Vulnerate (East Coast Bratva #3)

Daniela Carvalho was given one warning before she was allowed entry to the Vartanovs family home: stay away from Valentin. But stolen glances turned into late-night confessions, and one reckless mistake changed everything.

Years later, he’s no longer just the boy she fell for. He’s colder, harder, and carrying a grudge she doesn’t fully understand. But when their paths cross again, she can’t escape her first love.

Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but the truth sets it ablaze.

Valentin may be hardened by power and danger, but he still wants her. The girl he promised himself he’d never let go, and then let slip through his fingers.

Cruelty is his armor, fear is his weapon, and love is reserved for his son. His childhood dreams resurface as he watches the only woman he’s ever loved with his son he’ll die to protect.

Falling for his brother’s best friend was never part of his plan, neither was getting her sister pregnant. But she’s back and he refuses to let her go.

Their ties are messy, complicated, and dysfunctional.

She was always meant to be his wife—the mother of his children—not their aunt.
