New Release: Nobody Wants Me

It’s finally here ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Nobody Wants Me is NOW LIVE!!!

Are you ready to know what happens next?


Freya
All of my life I’ve been a burden. My father didnโ€™t love me. Hated the way that I looked. Spent all of his time trying to convince me to change. Brothers who bullied me. And a mother I never knew.

Marrying Victor Abdulov is the only truth I know. But, a past I didnโ€™t know about is going to get me killed. I hated my husband, until I fell in love with him. I never got to tell him, and now it is going to be too late.

Victor
I did not want a wife.

I did not want to fall in love.

I just wanted to be a Brigadier and serve Ivan Volkov. He had given me the chance to make shit right. But, my wife is so much more than I could have imagined, and I was a dick to her. I need to make it right. People are out to take her from me, and I am willing to follow her to the ends of the earth to keep her alive.

I didnโ€™t want her, now I donโ€™t think I can breathe without her. In vows, we always say, until death do we part, because we expect a lifetime togetherโ€”not a love that ends before we know it.

My stomach growled again, just as Victor turned, holding the tray of food.

โ€œBreakfast is ready.โ€

Iโ€™m not used to Victor being so โ€ฆ friendly. He seemed quite cheery and approachable. I didnโ€™t know if I wanted him to yell at me, so I could convince myself that he is in fact the same person.

Following him to the dining room table, I saw a bowl and a plate set up for each of us, complete with a fork, spoon, and a butter knife.

โ€œHave your pick,โ€ he said.

All I wanted was to sip my coffee. โ€œIโ€™ll just have some coffee to start.โ€

He nodded his head, then reached out and started to fill his bowl to the top, and even dome it with fruit. Before he even started eating the fruit, he took a slice of toast, some jam, and spread it thickly, taking a bite.

For me, I had a sip of my coffee, and the milk wasnโ€™t half bad. Was I seriously thinking in terms of the taste of milk, rather than the fact we had to come to a damn deserted island because people are going to kill me?

โ€œWhat happens if they kill me?โ€ I asked.

โ€œThey wonโ€™t.โ€

โ€œBut, I mean, if they do, does it just go away?โ€

Victor took another bite of his toast, and he looked at me a little sternly. I was not going to back down.

โ€œIf they kill you, then yes, in theory, it all goes away.โ€

โ€œCanโ€™t we just fake my death?โ€

Victor chuckled and I wasnโ€™t sure if he was entertained or not.

โ€œNo.โ€

โ€œWhy not?โ€

โ€œBecause we canโ€™t.โ€

I found that hard to believe.

Victor ate some more of his fruit, and my stomach rumbled so I reached for some to add to my bowl.

โ€œIf we attempted to fake your death, or if they even succeeded in killing you, there would be knock-on effects from it.โ€

This made me frown. โ€œHow? Itโ€™s not like Iโ€™m anyone important. Iโ€™m a complete and total nobody.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re now part of the Volkov Bratva. If anyone attempted to kill you or if they succeeded, it would show Ivan as weak.โ€

โ€œHow does it not show him being weak now?โ€ I asked.

โ€œBecause, while weโ€™re here, he is hunting down the ones who are willing to take the hit. There is going to come a point where people will realize to get to you risks death. Even if they kill you, Ivan will not stop until he kills everyone responsible. Your life is important,โ€ Victor said. โ€œThere is no way anyone is going to get away with killing you.โ€

โ€œYour life is important.โ€

Those words rang in my head. I couldnโ€™t believe what he had said. Was this even real? It didnโ€™t make any sense to me at all.

I felt a little sick. Tears filled my eyes. Iโ€™m not important. I had never been important. Iโ€™m the girl no one wants. I didnโ€™t want Victor to see me cry.

โ€œExcuse me.โ€

I donโ€™t know if he detected the croak in my voice, but I donโ€™t linger to speak to him. I just get to my feet and rush like crazy to get the hell out of there.

Taking a deep breath as I get outside. I exhale slowly. Then, I do the same all over again. Iโ€™m trying to stop the tears from falling, but today they are giving me some real trouble. All I want to do is sob. Only, I canโ€™t just do it. The outside and the beauty that surrounds me is breathtaking.

I clench my hands into fists.

โ€œWhy are you crying?โ€ Victor asked.

I spun around and sure enough, he is standing there.

How can he look so good now? I mean, I know my husband looked good, but back at our house, where he was dressed the role, he didnโ€™t seem quite so handsome. Also, he was showing more concern in the past half hour than he had just the past month and a half of our marriage.

