ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 18, 2023

We were off-limits to each other right from the start…
I’m the governor’s daughter and he’s a mafia boss in the Bratva.
It was a no-brainer.
I was forbidden to him and him to me.
But when we met at his nightclub, I thought he was my prince charming.
I couldn’t fight my attraction to the tattooed Russian god, any more than he could for me.
Dante Levitsky is tall, dark and dangerously handsome with Mediterranean blue eyes you could swim in forever.
Our chemistry is the type people read about and wish for their whole lives.
After the accident a year ago that nearly stole my life, he felt like my second chance at living.
Saying no to a secret relationship when he asked me felt like losing a limb.
So, I agreed, thinking it was the best idea ever.
Until it wasn’t. And I find out he lied.
Then his dark secrets slapped me in the face.
Secrets and plans for retribution against my father that will turn my world upside down.
I wasn’t supposed to fall for the villain.
But at the time I didn’t know he was my enemy.
Or that I would become his new obsession.
He’s the monster I never saw coming and he plans to take everything.
Including me.

REVIEW: RUTHLESS SINNER is the first instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult EMPIRE OF SINNERS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is thirty year old, billionaire/ second in command to the Bratva Pakhan Dante Levitsky, and twenty-two year old, artist Serenity Bell’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual omniscient first person perspectives (Dante and Serenity) RUTHLESS SINNER follows the forbidden romance and relationship between thirty year old, billionaire/ second in command to the Bratva Pakhan Dante Levitsky, and twenty-two year old, artist Serenity Bell. Serenity Bell is the youngest daughter of Massachusett’s Governor Jason Bell but all is not well in the hierarchy. Serenity is expected to marry, a man connected to law and politics but Serenity has found herself falling for the ultimate bad guy in the guise of Bratva member and businessman Dante Levitsky. Dante lost his family years before, and as the sole surviving heir to his uncle’s position, Dante is second in command but secrets and lies are about to reveal the ultimate betrayal, and Dante is determined to seek vengeance against the man he once loved. Meanwhile, Serenity is forbidden to see our story line hero, having been promised to a man she does not know. As Serenity continues to defy her father, she will discover that her father’s secrets are dangerous and dark. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Dante and Serenity, and the potential fall-out as Serenity becomes a pawn in the world of the American politics, and the Russian Bratva.

The relationship between Dante and Serenity begins by accident when Serenity and her best friend Harper celebrate their futures at a club owned by Dante Levitsky. Serenity has no idea as the Dante’s past, his history or his connections to the mob but Serenity refuses to abide by her father’s demands, demands that push Serenity into the direct line of fire. Dante Levitsky knew immediately that Serenity was the woman that called to his heart but her family connections are about to expose a deep seated hatred, and quest for power she knew nothing about. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative with some light scenes of BDSM.

We are introduced to Dante’s best friend and right hand man Virgo Antonov, a man who is struggling with the loss of the woman he once loved; Serenity’s step- sister Natalie; her father Governor Jason Bell, and Jason’s wife Melissa; Dante’s uncle Igor, as well as several members of the Bratva, the Creed Alliance, and various security coming in and out of their lives. The requisite evil has many faces. Virgo’s story line is next.

RUTHLESS SINNER is a Romeo and Juliette style story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, dysfunctional families, abuse and murder, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dark, gritty, twisted and haunting; the romance is seductive and sensitive ; the characters are brooding, edgy and dynamic. RUTHLESS SINNER ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
