••••••

REVIEW: RUTHLESS REBEL is the second instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES erotic, romance series. This is twenty-nine year old billionaire Jericho Grayson, and twenty-six year old dancer River St. James’ story line. RUTHLESS REBEL can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading book one Ruthless Knight.

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

SOME BACKGROUND: Jericho Grayson and his brother Knight are their father’s eldest sons but Tobias Grayson refuses to recognize his eldest boys. Grandfather Bradford Grayson has made it clear, in an effort to gain control of Grayson Inc, each of the grandsons must prove they are worthy by first performing a task that will be difficult for everyone involved.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Jericho and River) RUTHLESS REBEL follows the rekindling romance, and marriage of convenience between our story line couple. Approximately eight years earlier Jericho destroyed the woman he loved, walking away in an effort to protect her heart, and his own reputation. Fast forward to present day, Jericho will come face to face with the woman he still loves, the woman he would destroy, a second time around. River St. James is struggling with life including paying the debts of her ailing aunt, and catering to the whims of her embittered father.At the demands of his grandfather, Jericho needs to marry to inherit the mantle of CFO and thirty percent ownership of Grayson Inc, and River is ripe for the picking. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and marriage of convenience between River and Jericho, and the fall-out when secrets from the past threaten our story line couple.

The world building focuses on the River’s need to protect her father, and save the woman who sacrificed everything for our story line heroine. Jericho Grayson is hiding years of betrayal behind his need for a woman whose heart he destroyed, a betrayal, that once revealed, runs much deeper than anyone could have ever imagined. Jericho’s backstory is heartbreaking; River’s history in the aftermath of Jericho’s rejection is rife with suffering and betrayal, a betrayal that will continue without her knowing.

The relationship between Jericho and River is one of second chances. River struggles to forgive Jericho for breaking her heart but the truth will reveal a much darker betrayal by someone else. Jericho has never stopped loving our story line heroine but Jericho believes his secrets and lies will destroy everything he has worked hard to forget. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

Most of the secondary and supporting characters have questionable intentions, and not without a darker agenda. We are reintroduced to Jericho’s brother Knight, and their embroiled half brother Bastian: River’s ex fiance Sasha Konstantin, and her father Neil St. James; Jericho’s best friend, professional hockey player Luc; River’s best friend Eden; and Jericho’s assistant Corey. The requisite evil has many faces. Luc’s story line is next.

RUTHLESS REBEL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, greed and deception, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic, impassioned and emotional; the romance is seductive; the characters are broken, charismatic and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2023

I don’t remember who I am or where I came from. But he does. He found me. He knows me. He told me we used to belong to each other. And he wants me back. His name is Virgo Antonov. The man with a face and body that looks like it was sculpted to flawless perfection by all the angels of Heaven. I might not remember him, but that night when he found me, he sparked something familiar in my heart. The problem is, after I was rescued from the accident that stole my memories, I was given one warning- Don’t trust anyone who recognizes you.

Virgo has trouble inked all over his body in decadent Bratva tattoos. He’s the kind of man you’d run from, anyway. But the choice to run is taken from me when I find myself behind bars, suspected of murder. When Virgo saves me with a crazy offer of marriage, I accept because I don’t have a hope in hell of clearing my name. I’ve been calling myself Alice because it feels like I’ve been crawling down an endless rabbit hole. Now he’s taking me to Wonderland.

The place that holds answers I might not want to find and dark secrets someone wants to keep buried. As my memories start pouring back, I remember the danger that sent me running. Although Virgo vows to protect me, being with him is one mistake I shouldn’t have made. Because someone still wants me dead.

REVIEW: MERCILESS SINNER is the second instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult EMPIRE OF SINNERS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is twenty-six year old Irish mob princess Olivia O’Ridian , and thirty-one year old, Bratva heir Virgo Antonov’s story line. MERCILESS SINNER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but for back story I recommend reading book one RUTHLESS SINNER.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Olivia and Virgo) using present day and memories from the past, MERCILESS SINNER focuses on the rekindling romance and relationship between our story line couple. Several years earlier, Olivia’s parents were murdered, and our heroine disappeared without a trace leaving a heart broken and angry Virgo Antonov behind. Fast forward to present day wherein Virgo, who has never stopped looking for the woman he loved, will discover his heart working in Monte Carlo, a woman who no longer remembers what happened or why. To keep Olivia safe, Virgo forces Olivia to become his wife, as he searches for the people responsible for destroying the their lives. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Olivia and Virgo, and the potential fall-out as the past refuses to let, again taking aim at our story line heroine.