โ€œIโ€™m not important,โ€ I said. โ€œIโ€™m nobody.โ€

He looked at me and then surprised me and took me into his arms. I had no idea what the hell was happening. Why was Victor hugging me? Why was I in his arms? It made absolutely no sense to me, and I tried not to freak out.

Only, I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my face against his chest. I held onto him, and I didnโ€™t want to let him go.

Bratva Volkov1

Blurb

Iโ€™m not beautiful or skinny.
Iโ€™m hated.
Always second best.

I was given to Slavik Ivanov, a deadly, fearsome man in the Volkov Bratva. Married into the world of the Bratva, I have to learn to survive. My husband doesnโ€™t pay me attention, but the longer he ignores me, the longer Iโ€™ll live.

Trouble is brewing in the Volkov Bratva. Itโ€™s dangerous, and I know itโ€™s only a matter of time before Iโ€™m killed because Iโ€™m the stranger. The enemy.

Slavik doesnโ€™t love me. Iโ€™m nothing more than a duty to him. Iโ€™m an obligation, but when he finally notices me, his touches set me on fire.

Does he know Iโ€™m loyal to him? Or will he believe the orchestrated lies and finally get rid of the wife he never wanted?

My life is in his hands, and I fear I will never be the same again.

Be Warned: anal sex

Excerpt:

I was already heading toward the pool. In the elevator, I rubbed at my temple. I hadnโ€™t slept in two days so far. Sleep rarely came to me. I had no trust in anyone around me, and right now between Caraโ€™s problem, and now the Italian one, there was no way I was going to relax.

You were killed if you let down your guard, and that was the last thing I was going to do.

The elevator went down to the level with the gym and the pool. I saw the sign posted, stating the pool was closed for the time being.

As I entered, I caught sight of my wife wearing a one-piece swimsuit. She had her arms crossed over the edge of the pool, and Sergei, as far as I was concerned, looked a little too cozy with my wife, which pissed me off.

Weโ€™d been married a little over five months, and as I watched them, I didnโ€™t like how close they seemed. Anger worked up my body as I stepped into view. The moment I did, the smile on Auroraโ€™s lips fell and Sergei stood.

He bowed his head to me. โ€œSir.โ€

โ€œYou can leave,โ€ I said.

He nodded. Without another look at my wife, he left the room. Alone with my wife, I saw Aurora move back into the water. We looked at each other.

She wasnโ€™t a stunning beauty, but there was a beauty there. Iโ€™d had my fair share of fake beauty. There was something about Aurora that called to me.

โ€œI didnโ€™t know you were coming home,โ€ she said.

โ€œYou never do.โ€

Again, small talk wasnโ€™t my strong suit.

โ€œIt would be wise of you not to flirt with my men.โ€

This had her frowning. โ€œI wasnโ€™t flirting.โ€

โ€œYou think I didnโ€™t see what you were doing?โ€

She looked to where Sergei had left. โ€œWe were just talking. Not everything between a man and a woman has to be about โ€ฆ sex.โ€

My cock twitched. I hadnโ€™t gotten the pleasure of enjoying my wife. Sheโ€™d moved toward the edge of the pool, and as she grabbed the side, I watched as she pulled herself out. I admired the curves of her body. The fullness of her ass. She grabbed a towel.

โ€œIf you continue to flirt with Sergei and give him the wrong message, I will kill him.โ€

She glared at him. โ€œI wasnโ€™t flirting with him. Heโ€™s my โ€ฆ friend.โ€

This made me laugh. I couldnโ€™t help it. Sergei wasnโ€™t a friend. None of my men were her friends, and if given the order, they would turn on her at a momentโ€™s notice.

What I didnโ€™t expect was the slap to the face. I captured her hand and pulled her against me. She began to wriggle, and with how close her body was, I had no problem with it. Not that Iโ€™d force her. Rape wasnโ€™t something I wanted to ever experience.

Staring into her eyes, I restrained her, making her pause with a single hand on her ass. I gripped her tightly, and tears filled her eyes.

โ€œDonโ€™t ever fucking do that again.โ€

โ€œWhy?โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t like being hit. I tend to hit back.โ€

โ€œThen donโ€™t accuse me of doing something I never did. I donโ€™t flirt. I wouldnโ€™t even know how.โ€

โ€œMy men know the rules. Youโ€™re a job to them, nothing more.โ€

She wore a good mask, but I saw my words had struck her hard. โ€œYou think I donโ€™t know that? Itโ€™s all I do know. Iโ€™m a job. Itโ€™s why I donโ€™t flirt. Now let me go, or is there something else you want from me?โ€

Her lips looked really tempting, but my anger was not in a good place. I released her, and without a backward glance, she left. The curves of her ass just begged for me to call her back and show her what real sex was all about. The two times Iโ€™d fucked her hadnโ€™t been real. It had been mechanical, a necessity and then a release. I wanted her again, but not tonight. I never allowed my hormones to take charge. I was the one who held control over myself, no one else.

