A Cinderella tale with guns and a Russian fairy godfather

My foster sister is missing, and the men who kidnapped her have turned their sights on me.

I'm running, but I can't hide forever. Sleeping rough on the streets of London is dangerous, but going back means death. I've seen their faces. I know their secrets. And I have enough evidence to destroy them.

When I'm followed, I run again—straight into the path of a bullet meant for a handsome stranger.

He’s an arms dealer with ties to the Russian mafia. He says he'll protect me. He says he'll kill for me.

His name is Kolya Barinov, and this is the beginning of our story.

The Runaway & The Russian is a slow-burn age-gap romantic suspense packed with mafia danger, found family, emotional damage, and a hero who would raze the world to keep his girl safe.

My marriage was supposed to protect me. I never expected to fall in love.

What began as a convenient arrangement has become something real. I love Kolya Barinov, but his need for control clashes with every part of me. He may be a boss, but I refuse to be ruled.

The police interviews are brutal. The images of my foster sister’s remains are burned into my memory. I need Kolya’s strength now more than ever, but he’s carrying scars of his own. And when Kolya swears vengeance, the consequences are always lethal.

I want our marriage to survive. I want him. But some shadows don’t back down quietly… and I’m done waiting patiently in the dark.

The Runaway in Love is a dark age-gap, dark romantic suspense with spice, emotional suspense, and a heroine learning how to fight for her voice.

Safety was an illusion, and I won’t make the mistake of trusting it again.

I had everything I ever wanted: a family, a worthwhile career, and a home filled with warmth and love... until my safe little world came crashing down around me.

I’d become complacent, relying on my husband and his guards to shield us from danger. Not anymore.

Threats can come from anywhere, and I’ve learned the hard way that friendship and love are not always as they seem.

Whether terrorist, friend, or foe, I’ll fight to the death to protect those I love.

Kolya kept us away from all things Bratva, but I’d dance with the devil himself to keep my daughter safe.

The Runaway’s Ruin is an age-gap, dark romantic suspense with spice, emotional suspense, and a heroine who will burn the world to keep her child safe.

A love born in fire always leaves something burning
The past few months have taken their toll. Guilt and grief weigh heavy on my soul. Yet Sicily feels safe, and the Mafia don’s protection extends further than the pretty Italian island.
Everyone thinks my nightmares are over, but not Franco. He’s my guard, my trainer, my friend, and he’s been there for me in ways I never imagined.
But my life is a lot like Mamma Etna, spewing out fire when you least expect it.
My father-in-law kept his promise, and what first brought joy has me living in fear. Because it’s true what they say: there’s a fine line between love and hate.

I should have known, should have listened when a friend tried to warn me. Now it might be too late.
Will I ever find my happy ever after? Or will loving a Barinov end me?