The worlding building continues to focus on the group known as the Creed, a collection of Mafia, Bratva and Mob leaders who control the illegal underground around the world. As Olivia struggles to regain everything she has lost, Virgo begins to suspect someone close, for destroying the woman he loved.

The relationship between Olivia and Virgo is one of second chances. Olivia no longer remembers her past but for a few moments including the death of her beloved parents. With the help of a professional, Olivia must come to terms with the cruelty of her world, a cruelty that very well extends to the man she once loved. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, we are introduced to Virgo’s sister Piper and her husband Ivan; Bratva Pakhan and Virgo’s boss Dante Levitsky (Ruthless Sinner #1); Olivia’s uncle Seamus, and her brother Cillian, as well as Virgo’s father Andreas Antonov; and Olivia’s friend Amelia. Cillian’s story line is next.

MERCILESS SINNER is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, greed and jealousy, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing, twisted and dramatic; the characters are deceptive, charismatic and dynamic; the romance is provocative and healing.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 3, 2023

My villain. My monster. My Ruthless knight…
Knight Grayson isn’t just one of New York’s elite billionaires.
He’s the embodiment of Hades in a tailored suit and a beautiful devil waiting to destroy.
He always gets what he wants, no matter the cost.
Including me.

One harmless, sexy encounter places him in my path and before I know it, I’m caught in his strategic trap.
Although he insists I’m not his Persephone, he steals me away from my almost-fiancé́.
And my life.

This isn’t like the mythical tale of old driven by love.
To him, I’m a pawn in a game of power because I have something he wants.
In order to build his empire and get his legacy, he needs my inheritance.
Since the only way to get that is to marry me, he forces my hand by using my father.

Six months of marriage, along with the ownership of my inheritance, and my father’s extortionate debts will go away.

To save my father, I signed Knight’s contract, binding myself to every term and condition.
But then, the boundaries between us begin to blur.

Each public kiss, intended for show, feels dangerously genuine and pulses with undeniable attraction.
As his hunger for power evolves into a craving for me, we start to forget that our marriage is a contract.
Yearning for his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was becoming his new obsession.

But when the veil lifts, revealing his dark secrets and twisted lies, we both realize we have more to lose than just ourselves.

REVIEW:RUTHLESS KNIGHT is the first instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES dark, erotic, romance series. This is thirty year old, billionaire Knight Grayson, and twenty-four year old, writer/journalist Aurora Wright’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Knight and Aurora) RUTHLESS KNIGHT follows the building relationship and arranged marriage between Knight Grayson and Aurora Wright. The only thing standing between Knight Grayson and the position of CEO at Grayson Inc is our story line heroine. Knight and his brother Jericho are their father’s eldest sons but Tobias Grayson refuses to recognize his eldest boys. Grandfather Bradford Grayson has made it clear, in an effort to gain control, each of the grandsons must prove they are worthy by first performing a task that will be difficult for everyone involved. Knight is determined to win at whatever game his grandfather is playing but never expected to fall in love with his intended target. Enter journalist/writer Aurora Wright, a young woman whose life is about to be destroyed by her reckless father, and a determined billionaire who will win at all costs. What ensues Is the building but acrimonious relationship between Aurora and Knight, and the potential fall-out as their arranged marriage/marriage of convenience is a ruse; a betrayal from the father she loves, and the man who is stealing her heart.

The world building focuses on the dysfunctional family dynamics of the Grayson family, and the betrayal at the heart of Aurora’s loss. The only way to protect her father, Aurora must marry a man she does not know but a man who is about to control every aspect of her life. Aurora is unaware of the true nature of the deceit but truth reveals years of lies perpetuated by secrets and sins of which our heroine is completely unaware.

