Poka smert' ne razluchit nas. Till death do us part.Okay, yeah. My life is a dumpster fire. And I'm fairly sure it's too late to stop my heart being broken into a million pieces, unfortunately.Touched by Sin is the first in the Ivanov Family series, and is set in London, England. Although there's a small cliffhanger for the plot, the characters get a full HEA. This means the book can be read as a standalone.Tropes:Jealous / Possessive anti-heroesVirgin heroineTouch her and die vibesBest friend’s brotherBillionaire Bratva / Mafia / organised crimeProtectorAge gapQuickie marriages / reluctant bridesEnemies to lovers / bully vibesFound familyThis is a mafia-lite / dark romance. Although I write about villains who do bad things, I don't get too depraved in my books. At least, most of the time. If you like a bit of dark fluff with the occasional dip into wtf, plus a healthy sprinkle of men with red flags, I'm your girl ;)Content Guidance - this book contains issues that may be triggering for some.
