Maxim: A dark Russian mafia romance standalone by Ava Summers

I’m a journalist. It’s my job to expose corruption. But what if the man I’m falling for is part of it? Maxim Petrov is sinfully sexy. Everywhere I go, there he is. He says he wants to protect me. Which is handy because my life is becoming more dangerous by the minute. The official line is that Max is a billionaire hotel developer. However, my research for the story I’m writing suggests otherwise. Honestly, if I had any sense, I’d walk away and never look back. Only… I can’t. When Max looks at me, I swoon. When he takes care of me, I melt. And when he tells me my place is at his side, how can I resist? If only I could ignore all those red flags… But we’re both hiding things. Secrets that could unravel at any moment. Secrets that could kill me. ---------- Maxim is a MF dark mafia romance with a HEA, no cliffhanger.
