What's the cost of trusting your life to a lethal bratva king?
Vadim Stravinsky isn't just dangerous. He's the king of a criminal empire, with enemies deadlier than his icy stare. When he dragged me into his world, I didn't expect survival to come with a diamond ring and vows whispered in the shadows. But secrets now bind us tighter than any vow. Both the ones from his haunted past and the ones in my unexpected future. And that was before our enemies started circling like vultures. Eager to tear apart the delicate alliance we've forged—and extinguish the fragile life we've made together. Now every touch burns with forbidden heat. Every promise feels like a trap. And the man who once promised to protect me might be the greatest threat of all. Because in Vadim Stravinsky's cage of violence and desire: survival demands loyalty; love requires agony; and trust comes at a price higher than anything I dare imagine. Beautiful Agony is book two of the Stravinsky Bratva duet. This is not a standalone. You must read book one, Beautiful Cruelty, to understand what happens in this book. Contains mature content.
