Vengeful Embers

Dragunov Bratva (Vegas Bratva Kings, Book 5)

One lie ruined everything.

One night with a Bratva king sealed my fate. Now I'm carrying his baby...and I'm the target of a bloody war. I had my life mapped out—Graduate school. Teach physics. Live quietly. No mafia. No danger. No drama. But everything changed the moment I found a birth certificate I was never meant to see.

When I agreed to be a surrogate, I thought I was helping friends. Instead, I stepped into a trap. Now I'm caught between two warring Bratva empires—and chained to the most dangerous man in Vegas.

Ruslan Dragunov is ruthless, cold, and beautiful in the most terrifying way. He says the baby growing inside me is his. He says I belong to him. But what he doesn't know?

I've been lied to my whole life. Used. Betrayed. Sold. And I'm done playing nice.

Because this girl isn't just carrying a Bratva heir—she's the storm that’s about to break the dynasty.

Contains mature themes.
