This Crimson Vow

A vow forged in blood and darkness… and a chemistry as dangerous as the Bratva enforcer who just swore to protect me.

I’m starting to think I should get a tattoo that says:

“one terrible choice from disaster—always.”

I’ve had plenty of bad nights, but on the absolute worst, he walks out of the darkness—an unlikely savior.

The enigmatic, dangerously irresistible Bratva enforcer I met once and never stopped thinking about.

He has zero reason to help me.

Every reason to hate me.

And his protection could cost us both our lives.

Now I owe him everything.

When the choice he made that night forces him to step back from the Bratva, I offer him the only thing I can:

A job as a bodyguard at my brother's Elite Security firm.

Simple, right?

Wrong.

Now we’re stuck sharing hotel rooms while babysitting a troublemaking supermodel, and I’m doing everything I can to pretend I don’t want him.

We come from different worlds—when the job ends, he’ll go back to his, and I’ll be left picking up the pieces.

But my heart and body don’t seem to care, and he isn’t making it easy to resist.

Our timing couldn’t be worse. Something deadly is stalking closer, waiting for a chance to strike.

How can we protect ourselves when we don’t even know which one of us is the target?

And when the truth finally comes to light—if we survive it—nothing will ever be the same.
