Dark Embers by Kat Steele

I pretended to be pregnant to save my sister.

Now, I actually am—with the Bratva king’s baby.

It started as a stupid, desperate plan.

Fake the baby bump.

Claim my sister’s secret love child as mine. Lie to everyone, including the most dangerous man in Vegas.

Then my sister disappeared.

Her forbidden lover and his wife got blown to bits in a car bomb. And I bankrupted myself trying to find her.

That’s when he found me.

Oleksi Mirochin. Ruthless. Possessive. Infuriatingly hot and drop dead gorgeous.

The Bratva king makes grown men cower in fear.

The same man who’s been a thorn in my side since the day we met. Now, he’s trapped me in his world. Not just as his personal attorney.

Not just as his plaything. But as his.

Our nights? Scorching. Raw. Filled with punishments I secretly crave.

Our days? Twisted games of control, secrets, and dangerous truths. Because the deeper we dig into the past, the more tangled we become.

I was never supposed to belong to him. I swore I’d never give him my heart.

But the second I saw those two pink lines on the test?

I knew there was no escaping him now.

Because this time… the baby in my belly is real and his.
