A Prey For My Enemy
Kain Morozov is the most dangerous cleaner in the European underworld and entirely without mercy. When the man that raised him murdered his pregnant girlfriend and tries to force him into their service, he responds the only way he knows how: he attends their dinner party and kills everyone at the table.
Everyone except the girl sitting across from him.
Tatiana Morozov is twenty-two, sheltered to the point of suffocation, sharp-tongued and completely unprepared for the world her parents kept her sealed away from. She is also the only person Kain has ever been unable to kill, because she looked up at him across a dinner table with blood on her face and his dead mother's eyes shone through.
He takes her to protect her. She sees it as kidnapping.
What follows is a slow, furious, devastating collision between a broken soul who doesn't know he's capable of gentleness and a naive girl who doesn't know the world she grew up in was built on bodies. Between them stands Julian Ashford, handsome, warm, attentive, everything Kain is not.

Chapter: Ghost on The Docks## Chapter 60: GhostsThe binoculars stayed perfectly frozen in my hands.The frozen rain hit the windshield of the SUV, a mindless, scratching rhythm that suddenly sounded like it was miles away. The docks, the rusted crane, Dmitri’s heavy breathing in the seat beside me—all of it faded into a dull, gray static."Boss?" Dmitri's hand moved toward the door handle, his body shifting as he peered through his own scope. "Who is that? Do we move in?"I didn't answer. I couldn't. The cold air in my lungs felt like broken glass.Through the magnified lenses, the older woman stood under the amber dash light of the utility vehicle. Her grey eyes were flat, tracking Julian’s frantic movements with the chilling precision of a machine. She looked exactly the same. The same sharp tilt of the chin. The same unyielding, aristocratic posture.For the first time in fifteen years, I wasn't looking at the docks.The rain on the glass turned into the sound of footsteps on stone. The smell of cold river

Chapter: Stay or Leave TATIANAThe heavy click of the turning door handle shattered the silence.Instinct took over before my brain, I shut down the computer screen and slid out of the leather chair, my bare feet silent on the rug, and dove behind the heavy velvet drapes masking the floor-to-ceiling windows just as the door swung inward.The pale morning light from the hallway cut across the mahogany desk, illuminating the stacks of folders."Boss?"Dmitri’s deep, gravelly voice rasped through the room. I held my breath, my back pressed flat against the cold glass of the window, my heart hammering so hard against my ribs I was certain he could hear it. Through the tiny fraction of a gap in the velvet, I watched his massive silhouette step into the office.His eyes scanned the room, instantly locking onto the glowing monitor and the open filebox on the desk. A dark scowl twisted his features. He stepped closer, his hand dropping instinctively toward the holster at his hip.

Chapter: The Solakov HeirTATIANA My breath caught in my throat, a sharp prickle of sweat breaking out along my hairline despite the chill of the early morning. I stood perfectly still on the threshold, ears straining against the heavy silence of the corridor. The air in the office smelled of cigarettes. I came looking for a weapon. I wanted the cold, hard receipts of his cruelty, the proof that would erase the sickening warmth of his skin from my fingertips and give me back my hatred. The desk was immaculate. A single leather-bound blotting pad sat in the center, flanked by a brass banker's lamp and a low stack of manila folders. I bypassed the digital terminal first, my hands drawn to the drawers. The bottom right drawer glided open with a metallic click. Inside sat a heavy, fireproof lockbox. The key was sitting directly in the lock. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic, ugly rhythm. I turned the

Chapter: The Silence Between UsTATIANA Kain’s thumb kept caressing my skin, but his fingers weren’t digging in with the bruising force from before. He was awake, his breath hit the back of my neck in a slow, deliberate cadence.Neither of us spoke.I kept my eyes fixed on the ceiling, as a wave of disloyalty to the people whose blood was supposed to be the only thing that mattered consumed me. I spent weeks feeding on my hatred for this man, nursing it like a spark in the dark, and tonight I had let him use my body to extinguish his own ghosts.I forced my gaze to the torn mattress inches from my face, where the dagger Julian had given me remained buried to the hilt.A much needed reminder that this wasn't a truce. I remained a captive in this house, and the man holding me against him was still the architect of my nightmare."I almost lost control tonight," Kain said.His voice broke the quiet without warning, stripped of the pristine, robotic tone he used with his men. "Yeah?" I didn't turn around. "Hmmm" he

