Sasha enters the Russian military pretending to be a man because it’s the only place she can hide from the massacre that wiped out most of her family. Captain Kirill Morozov—cold, brilliant, and forged by cruelty—spots her grit and tests it without mercy. A joint mission goes catastrophically wrong, pushing them into a snowstorm, a fake marriage in a stranger’s home, and a truth he already knew: she’s a woman with a blood-debt. Back in New York, Kirill returns to the crime empire he abandoned and starts a quiet war against his own family. Sasha becomes his shadow and, slowly, something much more. But every move forward unearths an older conspiracy, every kiss is a power play, and every act of protection threatens to become a cage. Blood of My Monster is a dark mafia romance about survival, obsession, and the cost of revenge. It ends on a cliffhanger that all but guarantees you’ll reach for book two.