The relationship between Aurora and Knight begins as an almost one-night stand but Knight is well aware of his intended victim, and Aurora is about to fall for a man who will control her life. Married within weeks of introduction, Aurora must play the part of a loving wife or lose control of what is left of her spiralling life. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to several key characters who play a significant role in both Aurora and Knight’s relationship and life: Knight’s brother Jericho, their half-brother Bastian, and father Tobias Grayson; grandparents Bradford and Etta Grayson; Aurora’s embattled father William Wright; her best friend Madison, and Aurora’s ex boyfriend Nathan, who is determined to claim what does not belong.

RUTHLESS KNIGHT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, games and manipulations, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is emotional and heart breaking; the characters are broken but determined and desperate; the romance is intoxicating and aggressive but Aurora is defiant to the end.

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.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 20, 203

My monster. My hunter. My husband.
It all started with a chance meeting in a bar that was almost normal.
I was drowning my sorrows, and he was the deadly handsome mysterious stranger who walked in.
He had that dangerous air about him I was always warned to stay away from, yet like a moth to a flame I was captivated by his charm.
All it took was one touch and I couldn’t resist.
When I’m with him he consumes me and our passion is enthralling.
Little did I know that behind Malik Volkova’s fairytale prince smile lurks a monster.
A monster who belongs to the Knights, a notorious secret society.
And we only met because he was actually hunting me.
By the time I find out who he really is, it’s too late, and he unearthed my biggest secret.
Out for revenge on the cartel he forces me into a twisted arrangement for my hand in marriage.
But our union drags me into a war and deeper into his obsession.
Soon it becomes clear there’s something he wants more than revenge—me.
But I’m not sure if he’ll be my destruction or my savior.

Hunter’s Revenge is a dark mafia enemies-to-lovers arranged marriage romance, which is book 3 of the Savage Legacy series. This book is a 120K word standalone romance that contains dark themes, dubious situations, mature content, and graphic violence some readers might find offensive and/or triggering.

••••••

REVIEW:HUNTER’S REVENGE is the third instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult SAVAGE LEGACY dark, erotic, Bratva romance series. This is twenty-eight year old Malik Volkova, and twenty-three year old, lingerie designer Gwen St. James’ story line. HUNTER’S REVENGE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gwen and Malik) HUNTER’S REVENGE follows Malik Volkova as he seeks revenge for the death of his Navy Captain, his best friend, and a year imprisoned by the Mexican Cartel. Six years earlier, US Navy Lieutenant Malik Volkova was taken prisoner in Kazakhstan, where he endured twelve months of torture at the hands of his captors but Malik would later discover the attack had been orchestrated by Manolo Navarro, the leader of the Navarro Cartel, and our hero is determined to take his revenge. Fast forward to present day wherein Malik will uncover the existence of Manolo’s heir, a young woman who is oblivious to what is about to befall her future. Enter twenty-three year old Gwen St. James, a lingerie designer, and the woman Malik is hoping to break, before she dies. Malik Volkova was control of the Navarro Mexican Cartel, and his direct line to power, is to marry the woman with whom he will fall in love. Malik is determined to take control of the Cartel but never thought Gwen would take control of his heart. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between Gwen and Malik, and the potential fall-out as Gwen becomes a pawn in a game between Malik, and the nightmares from his past.

The relationship between Gwen and Malik is one of force proximity. Malik Volkova is desperate to destroy the Navarro Cartel, and in doing so, take control of a billion dollar enterprise but to do so mean to take control of Manolo Navarro’s only heir, a young woman who wants nothing to do with her heritage or her birthright.Taking control of Gwen means destroying a little bit of our heroine’s heart, a heart that will be broken when Malik pushes Gwen out of his life. The $ex scenes are erotic, intense and provocative but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story line, although only used twice, more for shock and mature reader rating.

The colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters include Malik’s brother and their wives: Desmier and Anastasia (Devil’s Kiss), Zakh and Lorelai (Villain’s Obsession); guards Yuri and Vladmir; maid Kelly; housekeeper/ cook Jeanne; and Gwen’s business partner and friend Dru. The requisite evil has many faces.

HUNTER’S REVENGE is a story of greed, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is detailed,complex and captivating; the romance is seductive and dramatic; the characters are desperate, determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 28, 2022

Until he crossed the line for me.

We saw each other in secret, and I gave myself to him.

