Story: Blazing Embers

“Petra Romanov.”

“I like her,” I say. “She’s the one who helped me escape your brothers in New York.”

“Yes, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that.” He raises an eyebrow. “How the fuck did you disappear into thin air? Or was Petra’s DNA mutated with a chameleon's, and she made you disappear by blending into the alley wall?”

I laugh at his crazy imagination. “You watch too many movies.” I kiss his nose and then grin. “But I’m afraid I can’t tell you the secrets of my kind,” I tease. “And if I told you, I’d have to unleash the Widow on you…”

“Ah, but she’s my assassin,” Ruslan says, smugly.

“Yes, but she’s my mother.”

“Then, I’ll just have to tickle it out of you.” He tackles me with tickling fingers, making me squeal and shriek.

“Stop! I’ll pee!” I laugh.

Then his lips crash into mine, and the world melts away. An oasis as we wait for news of my sister's rescue, so we can start to plan the building of bridges that will unite two powerful Bratva families to create a new legacy in which we can all thrive.

END OF BOOK SIX

A message from Kat Steele:

Finally, the explosive saga of the Vegas Bratva Kings series comes to an end…it’s bittersweet, isn’t it? I know these characters will stay in my mind for a long time, even though I’m done writing, and I hope that this story will find a place in your heart as well.

The good news is that you won’t have to wait long for my next series! I’m going back to hard-hitting, steamy duets with all the drama and danger you’ve come to know and love.

Don’t miss Tattooed Vow, book 1 in the Popov Bratva duet!

He’s danger in a tailored suit. I’m the line he was never meant to cross. And now I’m carrying his baby.

Dimitri Popov lives in the shadows—an enforcer, a killer, the brother who protects the Avilov Bratva empire with ruthless precision.

He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t flinch. And he sure as hell doesn’t fall in love.

Until me.

It started with a kiss that scorched through my defenses and a threat that sent us running.

Now I’m tangled in a world of blood-soaked loyalty and forbidden heat.

And Dimitri? He’s become my only safe place in a world that wants me dead.

He says I’m his. That he'll protect me at any cost. Kill for me. Die for me. And the terrifying truth?

I want him to.

But protecting me might just destroy us both.

Dark, addictive, and dripping with danger, Tattooed Vow will leave your heart racing and your sheets on fire. This is not just a love story—it’s war.

Take me to Tattooed Vow!
