Marry the Bratva heir. Kill the Bratva heir. Don’t fall in love.

For ten years, I’ve worked as an assassin for one of Miami’s most notorious criminals. In exchange, he’s promised me the only thing that matters—the name of the person who killed my family.

Now I have one final mission.

Infiltrate the city’s most feared Bratva by marrying their heir, and then eliminate him.

But when our honeymoon takes us to a remote island estate, everything starts to unravel.

My new husband is cold and unreadable, and he refuses to touch me. And worse?
Someone else wants him dead.

Trapped in a twisted game of lies, betrayal, and dark secrets, I must seduce the man I have sworn to kill without losing control. But in a world ruled by power and obsession, nothing is what it seems.

Still I made a vow. ‘Til death do us part.

With a pen dipped in passion and a heart that beats to the rhythm of forbidden desires, M. James weaves tantalizing tales that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.

Follow her to the dark side where strong heroines fearlessly navigate treacherous paths and damaged heroes find solace in their darkest corners. Her words will wrap around your senses like a seductive embrace, transporting you to a world where love and danger dance a wicked tango.

M. James resides in the suburbs of Chicago but lives for the big moments that make life interesting. Although writing brings her passion and darkest fantasies alive, watching suspenseful thrillers with her two dogs and loving husband brings her excitement in the most exhilarating way. Nonetheless, getting lost in a dark mafia romance along with a tall glass of wine makes any day a bit juicier.

If your appetite craves the intoxicating prose of Rina Kent or the allure of Sophie Lark, prepare to be entangled in M. James' captivating new series. But be warned, dear reader, for her world is not for the faint of heart. It is a world where inhibitions are shed, and inhibitions are tested. It is a world where passion reigns supreme, and where the pursuit of love can ignite a blaze that consumes all in its path.

The story follows Valentina, a trained assassin working for Kane—the man who saved her when she was a child. Since the age of thirteen, she’s been groomed to kill, driven by a singular goal: to uncover the name of the person who murdered her parents. Kane holds that information over her head, using it to manipulate her into completing his missions.

Her latest assignment is her most dangerous yet: marry Konstantin, the heir to a powerful Bratva family, and kill him. Under the alias "Sophia," Valentina plays the role of the perfect woman. At his father's command, Konstantin reluctantly agrees to marry her.

During the wedding and honeymoon, “Sophia” acts like a spoiled, high-maintenance bride. She's baffled when Konstantin, instead of claiming his new wife, books them separate rooms and keeps his distance.

What feels inconsistent, however, is the portrayal of Konstantin. We’re led to believe he’s a sharp, formidable Bratva heir, yet he doesn’t seem to suspect “Sophia” might be a fraud—not even after discovering the gun she carried in the Savanna. And despite just telling her he plans to keep his distance, he suddenly decides to sleep with her. That attempt fails when they're attacked, and in a twist of irony, it’s Valentina who takes down the assailant—her second time saving Konstantin’s life.

As expected, she begins to fall for him. It takes him a bit longer to return the feeling, but he gets there. In the end, Konstantin becomes her ally, helping her uncover the truth and break free from Kane’s hold.

While the twist is predictable, it doesn't diminish the enjoyment of the story. The emotional development, chemistry, and action keep the pages turning.

I read everything M.James writes and love it & Twisted Fate was a great read.
A dark mafia story, an arranged marriage, enemies to lovers story with lots of twists & lots of spice too!
Valentina/Sophia is a trained assassin & her last mission is to kill her husband to be Konstantin, the heir to the Russian Bratva in Miami.
Valentina’s story is a tough one & you feel for her throughout and you can’t help root for her & Konstantin to be real but the lies that she has told mean they may never overcome them.
Another great book!