Age Gap Bratva Volkov Crime My Work New Release

A Monster is Coming

Blurb

All I wanted was to be free, to not be scared anymore. Was that too much to ask?

I was the unwanted bastard daughter of Finn Byrne. Many feared him and women loved him. My mother didnโ€™t want me, but my birth kept Finn coming around.

After being used as a punching bag for most of my life, I decided to run. The first mistake I made was staying in a small town. The second mistake was falling in love with a guy I barely knew.

Peter lied to me. He manipulated me. Ivan Volkov gave him a job to do, and that was to make me fall in love with him, and get me pregnant. Well, he did all of those things, and I hate him for it, and I love him for it.

I also discovered Iโ€™m a wealthy woman. It would seem my grandmother didnโ€™t like her son, nor any of his offspring, but she did like me. Iโ€™m the one who has control over the Byrne empire.

And I have a choice to make.

When the time comes, I can choose to leave the Volkov Bratva forever and have my freedom, or I can remain Peterโ€™s wife. I love him, but he doesnโ€™t know how to love me.

What choice do I have?

Excerpt:

โ€œYou know, a lot of people are going to hate you,โ€ she said, smiling. โ€œSo, if you donโ€™t get hungover, do you forget things?โ€

โ€œI remember I kissed you last night.โ€

She stopped pouring cereal out and glanced over at me. I stared right at her, and I watched her cheeks go flush.

โ€œOh,โ€ she said.

โ€œDo you want to talk to me about that?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s fine. It was a mistake and you were drunk and it is never going to happen again. We donโ€™t have to talk about it.โ€

She was cute when she rambled.

โ€œIt wasnโ€™t a mistake.โ€

She jerked the cereal up, and several pieces spilled out of the top, landing on the table, and a few ended up on the floor. I made her nervous.

โ€œI, uh, I donโ€™t think we should talk about this.โ€

โ€œTalk about what? The fact that since I first saw you at the diner, Iโ€™ve been thinking about kissing you?โ€ I asked.

โ€œYou shouldnโ€™t say those things.โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t you like the truth?โ€

She pushed her chair back and took a step away. I got to my feet, and it didnโ€™t take me long to close the distance she was trying to create. Nor was it hard to manipulate her movements and have her pressed up against the door of the fridge, with no way to escape.

If, for even a second, I thought she was afraid, Iโ€™d back away. Iโ€™m not here to scare her. Iโ€™m here to โ€ฆ well, arouse her. To get this party started.

I couldnโ€™t waste more time with bounty hunters on the loose, potentially tracking her down. Putting both of my hands on either side of her head, I stared into her eyes.

โ€œPeter?โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s the matter? Are you afraid of me?โ€

โ€œI โ€ฆ no, Iโ€™ m not afraid of you.โ€

โ€œThen what is wrong?โ€

โ€œThere are other women who want you, and they will do anything you want.โ€

I close the distance between us, so that she could feel the hard ridge of my cock pressing against her stomach. โ€œNo other woman makes me feel like that.โ€ I had to stop playing the long game, and instead play the short game.

Ivan, for whatever reason, needed this woman pregnant. It was my job to get her pregnant, and training her, touching her, wasnโ€™t doing the trick. I could no longer attempt to flirt or take my time. I needed to get into her pants, fast.

โ€œPeter?โ€ she asked.

โ€œIs there another guy?โ€ I asked. โ€œIs that why you donโ€™t want me? There is someone else you want.โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know what to do with this. Iโ€™ve never been put in this position. I โ€ฆ Iโ€ฆโ€

She was struggling and that was when I realized something. Niamh didnโ€™t have a clue what was happening right now. Even though her father was Finn Byrne, and I had been under the assumption she knew exactly what was going onโ€”sex, fucking, making love, whatever word people wanted to call itโ€”Niamh didnโ€™t have a clue. I was attempting to seduce a woman whoโ€™d never experienced it. Did Ivan even know this?

I didnโ€™t know the extent of the abuse sheโ€™d suffered at the hands of her father. All I could do was make assumptions.

