His Sweetest Temptation by Ava Zane

Jordan

As an aspiring social media influencer, I’ve dedicated my life to selling the abundance I can’t quite manifest for myself. Adventures I’ve never tasted but crave.

Then he appears. Literally. In my doorway.

He’s mafia.

I know it in my bones as deeply as I know he wants my father’s secrets. Secrets he’ll do anything to get. Secrets I can never give him.

He’s a lethal killer, capable of terrible things.

But despite my terror, it’s as if my soul recognizes his. As if he’s what I’ve been waiting for my whole life.

Then he kisses me, and I realize what should scare me the most. Not his violence. Not his ruthless control. But the way he tears down every wall I’ve built…and truly sees me.

Kirill

Her father was the journalist who uncovered secrets about organized crime families that got him killed fifteen years ago. Secrets that could now destroy the Kozlov family.

My job is to find his “insurance policy” and eliminate it.

Starting with her.

She’s an idealist, a ridiculous optimist I wrenched from her home against her will. And the most baffling—and intoxicating—woman I’ve ever met. Fearless. Like a diamond—dazzling but unbreakable. And dangerous, because she looks at me like I’m an answer, not a monster.

I kiss her to remind us both who holds the power. Control keeps you alive.

But one taste of her and I don’t just want her secrets. I want her. Worse, she wants me too. Not despite what I am but because of it.

And that’s the most dangerous thing of all.
