And I'd instantly been attracted to him. That innocent desire had changed and shifted to something deeper, more meaningful… more obscene.
Now three years later, I am wildly in love with him.
And when I find myself alone with him, and after consuming one too many drinks, I throw caution to the wind and just give in to my feelings. But I get the shock of my life when Ivan is all about reciprocating… in every single filthy way.
But this isn’t just a one-night fling, apparently, because Ivan refuses to let me go. I’m his, and that’s fine by me.
And when I find myself pregnant by my big, burly Russian, I’m afraid things will deteriorate by the sudden reality of our future. When I reveal the biggest surprise we will probably ever have, will Ivan back out, or will he be ready for the biggest ride of our lives?
Lena's note: I know you like them fast and right to the point so don’t worry, this one gives you all the goods with Double V goodness, a hero with a delicious Russian accent, and all the romantic filth to whet your appetite! Enjoy this good old-fashioned safe smut-fest.

    Read at your own risk You do not say no to Graham Savage, because Graham Savage doesn’t ask. Just like his name suggests, he takes, and right now, he believes I’m his. He is a cold, calculated, ruthless, formidable Irish mobster, and... my step-dad. Regardless of the fact that it's nothing more than a business transaction, he's technically married to my mom. Even still, I find myself scared to be caught, yet even more terrified of being cut loose. They say love is like a butterfly…well, we are about to prove to the world that it’s also like a punch in the face. Sometimes inevitable…and always painful.

    If someone's expecting me to ask for permission, well, they're shit out of luck. I run the streets of New Orleans and if I have my way with it, I always will. That is, until a new dog comes into town. He's slick, cocky and arrogant as hell. Everything that leads me to believe I'll crush him at our meeting this evening. He isn't the first who's tried to take what belongs to my family, and he certainly won't be the last. But unlike the rest of them, he brought a bargaining chip with him. A woman by the name of Madelaine Rosseau. Her name isn't important to most, but to me she's worth nearly a million dollars. Her father's been avoiding me for almost a year. He owes my family quite the debt. A debt that grew out of control, but gambling debts will do that to you, especially when the odds are against you. He hasn't paid us back and I doubt he will. I'd assumed the only way we were going to get payment would be through blood, but now we have it in flesh. Madelaine Rosseau no longer belongs to her father--she belongs to me.
