Broken Circles - La série

Yannick Ischmov had everything he never wanted. Money, notoriety, and the wife. The unconventional contract that held him to his biggest regret had an expiration date; one he was counting the days down to. Fifteen years of penance paid would have been easier behind a cell door, instead, he walked free and bore the weight of the shackles imposed upon him. Jolie Summers lived in her own private hell. A scornful mother and little desire to change her life, she was content to muddle on through, not expecting more than she was given. Uninteresting was an apt word to describe the woman people affectionately called ‘Bunny’. They’d met once before, an unpleasant experience, and their paths should never have crossed again. But they did, and the second time was far more exciting than the first. While Yannick was moving on, Jolie was standing still, yet something… something stirred between them. Yannick pushed; Jolie pulled. Jolie fell, Yannick rose. Everything in between was one step closer to that perfect summer storm. A man with a past he was ready to walk away from, Yannick ached to live the life he’d always desired. Just so happened, he’d found the woman he wanted to share it with too, and she wanted nothing to do with him.

Broken Circles, Book #2 Enemies to Lovers - Explosive! Irina Ischmova is a woman well versed in mob culture. Once married to the boss, she finds it difficult to leave the life behind and start anew.

When circumstance plays right into his hands, he seizes his chance, betraying a man he loves and the brothers he grew up with. Striking up a deal, he decides he’s going to have it all, but he’s doing it his way. The two play a dangerous game of cat and mouse and what started as loathing for each other, ends up something entirely different. Their encounters are explosive, dangerous and downright unforgiving from the very start. While Irina begins to unravel, Tayte gets a glimpse of the real woman behind the harsh exterior, deciding there’s more to this woman than meets the eye. And while Tayte is eyeing up his future, Irina is questioning everything she ever knew about herself, wondering if she was ever worth enough to anyone to be more than a puppet to pull strings. It isn’t pretty. It isn’t love. Not yet, anyway.

Book #3 in the Broken Circles Series Nicknamed Slaughter, the goliath of a man with an easy appetite for violence, sat back and watched his brothers drift from the Ischmov circle one by one, growing ever more disgruntled as the days moved on. His best friend, Yannick, gave a man a lot to think about, and Sandir had no idea in which direction to head. The back seat of his car was never meant to be the place where his world tilted on its axis, nor was it meant to be an occasion that defined the man he was. Yet, the battered and broken stranger sobbing in his rear-view mirror and begging for his help, said otherwise. Maris Hart was a victim trapped in an impossible situation she couldn’t fight her way out of. The scars of untold hurts were stacking one atop the other, the bruises kept mounting up, and every day was a struggle for her life and sanity at the hands of a man who should have loved and cherished the gift she was. With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their way, Sandir extended his hand and begged in return. He had murder on his mind. It may have been the only way to save Maris before she became just another tragic statistic nobody heard about. Underneath the darkness Sandir Boshniv radiated, lay a softer side, and it would take a very special woman to uncover the heart of such a revered man. Maris just needed to be brave enough to reach out and take it. ** Please take note of the trigger warning attached to this novel.
