"Andrei Barinov married me under false pretenses, and now, I'm in danger because of him.
I met him at an ill-fated wedding under a storm of bullets. He saved me and gave me something that I never knew my entire life: What it feels like to be valued. To be wanted.
But even after he slipped his ring on my finger, there were still secrets that he kept from me. Secrets that made me think I would always come in second.
I thought I already gave him everything he needed, but I was wrong. He took my body, he stole my heart, and he locked up my soul.
But even now, with his baby in my belly, I'm no closer to finding out the truth of why he chose me. Why he wanted me. Why he needed me.
Deceitful Lies is book two of the Barinov Bratva trilogy. It is not a standalone. The story begins in book one, Deceitful Vows, and concludes inbook three, Deceitful Bond. For mature listeners."
"Last night, I saw a murderer kill someone in cold blood. Today, I'm expected to sell my business to some hotshot billionaire. The problem? They're the same person.
Arsen Isakov is the rich A-hole trying to buy out my family's dance studio after my father's death. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind and tell him that we'd never sell. But the moment he sat down across the table from me, I realized I'd seen him before.
Last night, in fact. When he killed a man in cold blood.
He says he's prepared to discuss the sale with me over drinks. The place he picks? The same place where I saw him kill someone.
I know what he's capable of. I know better than to refuse his demand. So, against my better judgment, I agree.
When I arrive, he tells me that he's the only one who can keep me and my mother safe from someone even worse than him. In exchange, I must play my role, walk down the aisle, and pretend to be his bride.
Simple, right?
But that was before our very fake wedding started having very real consequences. Before I learn the dark terrible truths. About Arsen. About my family.
And about a shared past between us that I never knew.
Sinful Devotion is book one of the Grachev Bratva duet. Galina and Arsen's story continues in book two, Sinful Obsession. This is not a standalone. For mature listeners."
"Bratva bosses aren't supposed to marry regular girls like me.
Andrei Barinov is the heir of the Barinov Bratva—a prince with the world at his fingertips. I was working as a wedding photographer, trying to forget my cheating ex-fiancé when my path crossed with his.
He offered me a chance to escape, throw caution to the wind, and forget my troubles. I never got a chance to tell him my answer when the bullets started flying. He saved me that day, and I thought I'd never see him again.
Until I find him standing in my kitchen.
He's making the same offer to me again. But this time, he's not giving me a choice.
He's telling me that I'm coming with him. He's telling me that we're getting married. He's telling me that I will say yes, whether I want to or not.
Bratva bosses don't marry regular girls like me. Which means there's something he wants from me. Something he needs. Something he's not telling me about.
And if I want to find out just what that is…
It's going to cost me my body, heart, and soul.
Deceitful Vows is book one of the Barinov Bratva trilogy. The story continues in book two, Deceitful Lies, and concludes in book three, Deceitful Bond. For mature listeners."
