“This is just a start to show you how much you deserve. Plus, you have been a very good girl, Baby. This is only part of your reward.s.”

Amelia, while out taking photos of robins in an icy park spots a dark figure through her lens watching her she panics and flees out of the city in her car. Realising she is being followed, she takes a series of sharp corners, passing a private property sign, and clips some ice going down a hill and into a tree. She was able to slip the predator staking her, but it also led her into the grim reaper's lair.


Aleksei is one of the Petrov sons, the ‘grim reaper” loose in New York, avenging his mother’s death. He finds Amelia injured in a car wrapped around a tree on his private property, not sure if she is a plant from the enemy or not. But from the pull he feels towards this unconscious woman he takes her into his cabin before a snowstorm sets in making them stuck together for the duration of the storm.


Aleksei and Amelia’s story, they are both forced into a literal forced proximity situation, when stuck in Aleksei’s cabin during a snow storm. This pushes Aleksei to explore feelings that he had suppressed of wanting someone enough to put his heart on the line. This man would set the world on fire to protect her. melting into a puddle of goo


This story is short but intense, full of mystery, and chemistry … the spice was spicy. If you are looking for a short, dark and spicy book this is one for you. Fast-paced, no messing about these two fall hard and fast. I do, however, feel like there were a few shortfalls with how short this story ended up being. I feel that some of the characters’ deep-seated wounds weren’t explored as much, which I wish I could have read a bit more about. Regardless of this though for a short heated story, this is one I will be re-reading when I need a quick fix in Dark Mafia in the future.


This is the fourth book to come out of the six The Petrov Family Dark Mafia Romance Novella, these books can be read in any order as they all connectively conclude with the Petrov Family Christmas, with all of the Petrov boys and their ladies. Each story has a common side plot that links the worlds of the individual books together.
