Born into Darkness (Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy #5)

She’s my light in the darkness.

Maxim:

Kidnapped, tortured, and chained to a wall…

It’s not at all how I imagined meeting the love of my life.

Music has always been my passion,

but as soon as I see Talia Medvedev, I know things have changed.

I become obsessed, and instead of the familiar black-and-white keys, it’s her body I want to play—her moans, the beautiful music I want to hear.

She quickly becomes my reason for breathing, and I’ll do anything to protect her,

even if that means making the biggest sacrifice of my life.

Talia:

Scared, filthy, and chained to a wall

it’s not the meet cute I’ve always envisioned for myself,

but there’s no denying how I feel about my grey-eyed fellow prisoner,

the man with the gorgeous hands—long fingers built for playing the piano that I know could work my body just as beautifully.

He may be a dangerous Bratva boss,

but he makes me feel safe, gives me his food and water,

and holds my hand so I can sleep.

He becomes my protector,

and when our captors force an impossible choice—my innocence or his hands—he chooses me.

It’s a sacrifice I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to repay…a sacrifice I hope we can both survive.