Chapter: The Silence Between Us TATIANA Kain was awake. I could tell by the rigid line of his chest against my shoulder blade, and the way his breath hit the back of my neck in a slow, deliberate cadence.I was awake, too.Neither of us spoke. The silence in the room was so thick it felt physical, a wall built of everything we were desperately trying to ignore. I kept my eyes fixed on the ceiling, tracing the faint, amber patterns of the lamplight.The guilt came first, settling straight into my stomach. I felt a visceral wave of disloyalty to my the people whose blood was supposed to be the only thing that mattered. I had spent weeks feeding on my hatred for this man, nursing it like a spark in the dark, and tonight I had let him use my body to extinguish his own ghosts. I loathed the fact that my body had betrayed my mind so easily, turning the whiplash of an assassination attempt into an escape hatch.I wanted answers.Instead, I ended up in his bed.I didn't know whether to

Chapter: Six Years GoneNeither of them said a word since leaving the curb. Enoch kept both hands on the wheel, his knuckles white against the leather. The radio was off. The only sound was the hum of the engine and the tires against the road. Anna kicked off her heels and let them drop onto the floorboards. The champagne was still warm in her veins. She was tired of him pretending, tired of him staring straight ahead as if she weren't there. "You don't get to be angry," she said. Enoch's grip tightened. "I beg your pardon?" "You heard me. You're furious. Don't act like you aren't." He let out a short, dry laugh. "Anna, you're drunk." "And you're making me feel stupid." He turned his head. A quick, sharp glance. "You kissed him," Enoch said. "Right there in front of everyone. In front of me. What did you think was going to happen?" Anna looked out her window at the streetlights blurring past. "I panicked. It was stupid." "No." His voice dropped. "You don't get it." She turned in her seat to face h

Chapter: Perfect InterferenceENOCHHe slammed the door of the penthouse behind him, the sound echoing through the empty space like a gunshot.Daniel. That smug bastard actually thought he stood a chance with Anna. The memory of her kissing him played on repeat in Enoch's mind, especially the satisfied look on Daniel's face.Did she want him?The question gnawed at Enoch as he paced the living room. He had barely held it together on that stage. He spoke completely on autopilot, his mind entirely consumed by the memory of her in that red dress, and then of her lips on Daniel's.He poured himself a drink but didn't touch it.She was supposed to come home. They needed to talk. Really talk. No more running. Enoch had been patient. He had given her space. But tonight she had pushed every limit he had.Thirty minutes passed. Then an hour.He called Marcus."Where are you?" Enoch asked, voice tight.A pause. "Sir… they wanted to go to Lumina. Miss Maya insisted."Enoch's grip tightened on the phone. "And you let them?""

Chapter: Midnight RecklessnessANNATwo hours and several glasses of champagne later, the gala had become a distant, glittery blur.It was entirely Maya's fault.After Enoch left, they were coming up with a plan, and next thing Anna knew, Maya was accepting an invitation from some tech heiress she'd befriended near the silent auction to continue the night at an exclusive club downtown. "At this point, the only responsible thing to do is tequila," Maya had declared, already pulling Anna toward the exit.The driver Enoch had arranged for them was a quiet, serious guy named Gregory. He had tried to protest when they piled into the car. "Mr. Wade specifically asked that I take you straight home, Miss Anna."Maya had waved him off with a dramatic flourish. "We're not imposing on Enoch tonight. Take us to Lumina. We'll be good, promise."Gregory looked like a man who valued his life. He eventually relented, muttering something about damage control, and drove them to the club.The bass hit Anna the second she stepped ins

Chapter: AftermathANNAMaya was near the dessert table, laughing with some women, when she spotted Anna. Her smile dropped instantly. She excused herself mid-sentence and cut straight toward Anna, grabbing her elbow and steering her behind a tall floral arrangement."Please tell me you didn't just start a war." Maya hissed, eyes wide."You saw that?""The entire room saw you kiss that man on the dance floor. Who is he? Tell me you were possessed.""I panicked, okay?"Maya laughed sharply. "Anna, I've seen murder trials with less tension. Enoch looked like John Wick when someone shot his dog."Anna's chest squeezed. "Can you not compare my love life to organized crime for five seconds?"Maya stared at her and folded her arms."He kept asking questions and Enoch kept looking at me… God, I don't even know why I did it." Anna exhaled shakily. "Trust me, I didn't mean for it to happen like that."Before she could say more, the tension in the room shifted. Enoch was walking toward Daniel, who had followed An

