About this book

Arianna Fraser’s Lord of Pain is a dark romance centered on Roman, the Vor of the Morozov Bratva. He believes his path leaves no room for a family life: his world is defined by enemies, power, and desires he sees as far outside what an ordinary woman would want. While his brother Dmitri has found marriage and children, Roman expects to remain alone.

That certainty shifts when he notices Violet after she slips into his club in a purple dress, trying to hide her shock at everything around her. Roman quickly learns what brought this innocent young woman into such a dangerous place, and once he steps into her life, he has no intention of letting her go. Violet knows he rescued her, but she does not yet understand how completely he means to claim her.
