The first time I met Vitali Konstantinov, he broke a man's hand for groping me on the bus. That should have been my warning. My name is Katya Petrovna. Once, I was a girl who imagined a better life while navigating 1990s post-Soviet Russia ruled by political corruption and organized crime. Then I met Vitali. Vitali was supposed to be a stranger I never saw again. Then came the roses, the gifts, and the expensive dinners in a world where those things didn’t exist. He fell first. I fell harder. But there are things Vitali does that I was never meant to know about. And once you know why no one tells Vitali Konstantinov 'no,' you understand that there was never a choice at all. Not for me. Not for my family. I went from an office desk to my fingers wrapped around a Makarov pressed against a man’s throat. From cabbage pirogi to caviar and fur coats. To wearing his collar made of pure gold. My name is Katya Petrovna. He was my best decision. He could be my last.

A girl would be such a blessing... The last time Maeve saw her cousin was the night she escaped the cult they were raised in. For the past two decades, Maeve has worked hard to build a normal life in New York City, where she keeps everything—and everyone—at a safe distance. When Andrea suddenly reappears, Maeve regains the only true friend she’s ever had. Soon she’s spending more time at Andrea’s remote Catskills estate than in her own cramped apartment. Maeve doesn’t even mind that her cousin’s wealthy work friends clearly disapprove of her single lifestyle. After all, Andrea has made her fortune in the fertility industry—baby fever comes with the territory. The more Maeve immerses herself in Andrea’s world, the more disconnected she feels from her life back in the city; and the cousins’ increasing attachment triggers memories Maeve has fought hard to bury. But confronting the terrors of her childhood may be the only way for Maeve to transcend the nightmare still to come…

Lennox Hayes has always been a spitfire. She’s got a stubborn streak a mile wide, and big dreams of getting back on the pro rodeo circuit. Until then, she’s stuck working the family ranch under the watchful eye of Bishop Bryant—the grumpy, no-nonsense foreman who’s made it clear he doesn’t have time for her wild ways. Bishop has spent his life proving himself at Black Springs Ranch. The Hayes family took him in when he had nothing, and he owes them everything, including occasionally keeping an eye on their reckless youngest daughter. But Lennox isn’t a little kid anymore. She’s a fierce, frustrating woman who knows just how to get under his skin. They’ve never gotten along, and they’ve never tried to. But when they are forced to work together, sparks fly and tempers flare. Beneath the arguments and tension lies something neither of them is ready to admit. Hating each other was easy. Resisting each other might be impossible. But risking their hearts? That could cost them everything.

Every monster needs someone who understands them. I never thought it would be me. As a newly licensed psychologist fresh out of graduate school, I thought I was prepared for anything. Then I met Axel Morrison—charismatic, brilliant, and the most dangerous inmate in the facility. A man whose violent past should have sent warning signals blaring through my mind. Instead, I found myself drawn to him. To the darkness behind those piercing green eyes that seemed to see right through my professional facade to the shadows I've spent a lifetime denying. Each therapy session becomes a dangerous dance. The line between doctor and patient blurring with every session. While I'm supposed to be analyzing him, he's methodically taking me apart, piece by piece. My colleagues warn me, and my training screams at me to maintain boundaries. But the pull between us is electric, inevitable, and completely forbidden. I've always been the good girl, the anxious overachiever desperate to help others. Now, I'm risking everything—my career, my freedom, my sanity—for a man who destroys everything he touches. The most terrifying part? As his obsession with me grows, so does mine with him. They say we're all one decision away from disaster. I've made mine. And these prison walls no longer protect the world from him—they imprison me with my darkest desires. Imprisoned is a dark prison romance standalone with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. At the beginning of the book, you will have access to a full list of the warnings. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.
