Violent Devotion (Paperback)

Paperback. He watched a man die in a dark alley. The killer let him live. That was the worst thing that could have happened.Mason Andrews works the night shift in pediatric emergency. He patches up broken kids, walks home alone at 3 AM, and never looks down dark alleys. Until the night he does-and locks eyes with a blood-soaked stranger holding a gun like it weighs nothing.Maksim should have killed him. Instead, he pinned Mason to a wall, memorized his name off his hospital badge, and let him go. Now the Russian crime lord won't stop showing up-dangerous, possessive, and looking at Mason like he's already decided Mason belongs to him.Mason knows what Maksim is. He's seen the bodies, the tattoos, the penthouse bought with blood money. But Maksim's hands are gentle when they touch him, and his enemies are already circling. When a rival faction drags Mason into a war he never asked for, Maksim makes a choice that will destroy everything he's built-and Mason discovers he'll pull a trigger to protect the man the whole world tells him to fear.Some love stories start with a spark. Theirs started with a gunshot. And the fallout will cost them five years, an empire, and every lie they ever told themselves about who they really are.Tropes: Mafia/Bratva Romance, Morally Gray MMC, Opposites Attract, Touch Him and Die, Captive-Adjacent, Forced Proximity, He Fell First and Harder This item is printed on demand.
