Release Date: August 9, 2022

She thought it was only for one night…

I’ve never let anyone into my life.

At least not like her. Not until her.

She sees a side of me that isn’t the bratva monster everyone else believes.

Now that she knows, she’s mine.

Mine to keep and protect. Mine to please. In return, it’s her love I crave. She’s my soulmate.

Every kiss, every touch will take her to her limits, and I’ll be the one to catch her.

Bratva Sweetheart is an interconnecting, standalone Dark Mafia Romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains extra-steamy scenes that will make your toes curl and your granny blush. This is book two in The Ivankov Brotherhood, a six-book series that’ll keep you warm at night.

I can’t help but love people watching in a strip club. It’s New York City, so there’s usually something shady going on somewhere. Sometimes it’s more than just a lap dance. 

Sometimes it’s a guy getting thrown out for trying to make it more than just a lap dance. And sometimes you see the most unlikely people conducting business. I’m certain that’s one of the club owners. Pussycats. How utterly unoriginal. But damn, he can call this place whatever he wants. He’s hot. -

Bourbon on the rocks with a splash of water. If you drank vodka, you wouldn’t need to dilute the taste. That voice. It’s sin waiting to happen. 

I look to my left, and the man who’d been in the corner talking to a rather large Italian-looking guy is now beside me. He was hot from a distance. He’s Lucifer in a suit up close. Are my panties on the floor? Those blue eyes might have just made them drop. They’re certainly wetter than they were a few minutes ago... 

You didn’t look like you were having a good time earlier. Boyfriend not paying enough attention? Or perhaps too much attention? He’s not my boyfriend. Your date then. 

Not a date. Those both imply romance. That’s not our arrangement. Partners in crime. Partners in fun. Definitely not partners in life. I cock an eyebrow, waiting to see how he responds to me basically admitting that Todd is a f*ck buddy... 

We tried going on a couple dates. We enjoyed each other’s company, and we really enjoy having sex together, but no sparks ever flew for either of us. 

So you came for an appetizer, and I suppose you’re supposed to be the main course later. I look back over my shoulder and can’t find Todd. 

He’s not at the table I just left. I wonder if he went to the bathroom. He better not be taking care of anything, otherwise, I’ll have to do all the work to get him revved up again. Sometimes we enjoy the foreplay, but that wasn’t the deal tonight. 

Something like that. But only one of you gets to sample. That hardly seems fair. It’s fine for tonight. Todd and I have been to clubs that allow us to do more than just watch. 

He might get a lap dance, and I might get his fingers. I might sit on his lap while he f*cks me, and I get a lap dance. We’re kinky like that, but we’ve never had a full-on threesome. Women just don’t interest me enough for that. Now two guys? One can only wish.

Mr. No Name shakes his head when the bartender approaches, and I reach for my purse. Before I can insist that I pay, he’s picking up both of our drinks and turning away from the guy. 

I don’t know what to say beyond a mumbled thanks. I follow this guy, which I know is ridiculous, but I’m too damn curious for my own good... 

If he’s not your boyfriend, or even your date, would he care if I kissed you?... 

Perhaps you should care if I want you to kiss me. I definitely do. But I don’t need to knock your—friend—out if he gets pissed. That would cause a scene. 

Why am I so f*cking tempted? When I’m not mesmerized by his eyes, I keep looking at his lips. I’m certain he’s noticed. That’s why he knows I won’t say no.
