Book 2 in The After Another Trilogy ...  The past never stays where it belongs--why would it? It's the only thing left to warn about the future.  * Note: One Breath After Another is book 2 in the After Another trilogy. 

The streets of Toronto are controlled by a crime family like no other … Decadently wealthy, loyal only to their blood and name, and unchallenged in the business of la famiglia, meet the Guzzis. Five brothers, each a bit more dangerous and tempting than the last, take what they want without question. Every single time. They live by the oath. Love first.Duty second. And they'll kill for it, too. The Guzzi Legacy: Vol 2 includes the full-length novels Beni, Bene, and Marcus. The books are best enjoyed in order.

Tucked away deep in the hills of Dubna lives a man hiding from a past that's as grisly as the scar on his face. Reclusive. Paranoid. Violent. His trek to the top has been a bloody game—with a deadly end for anyone who loses. And it's not over yet. Vera Avdonin stumbled into the life of Vaslav Pashkov entirely by accident, and it should have stopped there, too. Just a broken ballerina who helped a beautifully tortured stranger. But she'll soon learn that like the mafiya he controls, once he brings you in, there is no way out. They don't call him The Beast of Moscow for nothing. *The Beast of Moscow is a slow burn, contemporary romance saga told over the course of several parts and encompassing more than one generation from start to finish. Only part of this is a love story; everything else hurts. TBOM—taking readers from Moscow to Paris while peeling back the beginning layers of Vaslav Pashkov—is part one. 

Marriages like these are made in trust ...  * Bethany-Kris, author of The Russian Guns, invites readers back to the world with The Marriage--Book 3 in The Darkest Lies Trilogy. A standalone trilogy with HFN endings following the same couple.