Sinking my fingers into her hair, I decided to just go for it, and I took possession of her lips, kissing her hard. She gasped, and I used that to my advantage, plunging my tongue into her mouth, and hearing her moan. She tasted like mint toothpaste. Sheโ€™d not even gotten to sip her coffee, and her cereal wasnโ€™t eaten.

Niamh smelled good, and she tasted good. I ran my other hand down her body, and knew she felt good as well.

My arousal wasnโ€™t forced. I wanted to be inside her. This was not going to be a hard task.

All too soon, Niamh pulled away and nibbled the corner of her lip. โ€œI donโ€™t know what to do,โ€ she said.

I think it could be the most honest she had ever been with me.

โ€œNormally, you kiss me back.โ€

โ€œI, uh, Peter, I โ€ฆ Pickle Quest is not my home. I donโ€™t intend to stay here too long.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re moving on?โ€

โ€œYes.โ€

โ€œWhen?โ€

โ€œI donโ€™t know.โ€ She frowned. โ€œI donโ€™t know, when itโ€™s the right time. Iโ€™m traveling, you know. Making enough to be able to move on.โ€

Now that was a lie, but I wasnโ€™t going to call her out on it. Niamh wasnโ€™t leaving Pickle Quest alone.

โ€œThen how about you and I have some fun while weโ€™re at it?โ€ I asked.

She shook her head. โ€œI canโ€™t have fun.โ€

I wasnโ€™t going to be swayed. Winking at her, I pulled her in and kissed her again.

Pre-Order: The Mistake

The Volkov Bratva book 3 is now available to Pre-Order, the links are below.

Blurb

I was the mistake.
A piece of trash.
No one wanted me.
All of my life Iโ€™d been told this. I meant nothing. I was nothing.

The Volkov Bratva made a mistake. They kidnapped me and it should have been my sister. My father wanted me dead. I expected Ivan Volkov to kill me. Instead, they killed my father, and now Iโ€™m to marry Ive Yahantov, a brigadier. Iโ€™m to be his wife. The man hates me. He doesnโ€™t want me.

I donโ€™t know what changes, but I go from being ignored, to being with Ive all the time. We share everything. The life I thought was only ever going to be that of a dream, becomes my reality. Iโ€™m falling for the man I thought I would hate. But nothing is ever certain. Ivan Volkov faked his death, and the repercussions of that is far and wide. My husband has enemies, and those enemies, theyโ€™ve come to collect.

I knew I was going to die young, but I had no idea life could be so cruel. I knew peace. I knew love. I knew happiness, and now, it was all going to be taken away.

Excerpt:

โ€œWhat the hell did you do?โ€ I asked.

She stood up, pushing her long brown hair out of the way. I loved her hair. She never had it cut. The length was glorious, and I couldnโ€™t wait to have it wrapped around my fist.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry,โ€ she said. โ€œI โ€ฆ I need to get out of this apartment.โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re not leaving this place.โ€

โ€œAre you trying to kill me, is that it? You hate me so much that you want me to do the deed myself or something?โ€ Her hands were clenched into fists.

This I wasnโ€™t expecting.

โ€œYouโ€™re not going to die.โ€

โ€œSeriously? Canโ€™t you see Iโ€™m dying already? Do you have any idea what itโ€™s like to spend every single day here, doing nothing?โ€ She yelled each word at me. โ€œBefore you I had a life. To many, it would have been boring, but I had a life. I enjoyed leaving and being free, but I canโ€™t even have that anymore. Your boss, or whatever the fuck he is, was here, and you know what, I was scared, because I donโ€™t know this way of life. I know youโ€™re part of the Bratva, but I donโ€™t even know if Iโ€™m supposed to say that. I didnโ€™t grow up in this life. Ugh, what is the point? You should have married my sister. Iโ€™m pretty sure you would have been far happier with her.โ€

โ€œAre you done?โ€ I asked.

โ€œWhy? Bored of being in this place already. Trust me. I know I am.โ€ She threw the cloth at me. โ€œAnd I donโ€™t care if youโ€™re pissed off that I damaged your precious wood. What kind of an asshole lives this high up?โ€

Iโ€™m stunned by her language, by her aggression, and most of all by just how aroused I am. I take a step toward her, then another. With her fear in place of the heights, she doesnโ€™t move, the line keeping her in place.

Sinking my fingers into her hair, I tug her close, not to hurt, but to guide. She gasped. Her hands went to my wrist. Her touch shouldnโ€™t do anything for me. I shouldnโ€™t enjoy it. There should be no happiness at having her hands on me.

When it comes to the opposite sex, Iโ€™m the one whoโ€™s always in control. They do my bidding. They are not permitted to touch me. But Adelaide is my wife. She is not like other women.

