Unbroken: A Korolyov Legacy Novel (Korolyov Legacy Series Book 2)
KARINAI was born into blood and violence, raised in the shadow of an empire built on fear. They call me a princess, but crowns are just prettier versions of cages.For years, I survived by becoming something sharper than the monsters that tried to break me. A ballerina with blood on her hands.
A weapon wrapped in silk and satin. Every scar I carry tells a story I'd rather forget.Then Spencer Hawthorne looked at me and saw more than the darkness.He saw the girl beneath the armor.The problem is that men who love me rarely survive it.And if he stays, he'll learn the same lesson everyone else has.Some things cannot be saved.Especially me.SPENCERI've spent years learning how to preserve life.Now I know exactly how long I can keep someone alive while they beg for mercy.Then I met Karina Korolyov.She arrived in my life like a storm wrapped in designer dresses and hidden knives, carrying wounds no surgeon could stitch closed.
The world sees a mafia princess. I see a woman who has spent her entire life fighting battles she should never have had to fight alone.She thinks she's beyond saving.She thinks love is something other people deserve.She's wrong.Because I'd walk through hell barefoot if it meant reaching her.And if the darkness comes for her again, it won't find a victim.It will find me standing between them.
