His Perfect Lie
I was taken because I have the wrong face.
They say I look like a dead mafia queen.
I’m not powerful.
I’m not dangerous.
I’m just a woman who crossed the wrong street.
Now the Gravitch Bratva owns my silence.
And Lev Gravitch owns my survival.
He trains me to walk like authority.
To speak like I’ve never begged for my life.
To lie without flinching.
He is cold. Controlled. Untouchable.
The kind of man raised to follow orders—
even when they end in blood.
Forced proximity turns volatile.
Fear blurs into heat.
And I start wanting the man guarding my cage.
I’m supposed to be bait.
A perfect lie meant to start a war.
But the enemy isn’t fooled.
The guns are already aimed.
If the truth comes out, I die.
If Lev saves me, he betrays everything.
When the lie collapses, he’ll have to choose—
the Bratva… or my life.
Author’s A dark, high-stakes mafia romance featuring forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a fiercely protective hero.
No cheating. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.

Arc review
What’s a journey we have gone through with the Gravitch Syndicate.
We have come a long way within. Lev definitely deserved his story.
A Mafia Queen - Donna. A doppelgänger , wrong place wrong time. This was Vivika.
The Bratva knows no bounds and here loyalty was tested. Action packed, jealousy, double crossing, sex trafficking, loyalty in question, action hero and always “mine”.
Leona states there is no cliffhanger. A fierce protective hero exists but what does it cost him’?
Can be read as a standalone but best to read the 2 books prior. Remember a foundation is established in creating the characters.

A women who doesn't like confrontation Vivika doesn't know that her life us about to take a giant leap.
Kidnapped, trained to be a woman of absolute power is asking far too much for this timid woman, will she cope.
One man who is in charge of the transformation is Lev and there's no let up until she has everything right.
What a journey they both go on, this will only bring them closer, if he can just keep her alive and stay with him afterwards.
Can they stop a war that could happen if this goes sideways.
I have loved the Characterization of this story it made for me, really come alive.
Great story.

When we meet Vivika, she isn't standing up for herself, she's very meek. Then Lev abducts her and teaches her how to be someone else. I loved reading of her growing into the strong woman she could be.
The steamy passion between her and Lev is treated well, she succumbs even though she doesn't feel she should and the feelings intensify.
Both characters learn about themselves, even Lev, the big silent mafia man.
I enjoyed this story.

I thought that this was a particularly tantalizing read. I really enjoyed the storyline, and I thought the characters were brilliant. While my heart started off aching and breaking for Vivika, I found myself quickly captivated watching her grow and evolve into someone totally different and absolutely fierce. I thought the draw and chemistry between her and Lev undeniably tangible and simply sizzled. Filled with tension, suspense, drama, twists, action, heat and emotion, this book delivers thrills while getting you to fall hard basically without breaking a sweat.

She is an exact replica of a dead mafia queen that has Lev taking her for his own purposes. Vivika is a meek woman in the beginning but under Lev's tutelage she comes into her own and through her transformation a relationship blossoms between them now Lev has a real problem because if things don't go the way he plans will he take out the woman that has captured his heart. This story kept me glued to the pages.

Review of advance copy
Lev thinks Lev is another person. Finds out she’s not, and trains this timid woman to be the unalived mafia queen. But if things go south, then he has to deal with her in an unsavory way. Just one problem, he’s grown attached to her. This book was suspenseful, filled with tension and intrigue. I was pulled in from the beginning and hung on until the end. This was a really story. Absolutely loved it.

I fell in love with both Vivika and Lev, and the way they complimented each other was off the charts. I loved watching Vivika's character grow in strength and confidence like she was always supposed to be. I just couldn't put this down, and was hooked in the beginning.

His Perfect Lie: A Dark Bratva Mafia Romance (The Gravitch Bratva) Book 3 of 4: The Gravitch Bratva. By: Leona White. We have the Gravitch Bratva trying to survive. Vivika Rozhkova is the key to Ana Veche. It’s a great story where so much is uncovered. I enjoyed this story.
February 23, 2026
This was a fast paced romance. Vivika is kidnapped because she looks like someone else. She is taught and programmed to be the Donna. She is nothing like her and it’s amazing to see how she falls in line to be her. Lev is the sexy enforcer for the mafia. They are so electrifying together. =)