โ€œIf you want to play the victim, carry on, but Iโ€™ve told you exactly what you need to do in order to earn rewards.โ€

โ€œAre you being serious right now? You expect me to kiss you to get out of this place? To have a cell phone? To even go shopping?โ€ she asked.

I smiled. It wasnโ€™t a nice one, and she flinched away from me as I did so, but with the hold I had on her hair, there was nowhere for her to go. She was stuck with me.

Holding her close against me, I relished the feel of her curves. They were so soft and so close. She smelled good as well, like strawberries and cream. My mouth watered for a taste.

โ€œDo you think kissing me is so distasteful? Do you have any idea what I could have ordered you to do?โ€ I asked. โ€œI could make you go on your knees, take my dick between those fuckable lips, and choke on it. Force you to swallow every single drop of my spunk. Or I could have pounded your virgin pussy. Forced you to bleed over my dick for your first time. What about your asshole?โ€ I grabbed her ass, pulling her toward me. โ€œIf your pussy and mouth havenโ€™t seen a cock, then I bet your ass hasnโ€™t either. Forcing you to take me there, just so you could breathe fresh air. So, the next time you think Iโ€™m a monster, why donโ€™t you compare my request to the other things I could have forced you to do?โ€

โ€œI hate you.โ€

โ€œGet in line. Thereโ€™s a long list of women who hate me.โ€

This time, she fought against me. I could make her accept me. Kiss her. Make her give me my due. My dick hadnโ€™t seen a pussy in a long time, and I was well past due emptying my balls. With Adelaide, I didnโ€™t even need to use a condom. She was supposed to be getting pregnant with my kid, but that wasnโ€™t going to happen until I fucked her.

I let her leave and run away toward our bedroom. Iโ€™d give her a few minutes to gain her bearings, and then Iโ€™d seek her out. Annoying the fuck out of her was part of my plan. Hurting and raping her was not. Nor was terrifying her.

Some men couldnโ€™t handle facing off with me. Adelaide was just a woman. I should have gone easier on her.

I moved toward my office, removed my jacket, and threw it across the chair. The scotch called to me. I made my way over to the drink, poured myself a generous shot, and drank it straight down, enjoying the burn.

A memory of my father flashed through my mind. I couldnโ€™t have been much older than six or seven. My mother had asked me to go and grab the photograph album sheโ€™d left in his office. I had been a klutz back then, and as I lifted the heavy book, I knocked his bottle of vodka off the table. The glass had smashed. Heโ€™d entered as I tried to clean it up, and as punishment, heโ€™d grabbed the glass and slashed me right across the arm, three times. I was bleeding, heโ€™d punched me in the gut, and tossed me out into the cold. Three days later, the doctor had come to fix me up. Iโ€™d nearly died of infection.

Pushing the memory to the back of my mind, I put the glass down and made my way toward the bedroom.

Adelaide wasnโ€™t there. I heard the sound of the shower running, and I walked toward the door. Her clothes were on the floor, and I saw the outline of her body in the frosted glass. My dick hardened. She was my wife. Mine.

After removing my clothes, I eased them onto the floor and stepped toward the shower. Opening the door to the stall, I stepped inside and heard her gasp.

She wrapped her arms around her body and turned her back to me, but I was a man who liked a womanโ€™s ass, and the one she presented me with was sheer fucking perfection. Rounded, juicy, almost a little too big, but a generous handful.

I closed the door, moved in closer, and she stepped forward to try and keep some distance from me. There was nowhere for her to go. Reaching past her so that our bodies touched, I grabbed the soap.

โ€œWhat are you doing?โ€ she asked.

โ€œTaking a shower.โ€

โ€œI canโ€™t even have one of those alone anymore?โ€

I smiled, lathering up my hands with soap. โ€œTell me, Adelaide, do you want to live?โ€

โ€œWhat kind of question is that?โ€ she asked.

โ€œA real one.โ€

โ€œOf course I want to live. Who wouldnโ€™t?โ€

Putting my hands on her hips, I pulled her back against me. She was so damn tense. โ€œThen I will start to teach you tomorrow morning,โ€ I said. There wasnโ€™t much to teach, not really. Ivan liked to consider this new era of Bratva to be modern, thinking outside of the box, and making sure our enemies didnโ€™t have a fucking clue what to do.

Adelaide was too adorable to show disrespect, and I could imagine Ivan would find her cute as well. He wasnโ€™t a stickler for tradition unless he faced someone he hated, and then he made sure tradition was served.
