From Russia With Claws

by Jacey Conrad

  She protested weakly when he slid out of her. Andrey chuckled and she pulled far enough away so she could see his face. She felt a bone deep exhaustion settle over her, but she didn’t want to let him go.

  “I imagine that this is similar to what I looked like in the car after the ballet,” he murmured, his lips curving up in a fond smile.

  “дьявол,” she whispered. She’d called him a devil in Russian.

  “Сладкая,” he replied. “I love you.”

  From Russia with Fangs

  IRINA SUDENKO VOLKOV just wanted to escape this godforsaken Sweet Sixteen with a little dignity. But between her vicious husband, Sergei, nailing a cocktail waitress in the hotel kitchen and her drunken father setting up a pity slow dance with his bodyguard, Viktor, dignity doesn’t seem to be in the cards.

  A long, happy marriage to Sergei is also off the table. He is shot down by an unknown assassin while walking out of the party. Such is life when your adoptive father is one of the most powerful werewolves within Seattle’s supernatural organized crime syndicate.

  Viktor Zhukovsky, a strong Beta wolf assigned to her father’s security detail, shields Irina from the bullets and guards her through the aftermath. Sergei’s death sparks big changes in the Sudenko family, with her power-mad eldest brother, Alexei, attempting to grab more of Papa’s criminal empire for himself. Her badass baby sister, Galina, also works to secure a “seat at the table,” an unprecedented feat for a werewolf female.

  Viktor is assigned to Irina’s security detail until her husband’s killer is found. Their initial chemistry gives way to a deeper attraction as Viktor learns that Irina is more than a pampered princess and Irina sees the decency underneath Viktor’s gruff, tattooed exterior. Their tendency to find themselves semi-nude and in enclosed spaces is a source of amusement to Galina, but each of them knows of the deadly consequences if their relationship was brought to light.

  Papa Sudenko—attempting to smooth over tensions between the families—begins to match-make Irina and Andrey Lupesco, an up-and-coming Alpha in the Rom contingent, who also happens to be in a secret relationship with Galina.

  With Alexei’s agenda unfurling in its full insane force, Irina’s happiness and Galina’s life are put in danger. Irina has always been the good daughter, the peacemaker, but she’s coming to understand that staying quiet could keep her under her family’s thumb. As the only human surrounded by werewolves, Irina has to learn how to howl.
