BETTER BROTHER: A Bratva Dark Romance
He came to save her family. He stayed for her. And in the Bratva, nothing is more dangerous than that.
When a man is murdered at her father's dinner table and the wrong family gets the blame, Vesper Dravenik has one night to watch her world collapse — and one unexpected man sitting in her armchair when she gets home.
Cassian Belstrav doesn't do mercy. He doesn't do casual. And he has never, in thirty-two years, walked into a room and been unprepared for what he found.
Until her.
She is not what he expected. She is sharper, steadier, and more dangerous to his carefully constructed world than any enemy he has ever faced across a table. He was sent to Chicago to neutralize a crisis. He was not sent to notice the way she reads a room, or the way she laughs before she can stop herself, or the way she looks at him like she has already decided to find out everything.
He tries to maintain the distance.
He fails.
But the enemy they dismantled together didn't die cleanly. His network survived him — and when it resurfaces, it reaches directly for the one thing Cassian Belstrav has never had and cannot afford to lose.
Her.