Chapter: Photogenic KissANNAShe had barely taken three steps toward the canapé table when Daniel appeared at her elbow, sharp smile already in place. He had clearly been waiting for the exact moment Enoch's hand left her back."You are simply the most gorgeous woman I have ever set my eyes on tonight."The laugh burst out of Anna, and she couldn't stop it. Not that she tried. Her ribs were squeezing tight as a result."You always know exactly what to say, don't you? It's almost suspicious.""Only around you. Everyone else gets the corporate version." He chuckled."Flattery at a charity gala. Are you having fun, Daniel?"His grin widened as he offered his arm. She took it. Refusing would only feed the gossip mill, and the entire room was still watching them. His sleeve felt warm under her fingers. Safe. Predictable. Everything she had written on that stupid list.They drifted along the edge of the dance floor. He talked about the Mercer account and cracked a rehearsed joke about the string quartet while his t

Chapter: The Charity GalaANNAShe paused just inside the ballroom doors, Maya's arm threaded through hers like she was afraid Anna might bolt. The hall dripped with expensive perfume and fake laughter rising above the low murmur of people who had money and still needed everyone to know it.Then her heels hit the marble.The whole room turned, and conversations dipped as judgmental eyes slid over her. She knew it was not only because of who she was but also what she was wearing. The dress Maya had all but forced her to wear did all the talking, and it wasn't saying anything polite.Maya's breath brushed her ear. "Relax. If they're staring, you've already won."Anna didn't answer. Her stomach was already knotted tight enough to snap.Enoch was at the far end by the bar in a black suit like always, but tonight his collar was open. He was talking to two board members, but the second Anna stepped fully into view, his focus shifted. He hadn't seen her. Or he had. She couldn't tell anymore. Her eyes dragged over the

Behind Enemy Lines: From Slave To Luna
Catherine Hale was wolfless and broken.
After her pack was slaughtered, she became a glorified slave to the cruel Crescent Pack. When the Alpha’s son, Ben, publicly humiliated on the mating ceremony night, shattered and numb, Catherine made a deal with the devil. She volunteered to become a spy in the rival Red River Pack.
But before then, on that same night and in a moment of vengeful rage, she threw herself at a dangerous stranger in the shadows.
She didn’t know he was Alpha Adrian, the same merciless alpha she was sent to destroy.
One night of angry, explosive passion changed everything.
Now trapped in enemy territory as the official treaty envoy, Catherine is playing the deadliest game of her life. Every touch from Adrian sets her on fire. Every secret she steals makes her question everything. And the more she tries to betray him, the deeper she falls into his bed… and his claim.
In a world of blood, betrayal, and war, one thing is certain:
Catherine will either return home with the power to destroy the Crescent Pack…
or she’ll burn it all down at the side of the ruthless alpha who refuses to let her go.

Chapter: EN ROUTE RED RIVER PACKBrian was waiting with a fresh horse and a smirk that said he expected to receive my corpse back within the week.I mounted it without looking at him. Did not take the hand he did not offer. Got one foot in the stirrup and swung up clean, settled my weight, checked the reins. The horse was good. Better than Brian deserved to own.The stranger's cloak was folded under the saddlebag. I had not been able to leave it. I had held it in my hands for a long moment before dawn, because it was warm.The gates creaked open slowly.Snow clung to the ground in dirty patches taking me back to the night my whole pack was massacred. Same thing I am sure Brian has planned for Red River’s pack. The road ahead was pale and empty. I nudged the horse forward and did not look back and felt my heart settle into something steady for the first time since I had watched my father's head roll across white ground.Half a mile down the road I felt it.The same weight I had felt at the bonfire. A pressure between