Then things changed when Zakh was framed for murder.

He left, shattering my heart into a million pieces.

He’s been on the run for over a year.

Every day that’s passed sees me trying to get over him.

But now he’s back weeks before my wedding and prepared to start a war.

The only other thing he wants, apart from proving his innocence, is me.

•••••••

REVIEW: VILLAIN’S OBSESSION is the second instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult SAVAGE LEGACY dark, erotic, Bratva romance series. This is twenty-eight year old, Zakh Volkova, and twenty year old, Lorelai Novak’s story line. VILLAIN’S OBSESSION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as the events of VILLAIN’S OBSESSION are as of a direct result of some of the events in book one DEVIL’S KISS.

NOTE: Some of the events of the current story line cross over with some of the events of Devil’s Kiss.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Zakh and Lorelai) VILLAIN’S OBSESSION focuses on the search for the truth. Lorelai Novak and Zakh Volkova have been in love with one another for as long as they can remember but their families respective positions with the Bratva, and the Brotherhood of Knights would not have allowed the two to get married. At eighteen years of age, Lorelai’s heart was destroyed when Zakh pushed the woman he loved out of his life but a few days later Zakh would be implicated in the murder of his uncle Leif, and for eighteen months our hero found himself on the run, staying one step ahead of those hunting him down. Having to remain in hiding, Zakh’s return home was greeted with the knowledge that Lorelai’s life was no longer in her control, and Zakh will vow to reclaim everything he lost. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Zakh and Lorelai, and the fall-out as Zakh hunts for the evidence that will exonerate him from the death of his uncle.

Zakh Volkova is a wanted man, and most of his family refuse to see anything beyond the accusations and lies purported to be the truth. Zakh needs to prove his innocence in order to claim the woman he loves but without the help of family or friends, Zakh is placing himself in the direct line of fire. Lorelai Novak lost her heart the day Zakh walked away but having been bartered by her father to the son of a Russian businessman meant Lorelai was no longer in control of her life, a life she knew would be dangerous and deadly. Zakh’s return meant the possibility of second chances but no one else was willing to give Zakh the benefit of the doubt. With her own life on the line, Lorelai knows the time she has left may be the only time she has with the man that she loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

The colorful secondary and supporting characters include Lorelai’s brother Leo, and their parents Julian and Irina Novak, as well as Zakh’s brothers Malik, Desmier and Anastasia (Devil’s Kiss); Lorelai’s intended Dmitri Konstantin, and his father Virgil; Zakh’s friend Garrett. The requisite evil has many faces.

VILLAIN’S OBSESSION is a story of power and control, obsession and madness; secrets and lies; betrayal and vengeance, love and acceptance. The fast paced premise is energetic, emotional and intriguing; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 14, 2022

In a world where the secret society and the Bratva reigns, villains and monsters own you from birth.
I was torn between two hearts:
The devil who stole me.
And the man I was promised to.
I was supposed to marry Viktor Volkova, heir to one of the most powerful families in the society.
But his older brother stole me on our wedding day, just as we were about to take our vows.
Like a hellish wild card, Desmier Volkova stormed into my life, seeking revenge for my father’s sins.
He forced me to marry him, dragging me into his game of lies, revenge, and deceit.
Then our twisted arrangement turned into something else neither of us saw coming—
Obsession, passion, and a war between three hearts.
A war that will either destroy me.
Or the man I choose to love.
Everything spirals out of control when skeletons from the past unleash dark secrets and whispers of
death.
Then the real war starts, and I won’t just be risking my heart.

REVIEW: DEVIL’S KISS is the first instalment in Faith Summers’ contemporary, adult SAVAGE LEGACY dark, erotic, Bratva romance series. This is twenty-eight year old Desmier Volkova, the new head of the Volkova empire, and nineteen year old Anastasia Sidorov’s story line.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Desmier and Anastasia) DEVIL’S KISS follows in the aftermath of the wedding that almost was. Anastasia Sidorov was about to marry Bratva heir Viktor Volkova when Desmier Volkova, the older and illegitimate son of Evgeni Volkova, a man currently on life-support and not expected to survive, steps in and claims Anastasia for himself. Forced, by a previous arrangement between the Volkova and Sidorov families, into a relationship with Desmier Volkova, Anastasia faces a possible future as a virtual prisoner of Desmier Volkova, the man with whom Anastasia will fall in love but all is not well within the Volkova family, when our couple find themselves pawns in a billion dollar game of winner takes all. What ensues is the building relationship between Desmier and Anastasia, and the fall-out as betrayal and vengeance threaten our story line couple.

