Snowflake
Twenty-three years ago, an entire village was swallowed by blood and snow.
Now the man who may hold the answers is the one she's being paid nine million dollars to destroy.
Alexei Voronin rules Moscow's underworld.
Ruthless. Untouchable.
A man who has buried his enemies, survived every betrayal, and learned that loving someone only gives the world another way to hurt you.
Then Anastasia walks out of a Russian prison and into his home.
She's quiet when others beg for his attention. Defiant when others bow. Beautiful in ways he doesn't trust. And she sees things in him that no one else has dared to look for.
For the first time in years, Alexei finds himself wanting something he cannot buy, threaten, or control.
What he doesn't know is that Anastasia doesn't exist.
Her name is stolen. Her past is a fabrication. And behind her carefully constructed disguise is a woman trained to become anyone, kill anyone, and disappear without leaving a trace.
Her orders are simple.
Get close. Earn his trust. Destroy him.
But the man she's supposed to betray is nothing like the monster in her intelligence file. Beneath the blood on his hands lies a grief disturbingly familiar to her own. And somewhere in his past may be the truth about the night that stole everything from her.
Every touch becomes another lie.
Every kiss, another betrayal.
And every moment she spends in his arms makes the inevitable harder to survive.
Now Washington is losing patience, enemies are circling his empire, and the secrets buried beneath twenty-three winters are beginning to surface.
But in the end, which will win?
The killer she was made to be, or the heart she thought she'd buried long ago?
SNOWFLAKE is Book One of The Snowflake Duet, a dark Bratva romance filled with dangerous secrets, slow-burn obsession, and devastating betrayal. Ends on a cliffhanger.
The story concludes in SKAZKA — Book Two of The Snowflake Duet, coming December 10, 2026.

Thanks to Book Sirens for this ARC the following opinion is mine and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
A young child whose village is murdered is spared, trained to be an assassin for hire. A young boy taken from the same village by an underground crime boss, grows up to be his successor. Pasts struggle with the present. Children mourned, secrets kept and uncovered.
He. Is untouchable…She is deadly. Boundaries become crossed. Objectives unclear, as a slow burn romance erupts.
The pace is spot on, and my interest was easily kept as I turned the pages eager, yet afraid to find out what would happen next. It ends on a bit of a Cliff hanger that has ne exited for the next book that will be released!

I will say WOW!!!
The story begins on a happy note, but everything changes when a young child is placed in a hope chest. This act triggers chaos, leading to the destruction of a village. However, the child is spared and trained to become an assassin for hire.
Meanwhile, another boy, taken from the same village by an underground crime boss, grows up to be the boss's successor. Their pasts collide with the present as children mourn, and secrets are both kept and uncovered.
One character seems untouchable, while the other is deadly. Lines are crossed, and objectives become unclear as a slow-burn romance develops between them.
The pacing of the story is perfect; I was easily captivated and eagerly turned the pages. My curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t put the book down. The story concludes with a cliffhanger that has me excited for the release of the next book!

Another fantastic book! It had me staying up late to read it. I couldn't put it down. Nastya and Alexi's romance story was so well written. The yearning from the beginning between these two was so good! It is set in Russia, which I haven't read many in Russia, but loved that it gave it a different feel to it. I absolutely devoured this book.
