Description
Five years ago, Roman Lebedev chose his cover over the woman he loved. He framed Lana as the traitor to save himself. He let her go to prison. He walked away and spent five years secretly suicidal, going through the motions of an empty life.
He spent five years waiting for her to come back and end it.
She came back as a ghost. Svetlana "Lana" Kuznetsova is a phantom now. A contract killer who specializes in making deaths look natural. She has been methodically hunting Roman, killing everyone he cares about, and getting closer to him with every body she drops. When she finally corners him in an abandoned warehouse and puts a gun to his head, he drops to his knees and whispers that he deserves it.
Lana still hates that she cannot pull the trigger.
Instead, Roman tracks her down the next day, bloody and determined. He tells her to either kill him or keep him, but he refuses to exist in a world where he cannot have her. Now, the Bratva’s most lethal enforcer is literally chained in her basement.
Roman still wants her. He has not, in five years, been able to touch another woman without wanting to cut his own hands off. He watches her every movement with hunger. He would let her torture him every day for the rest of his life just to be near her again.
Lana is furiously fighting her own weakness. Every interrogation is a dangerous game. She straddles his lap with a knife to his throat, their faces inches apart, both of them breathing hard and remembering when this violence was just foreplay.
The only way out of this hell is for Roman to bleed. He has to clear her name completely. He has to publicly confess that he was the traitor. He has to lose his reputation, his position, and face prison time himself.
He ruined her. Now he is going to spend the rest of his life earning her back.
The Bleeding Hearts series is a four-book interconnected standalone Bratva romance series, set in a Moscow Bratva world where four men built empires and lost their queens, and four queens came back as something the empire was never built to hold.
Bleed the Crown is Book Two. It is a toxic, second-chance dark Bratva romance
Obsessive, violent devotion
A fierce FMC contract killer
An MMC who begs to be kept chained in her basement
Knife-play and interrogation tension
A massive public confession and sacrifice
A "touch him and die" fiercely protective FMC
Bedroom doors closed. Heat on the page. Five years' worth of starvation, need, and rage.
For readers of Rina Kent, Neva Altaj, Sapphire Hale, and the closed-door dark romance niche that has been quietly waiting for a Bratva series of its own.
Powerful Men. Relentless Devotion. Closed Doors.
