Barshan by K.J. Dahlen

Barshan: There’s a war coming.
Decade old secrets are resurfacing, and the Ukrainian mob wants blood.
They have their eyes on my family and this I can’t allow.
There’s also a girl involved.
I had no interest in her beyond keeping her alive.
Yet when I met her, she intrigued me.
She didn’t seem to care who I was
The mobster. The killer. The devil with a twisted sense of justice.
I never wanted to save someone before.
There is no room for weakness in my world.
No one leaves the mob unscathed.
But I’ve been known to break the rules.
And I will break those who seek to hurt her.

Talli: He’s a mobster, a killer, a devil with his own twisted sense of justice.
When I saw him for the first time, I remember something my father told me a lifetime ago.
Never get involved with the Bratva.
But I can’t help it.
He sparked something inside me.
Something I thought I forgotten.
My heart. My feelings. My desires.
