Ksiu Badb

He is Max “Lucifer” Yastrub — a crime lord who built his own empire on blood and fear. His name is a sentence. The tattoos on his hands are a map of sins, and his heart has long since burned in hell. She is Oleksandra Koval — Sandra to those close to her. She survived among wolves and has now become a predator herself. She isn’t afraid to look Lucifer straight in the eyes, even knowing it’s the same as signing her own death warrant. He wants to conquer her body. She intends to claim his soul. Their connection is a deadly challenge to criminal clans, to the law — and to themselves. There is no room for tenderness here. Only power, blood, and sin — a sin they will both have to pay for.

She only wanted peace. But summer had its own plans. And four men had theirs. Sarah is a bold, redheaded beauty who, after her fiancé’s betrayal, is dragged by her best friend to tropical islands to heal her broken heart. But at the secluded villa, where it was supposed to be just her and the sea, four tempting strangers appear — each of them a dangerous test for her heart and body. A tattoo artist with a dark past. A photographer whose eyes seem to read her soul. A silent restorer with a wild gaze. A rebellious biker who plays on the strings of desire. It was meant to be a summer of peace. Instead, it becomes a season of erotic games, jealousy… and unexpected love.

— Did you do something to the man who touched me? — No. But now he’s very careful. — You’re insane. — Maybe. But you’re my addiction. And I’m not used to sharing. Adelina is a redheaded menace with a razor-sharp tongue who came back home for just a few days. But one night with the local legend changes everything. Matvey Makarov. Maestro. Charismatic, influential, dangerous. His name is known by those who prefer to avoid trouble. And he always plays by his own rules — and never backs down. She was supposed to leave. He was supposed to forget. But the game has begun. No way out. — I won’t be yours. — Too late. I’ve already decided.

Elizaveta Chatellet: The daughter of Italy’s don, the wife of the city’s “master,” an abandoned daughter and a betrayed lover. My only desire is to destroy those who dared to ruin my life. And yet, for some reason, the one trying to save me is the very man who is incapable of mercy himself. David Sorero: She became my weakness and destroyed the last feelings I was capable of. Now she will have to answer for every one of her actions before the real Devil. But why does every meeting with her make me believe that things could be different?

Lizzy: The game is becoming more dangerous. If before I was only a pawn, now everything has changed. But will I be able to stay true to my love when I learn the whole truth about my past? Will I manage to preserve my feelings while my own demons are tearing me apart? David: I have become too human because of my feelings for this woman. “David Sorero cannot have weaknesses” — the one rule I broke, and it could have cost me my life. And now the distance between us is destroying everything that had just begun to grow before this game even started. Will we be able to endure the trial and save not only our lives, but our love as well?

Elizaveta: My fiancé loses at cards and, as payment, hands me over to a man who is whispered about as “the Devil.” Will I have the strength to survive this encounter—and take revenge on the man I once loved? David: From the moment I first saw her, I wanted her for myself. When that fool loses to me in poker, I choose her as my prize. And now there’s only one question: will I break her—or will I gain a woman who can stand as my equal?

Amanda: Seven years ago, he broke me—first making me believe in love, and then making me wish to destroy everything his hands had ever touched. He is the past… yet fate seems to have a cruel sense of humor, because today, I’m standing in front of him again. Adam: I’m looking at the woman I lost seven years ago because of my own fear—the woman I still love—and all I can see in her eyes is hatred. Have I really broken her so deeply that the girl from the pier is gone forever? Is it possible to find forgiveness for a terrible mistake made seven years ago? And does love still live in a heart shattered by fear?
