Free novella!

I shouldn’t have heard the things I did. Shouldn’t have attracted his attention.

Now I feel his stare like a touch. Viscerally. Acutely.

The Russian assassin has me in his sights, and there’s only one way out.

His bed.

Good thing I’m drawn to danger.

## What happened in book 1?

[Darker Than Love](https://books.mozaikallc.com/en/works/anna-zaires/darker-than-love) by Anna Zaires

Once upon a cold, dark night, a Russian killer stole me from an alley.
I’m dangerous, but he is lethal.
I escaped once.
He won’t let me do it twice.

The revenge is his.
The betrayal is mine.
But so are the lies to protect the ones I love.

We’re cut from the same twisted cloth. Both merciless. Both damaged.
In his embrace, I find hell and heaven, his cruelly tender touch destroying and uplifting me at once.

They say a cat has nine lives, but an assassin has just one.
And Yan Ivanov now owns mine.
