moment I first saw her.
Lethal Obsession is the final book in the Lethal Legacy series. A high stakes love story set amid the power dynamics, family saga, danger and international luxury of the Russian bratva, it has enough heat to sear your eyeballs, and enough dark emotion to have you howling into your handkerchief. It will take you on a high octane ride of tears, laughter . . .and battery powered devices.