Chapter: GOOD BYE LENAHe tossed the documents onto the mattress.I looked at them without touching them. An identity that was not mine, printed in clean ink on credentials that would get me through a border I had no business crossing. The leather pouch landed beside them a second later. I pulled it open and found a silver dagger, blade no longer than my palm, handle wrapped in dark cord."The blade is for emergencies you might come across on the road." He said it as an afterthought. "Don't get ideas about running. Scouts will be on your trail until you cross into Red River's territory. After that you're on your own."I turned the dagger over in my hand once, testing the weight, then slid it into the hidden pocket I had sewn into the stranger's coat three hours ago while the camp slept. The pocket sat flush against my ribs. You would not find it unless you knew where to look, and Brian had never looked at me carefully enough for that to be a concern."Anything else I should know about the monster?" Brian's

Chapter: A SPY IN A CAGE"I'll do it. I'll be your spy. Please. Don't let them touch me."The words came out smaller barely above whisper as the guard stepped closer. Brian raised his hand and the guards left without being told twice, their footsteps crossing the floor, the door clicking shut behind them. The room didn't get quieter exactly, just more concentrated. Just the two of us and whatever he was about to say next.He crouched down to my level. I watched his face arrange itself into satisfaction. He thought he had broken me tonight. He had only seen what I built for him to see."Red River's monster expects an envoy the day after tomorrow. Noon. Treaty talk." He tilted his head. His hand moved into my hair, brushing through slowly, and that was worse than being hit. I didn't know how to hold my face against a touch that looked gentle. "I need eyes inside his walls. You walk in as my ambassador. Smile pretty. Listen to everything Adrian says. Send me weaknesses, guard rotations, who he trusts, who he's

Chapter: A CALCULATED SCREAMI stepped out of the trees wrapped in a stranger's cloak. The fabric was too large for me, pooling at my ankles, carrying a scent that wasn't mine. I kept my chin level and my eyes forward. My thighs ached with every step but I did not slow down. The ache was mine to carry. I had chosen it. The storage-room door stayed open. I noticed that first. The darkness beyond it was too still and my feet slowed, sensing the danger ahead. I took three steps inside, felt the cold of the room replace the night air, and then his voice slid out of the dark. "Smell that, boys? Our little wolfless whore finally got herself fucked." Brian sat on the same chair he always claimed whenever he came to play, his throne of rot and dominance, and a thin smile played on his lips. Two guards flanked him on each side, each pair of eyes already moving across my skin. My face stayed blank but my stomach dropped. Moon goddess. Not again. My blank face was not bravery. It was the only armor I had lear

Chapter: PLEASE HELP ME “Got her,” one guard snarled. They caught me before I made the corner. Two sets of hands slammed me against the stone wall and held me upright like I weighed nothing. I twisted, spitting blood. “Get your fucking hands off me. Rejected or not, Ben will kill you both if you touch what’s his.” The first guard, the one who had kicked me every morning for six months, chuckled. “Ben? That boy just found himself a real mate. She's a strong alpha blood from the northern pack. Pretty little thing with an actual wolf. They’re already in the tent. He gave us the go ahead before he even got her dress off.” My stomach dropped. “You’re lying.” The second guard leaned in close enough for me to smell the ale on his breath. “Hear that? Listen real close, wolfless.” I froze. Through the thin night air came the sounds. Moans. High, sweet, eager. Ben’s voice, thick with pleasure. “That’s it, baby. Louder. Let everyone know who you belong to now.” The new girl cried out his name like it tasted good

Chapter: COLD HEARTMinutes later the door opened.Brian stepped inside, closing it behind him with a soft click that sounded like a trap snapping shut.“Poor little Catherine,” he said softly, voice dripping fake sympathy. “Rejected right after being claimed. That must sting worse than the bite itself. To be honest I didn't think Ben had it in him. Such cruelty.”I didn’t look up. “Get out.”He chuckled and sat on the edge of the mattress. His hand landed on my bare thigh, fingers sliding up under the torn gown. “Ben was always impulsive. But me? I know how to appreciate a fine piece like you. I’ve waited six long months.”His touch crawled higher. I slapped his hand away and sat up despite the fire tearing through my ribs. “Touch me again and I’ll find a way to kill you in your sleep.”Brian grabbed my throat, squeezing just enough to make stars burst behind my eyes. “Still so much fire left. I love it. That’s exactly why I’m going to enjoy breaking you slowly. You’ll beg me to fuck you. You’ll call me
