Cherished By the BRATVA Grump

I came home because I had no idea what I wanted next.

Demyan Federov takes one look at me and decides the answer is him.
After years of dancing on cruise ships, I’m exhausted, burned out, and no longer sure the dream I’ve chased since childhood is even mine anymore. So I return home to my foster mom, planning to rest, regroup, and figure out what comes next.

Then I meet Demyan.
Huge. Tattooed. Intimidating. And apparently incapable of looking anywhere but at me.

The grumpy Bratva fixer decides almost immediately that he wants me, and Demyan isn’t a man who does anything halfway. But falling for a man whose job involves fixing the Federov family’s messiest problems was definitely not part of my plan.

The problem is, beneath all that muscle and menace is a man who understands exactly what it feels like to realize the life you’ve always known might not be the one you want anymore.

I’m trying to figure out if I still want to be a dancer.
He’s trying to figure out who he is outside the Bratva.

And somewhere between dance lessons, stolen kisses, and a terrifying amount of attention from one very possessive Russian, we might just figure out what comes next together.

Because Demyan Federov has decided I’m his future.
Now he just has to convince me.
