REMEMBER WAIT DESTROY

He came to destroy her family. She thought he came to save her.

REMEMBER WAIT DESTROY
Dragunov Bratva, Book One

LEV

I've waited twenty years to sit at this table.

Twenty years since my grandfather put a knife in my nine-year-old hand and gave me three words to live by: remember, wait, destroy.

He never told me pain doesn't fade. It sharpens.

Now I'm shaking hands with the man who had my father killed. Drinking his whiskey. Earning his trust.

Smiling like I haven't spent my whole life planning his ruin.

Across the room, his granddaughter watches me like I'm something she never dared to hope for.

She has no idea why I'm really here.

Or how much of my revenge depends on her.

GIULIA

I should have stayed away from Lev Morozov.

From those gray eyes. That quiet voice. The way he says my name like I'm someone worth knowing.

Instead, I thought: Finally. Someone sees me.

As Don Salvatore Rinaldi's granddaughter, I've learned to walk softly, keep my eyes down, and look pretty enough to be useful. In this family, women don't get a say.

They get a price.

Lev makes me believe there could be more. A life beyond these walls. A man who wants me beside him. A home where I'm allowed to breathe.

I don't know that he's already chosen my place in his plan.

I only know that when he offers me a way out, I want to take it.

He has twenty years of hatred to satisfy.
I have one desperate reason to trust him.

We're perfect for each other.
For all the wrong reasons.

An intense dark Bratva romance about revenge, obsession, and a betrayal that cuts deeper than blood.
