Rusé

“Russian Mafia’s Queen” is a tantalizing, high-stakes dark romance that plunges into the dangerous world of the Russian mafia. Chloe Monroe, a woman with a hidden past, is thrust into a life she never expected when she crosses paths with the cold and calculating Nicholas Romanov, heir to the Russian mafia’s empire. Nicholas is a man driven by power and control, a leader who never leaves loose ends. But Chloe’s presence disturbs him in ways he can’t explain. Despite his dangerous world, Chloe’s past is more than just a mystery—it’s a puzzle he’s determined to solve. What’s worse, she seems to know more than she lets on, and the lies she’s living could threaten everything he’s worked for. As passion ignites between them, secrets begin to unravel, and Chloe realizes that staying hidden may no longer be an option. Nicholas won’t let her slip away, and Chloe knows that if he ever discovers who she truly is, her past will come crashing into her present—and no one will be safe.
