Corrupted Guilt by Evie Adams

I made a deal with the devil—and I’m not letting the devil get out of it.

KATYA
I’ve had a crush on Yuri since my brother brought him home off the streets to be his best friend and protector. When my brother died, I thought Yuri might become the same thing to me, or more.
But when my father promises to marry me off to Petya, a sadistic up and comer in the Bratva world, I ask for Yuri’s help, knowing his help comes at a cost. I had no one else to turn to but the devil himself.
Now I’m his captive and his plaything and even bait to catch his enemies in a trap.
But he underestimates me.
Once I catch the devil, I have no plans to let him go and I have a deal of my own for him.

YURI
She’s my little kiska, a kitten with sharp claws who doesn’t know the danger she’s in. Curiosity might be the downfall for her, too.
But not before she fulfills her role in my plan. Not before I use her up for all she’s worth and make her mine.
She thinks she doesn’t want this life. That she doesn’t belong by my side. But I’ll show her how wrong she is. About everything, especially me.

CORRUPTED GUILT is a 60K word standalone dark romantic suspense with a HEA and no cliffhangers. My plan is two more books with characters from this one, but all will be standalones but share similar themes and tropes like kidnapping, caretaker, and criminals doing criminal things.