Desmier Volkova has planned his revenge for years against those who murdered his mother, and left him for dead. Starting with claiming the Volkova empire, Desmier laid claim to his brother’s betrothed, the woman with whom he would fall in love. Anastasia Sidorov has suffered both physically and emotionally most of her life but a car accident left our heroine with no memory of the past, a past that was about to reveal everything she thought to be real, was a lie.

The relationship between Anastasia and Desmier is a forced proximity, arranged marriage, predicated upon an arrangement made years before. As the eldest son, Desmier assumes the mantel of boss, recognized by the Bratva and the Pakhan in charge, and with the position comes the hand of Anastasia Sidorov, the only daughter of the Volkova enforcer. Anastasia finds herself falling for a man who could just as easily destroy her life, a life made up of secrets and lies. The $ex scenes are impassioned and aggressive.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Desmier’s brothers: Viktor, Malik and Zakh, as well as their father Evgeni, his wife Mira, and their uncle Leif:Anastasia’s father Uther, and her best friend Lorelai, as well as Desmier’s ‘crew’ Jayce, Zane and Gytha; several members of the Brotherhood of Knights, and their leader Aleksander Ivanov. The requisite evil has many faces. Lorelai and Zakh’s story line is next.

DEVIL’S KISS is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, greed and obsession, sacrifice and love. The premise is dark, gritty and emotional; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are broken, charismatic, and energetic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 15, 2022

I never asked to be the monster’s new obsession.

Chad Volchkov is as merciless as he is beautiful.
He’s the savage leader of the gods of chaos who walk Raventhorn Academy’s campus.
He’s determined to ruin me and make me pay for my father’s sins.
I fight fire with fire.
Until he discovers a secret that could cost me everything.
Now that I’m at his non-existent mercy, he wants to break me.
Claim me.
Own me.
Make my body bend to his will.
I know how to choose my battles.
But this is a fight he promises I won’t win.
His twisted mind has him focused on a new prize—
Keeping me.

REVIEW:  BAD BLOOD by Faith Summers is a stand alone, contemporary, new adult, dark Mafia, bully romance novella set in the author’s Raventhorn Academy and Dark Syndicate worlds. This is Bratva heirs Chad Volchkov, and Billie Fairchild’s story line.

NOTE: Bad Blood was originally released in the April 2022 FILTHY ELITES anthology.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Chad and Billie) BAD BLOOD focuses on Billie Fairchild’s arrival at Raventhorn Academy, a prep school for the infamous, rich, powerful and elite. Billie’s arrival at Raventhorn is unwelcome by Bratva heir Chad Volchkov, a young man who blames Billie’s father for everything that has gone wrong in his life. Chad is determined to destroy our story line heroine, and in doing so, break what’s left of Billie’s psyche and soul. What ensues is the bullying and destructive attachment between Billie and Chad, and the fall-out as someone else seeks revenge against our story line couple.

Billie Fairchild’s only sin is to be the daughter of a sick and twisted man. Billie’s father is blamed for the destruction of Chad Volchkov’s family and his mother’s life, and in this, Chad is determined to seek vengeance against our story line heroine but all does not go according to plan when Chad begins to fall for the young woman he was hoping to destroy.

The relationship between Chad and Billie begins acrimoniously within minutes of Billie first arriving at school. From the outset Chad sets his sights on our story line heroine-stalking, emotionally and mentally abusing, blackmailing and a number of acts of questionable consent. Billie struggles in the face of the threats against her life and her heart, and in this, she gives in to the demands and orders of the man with whom she will fall in love. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include the requisite mean girl(s), easy girls, young Bratva crew in training, and the questionable actions of the people in charge.

BAD BLOOD is a fast paced, and heart breaking story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, abuse, bullying and aggression, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic, dark and often disheartening; the characters are broken, desperate and dynamic; the romance is questionable on so many levels.
