Bratva Lullaby: Zarkov Bratva, Book 1

When Brooke's fiancé abandons her at the altar, she does the only sensible thing—buys a one-way ticket to New York and lets a dangerously handsome stranger on the plane flirt away her humiliation. It's spontaneous, it's reckless, and it feels exactly like the reset she needs. Until she learns his name.

Lev Zarkov isn't just charming and ruthlessly attractive. He's the pakhan of one of the most feared Bratva organizations in the country—a billionaire who treats every situation like a chess match and every person like a piece to be maneuvered. And now he's decided he wants Brooke.

His offer is as unsettling as it is impossible to refuse: pose as his fake fiancée to serve his carefully laid plans, and he'll personally guarantee her vanishing ex gets exactly what he deserves. It's a devil's bargain wrapped in silk sheets and designer suits, set against the glittering, dangerous backdrop of New York's criminal elite.

Brooke knows better than to trust a man like Lev. He's cold, calculated, and used to absolute control. But the heat between them is anything but cold, and the lines of their arrangement blur faster than either of them anticipated.

In this dark contemporary romance, nothing stays fake for long—especially feelings. The only question is whether falling for the most dangerous man in New York will cost Brooke everything she has left.
