villains

"Miriam, I've come to take you away as promised." he said. Seriously? After over fifteen years he had disappeared from me and now thirteen years of being married. He certainly must be crazy. What makes him think that he could come here after all these years to say that to me. I pulled my hands away from him as I glared into his eyes. "No Eli. I am happily married with kids now. You do not belong here so leave. You left me fifteen years ago." I said "Happily married? Miriam, you have been married to a murderer!!! Where do you think I have been all these years?" he asked me Miriam's marriage is just about to meet its first roadblock when her ex boyfriend who left her fifteen years ago shows up on her porch covered in mud but in the same clothes he wore when he left her years ago. It would seem that her husband for thirteen years now might not be the sweetest as claimed. And maybe sometimes even the biggest villains of our life might just be the one we share the same bed with.

Victoria Bura is the deadliest kept secret in the criminal underbelly, her father's legacy is cleaning up after the wealthiest and deadliest families in the world under the guise of being a modest hog farmer. When her father dies, leaving Vic and her sheltered, inept, contradictious younger brother to pay his debts it places her right in the path of Alexander Volkov a man more infamous for his ruthlessness than his name, and he makes it perfectly clear he knows the ghost in Victoria Bura's closet. Now Vic's life is turned inside out as she finds herself not only employed to the head of the most dangerous family in history, but she is left at the mercy of his three most trusted mercenaries. She soon finds that the Volkov family may not be the villains in her story, that title may just be claimed by someone much closer to home.
