Hopeless Creatures (Fallen Empire #1)

One bullet. One choice. One moment that damns them both.

I should have kept walking when I heard gunshots echoing through the hazy backstreets of Downtown NYC.

I should've run when I found him bleeding out in the alley, fingers wrapped around the silver frame of a gun.

Instead, I knelt in his blood and staunched his wound with my own hands.

I chose to save him, even if it made me an accomplice to a crime I don't understand.

That's the dangerous thing about this city. One wrong turn can wrap you up in a web you were never supposed to find, and men like him don't entertain loose strings.

But hopeless creatures have nothing left to lose.

And some love stories begin with a bullet buried in a chest.

For fans of dark mafia romance, morally grey men, and dangerous obsessions, this story will leave you breathless.

This is a dark Bratva standalone romance featuring a badass FMC who overcomes her own trauma, a yearning MMC who owes his life to her, and a vibrant criminal underbelly beneath it all. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating.
