Ballerina for the Bratva by Maura Rose
About Ballerina for the Bratva by Maura Rose
The flame burns hot in the dance of love…
ALEXEI
My father is gone and it’s up to me to run the Vanin bratva’s operations now. This means going to America to meet up with the Sokolovs, to strengthen the ties that bind and secure my family’s place in the Russian mafia world. As the new boss, I need to make a name for myself both at home and abroad, and find out more about the legacy my father left behind after his sudden death.
But that’s not all I find.
Her. The ballerina. Her grace and talent put even the best dancers from my home country to shame. Her energy and beauty make me want her, make me need her, make me crave a taste of her.
Damn the alliances, damn the expectations. I’m my own man, and I’ll do things my own way. I have to have her, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine…
JANET
Dance. It’s all I’ve known for my entire life. My parents told me I could be anything I wanted to be, as long as I was the best at what I did, and I have lived accordingly. Now, I have finally made it. I’m the prima ballerina—something I have fantasized about since I was old enough to tie my pointe shoes. Nothing can distract me from this dream come true.
Nothing except a handsome stranger with shockingly blue eyes and a roguish smile. He’s tall. He’s hot. And I can tell that underneath that tailored suit of his is a rock-hard body. And that’s not the only thing…
But he’s dangerous, I can tell. And as enticing as he is with his old-fashioned charm and sexy Slavic accent, I can’t let a man like that burrow his way into my heart. Can I?
BALLERINA FOR THE BRATVA is part of the Maura Rose Russian Mafia Romance series and sequel to BLAZING FOR THE BRATVA. It is 45,000 words long and can be read as a standalone. This novel has a slow burn that leads up to scorching-hot steamy scenes that could cause Kindles to spontaneously ignite (Note: Author not liable for any damage caused by flying sparks), it is safe with zero cheating, and has a guaranteed HEA that will melt your heart like a candle!

Author Bio:
Maura Rose is a long-time lover of the written word with a penchant for cooking (and eating) copious quantities of Eastern European food. When she isn’t busy wrangling her two adorable children or spending time with her patient and eternally supportive husband, she can be found cruising the back country roads of the California county she calls home with the music cranked up to full blast and singing along at the top of her lungs. It is during these moments of solitude that she dreams up most of the plots of her spicy romance novels.
Confess by A. Zavarelli
One contract. Two signatures. A marriage of inconvenience.
Gypsy
Lucian West isn’t husband material. He’s a stiff in a suit. Granted a hot one, but still. He’s one of the most hated men in America. An arrogant asshole. A ruthless attorney.
He gets what he wants in the courtroom, and outside of it.
Now, he wants me.
For reasons I can’t fathom, he’s determined to make me his wife.
He makes it clear he’s not above blackmailing me to put a ring on my finger.
The man might be richer than sin with devilish good looks, but hell will freeze over before I ever give my heart to him.
***
Lucian
I don’t do love. I don’t even do relationships.
But all of that changes when I stumble upon the tragic, beautiful woman confessing her sins in the dark of night.
She’ s supposed to be nothing to me. Nothing but a wife. Her smart mouth drives me crazy. Her attitude brings out the beast in me. I want to protect her. I want to bring her to heel. I want to own her pretty lips.
She belongs to me, she just doesn’t know it yet.
I’ve already made her mine in name. Now it’s time to claim the rest of her.
Explosive chemistry. Plenty of angst. Packed with emotion and dark themes. Confess is a standalone within the series and has a complete ending.

Guard the region
Protect the queen
Nurture the Clan

The Lost and Found Journal of a Miner 49er: Vol. 1
About The Lost and Found Journal of a Miner 49er: Vol. 1
In 2013, Jack Dublin and family traveled to the Grand Canyon for a week of whitewater rafting. When a monsoon rolled in, forcing them to higher ground, they sheltered in a cave unseen for nearly 150 years. Inside they found several journals from the time of the Gold Rush that revealed scattered treasures of the ages from sea to shining sea (and deep beneath them as well). The legends tell of explorers who harnessed ship and beast and rail to lay hold their dreams on a merciless frontier; exploits that elevated ordinary men into heroes, and the undoings that destroyed the rest. One man lived long enough to record the greatest history never told… until now.

Tamed by Tana Stone
Mandy was having a seriously crappy day.
And that was before she was snatched from Earth by bad-ass alien warriors in need of brides.
Taken to a high-tech space station designed to entice human women, LA socialite Mandy is anything but impressed. She’s not falling for their holographic fantasy suites, their promise of a dream wedding, or their gorgeous, brawny warriors. Especially not the abrasive, arrogant guy she’s been matched with.
The last thing Dorn wants is a mate. He craves battle and discipline, not a weak female.
As a Drexian commander tasked with defending his people from a menacing enemy, he has no desire for a frail human mate. Even if they are his species’ last chance for survival. Especially not one as spoiled as her.
But, unfortunately for Dorn, he has no choice. Not if he wants to get back to his battleship and save both Earth and the Drexian race from extinction.
This standalone action romance novel features steamy scenes on a holographic fantasy space station, a high-strung alien wedding planner with a penchant for platform shoes, deadly aliens hell-bent on invading Earth, and smoking-hot Drexian warriors with extra erogenous zones who are equally determined to protect Earth.
