Scarred King: Adamov Bratva, Book 1

About this book

Laila finds herself in an impossible position when a desperate family crisis demands a solution she cannot afford. Enter Arsen Adamov, her gorgeous, billionaire boss, who presents a cold, transactional proposition: conceive his child the old-fashioned way, and he will provide the financial salvation she needs. The deal is meant to be simple, with no strings attached and an immediate exit strategy once the deed is done. However, the arrangement quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Just as Laila fulfills her end of the bargain, Arsen reveals a shocking truth—the "no strings" promise was a lie. Laila discovers that her role in his life is far from over; instead of walking away, she finds herself trapped in a new, binding reality: she is being promoted from surrogate to bride, whether she wants the title or not. Featuring the high-stakes "boss/employee" and "forced proximity" tropes, this dark romance dives deep into a web of danger, secrets, and volatile chemistry. As Laila navigates the treacherous world of the Adamov Bratva, she must contend with a man who plays by his own ruthless rules. *Scarred King* is a gripping, fast-paced start to this intense duet, ending on a cliffhanger that demands readers continue to *Scarred Queen*.
