Taken By the Boss by Noah Maddix

A dedicated cop. A bratva king. Unlikely allies and lovers in a growing war.

Crime made us flee Russia.
It also took my mother from me.
I’ve dedicated my life to eradicating organized crime.
When my childhood friend Maksim Pasternak arrives in NYC, I’m thrilled to reconnect.
Until I learn he’s the new head of the Petrova bratva and my boss orders me to put him behind bars.
He’s precisely he kind of monster I’ve always fought against.
Yet, our attraction is undeniable.
Our time together…mind-bending and soul-searing.
I’m risking everything to be with him.
It can’t continue.
Not with my boss breathing down my neck and the Costellos in Maksim’s crosshairs.
I won’t let another war start on my streets.
Not on my watch.
But when I learn I’m carrying his child, my focus has to shift.
To protecting myself and our baby from anyone who may harm us—even its own father.
The war between black and white, right and wrong, death and life is raging around me.
I just hope we can survive the fallout.
