She can pretend not to notice…

They say I’m the best looking in my family. I couldn’t care less.

But her…She takes my breath away.

Not everyone sees her the way I do. That’s fine by me because she’s mine.

I pity those who think they can come between us.

I won’t stop until she’s at my side. Mine to touch. Mine to love. Mine to push to her limits then bring her back.

She’s my everything. She’s my soulmate.

Bratva Beauty is an interconnecting, standalone Dark Mafia Romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains extra-steamy scenes that will make your toes curl and your granny blush. This is book four in The Ivankov Brotherhood, a six-book series that’ll keep you warm at night.

Excerpt:

Pasha

“Holy sh*t. I got pounded like a drunk college girl. I feel like I took that last one up the ass.”

Who the hell is that? There may be three women approaching me, but only one of them has my attention. I’m supposed to be checking my tanks, not ogling a surfer. But fvck, she’s hot. Fvck my tanks and gear. Where’s she going?

“Nothing’s gotten me this wet in months.”

That isn’t what I was expecting her to say, either. Raunchy sense of humor. I like it. Why do I want her to look at me so much? Because she’s fvcking hot.

“Pasha, you done?”

“What?”

I didn’t even notice my brother walking over. I never don’t notice things, especially people approaching me. Then again, I did notice her.

“Your tanks? Are you done? I’m headed to strip out of my wetsuit and rinse off. Misha and Sergei are already at the showers.”

“Yeah.”

I heft my scuba gear and take it over to the cart where my brother and friends already put theirs. I watch this mystery woman stick her board in the sand next to her friends’ and walk toward the very showers where Sergei and Misha are already stripping out of their wetsuits. 

Damn. That ass. The things I’d do to it.

“Planning how to get that blonde’s number?”

“Huh?” I glance at Anton. “No. Not that one.”

“Really? I don’t believe you. You’re staring at her.”

“Not her.”

I walk away, ignoring my brother as though I’m in a trance. As I approach the hotel’s outdoor showers, I lock eyes with Misha and jerk my head to the left. His brow furrows, but he moves down a shower. It leaves the one next to my dream girl open. She turns toward me just as I step onto the tiles. I reach back and unzip my wetsuit, peeling it down my arms like a striptease. I have her attention. Good.

Wait. Not good. She just turned to look at her friends. I glance down at myself, but there isn’t anything wrong. It’s not like my dick is hanging out. Sh*t. Did she notice that fast how hard I am?

“Pasha, catch.”

I nearly don’t look at Sergei fast enough as a bottle of shampoo sails toward me. I snatch it before it hits the woman. She must have sensed me and twirls around. The motion moves her bikini top dangerously close to her nipple. She tugs it back into place, much to my disappointment. I smile, and I get one in return. It crinkles the skin around her almond-shaped eyes, which are so dark, they’re nearly black. They’re only slightly lighter than her thick, black hair. Her bottom front two teeth are ever so slightly crooked, but it’s her ruby red lips I’m more interested in. Women buy lipstick to match that color. There’s no way she just surfed and came out of the water with lipstick in place. That’s natural.

“Hi.”

My voice practically cracks like a teenager. Her smile falters as she glances toward her friends, who’re watching us.

“Hi.”
