Dark Atonement

Book One in the Tangled Empires Series

If I were a decent man, I’d regret what I did to that unwilling girl until the day I die.

Alexi Kostrov was tricked into an unforgivable act against a girl he’d never met.
Now she’s on his doorstep—pregnant, terrified, and at the mercy of the Mafia.
His only option?
Marry her.

A man like him should never be a husband.
His brothers warned him he’d break her.
But the girl—and the child she carries—need Bratva protection.
And there’s no way in hell he’ll let his enemies get near his heir.

In the stories I loved, the girl was always rescued.
No one’s rescuing me.

Eloise Lombard must choose:
Marry into the Bratva… or face the Mafia alone.

She’ll do whatever it takes to keep her baby safe.
Even if it means binding herself to the man who destroyed her.
