But the evidence is beginning to fracture.
A forged mark, altered records, and carefully planted clues suggest that someone has been shaping Anya’s path from the shadows. Every answer uncovers another lie, and every discovery pulls her deeper into the dangerous heart of Maksim’s empire.
Maksim insists he is protecting her. Anya knows protection can become another kind of prison.
Yet behind his ruthless control are scars that connect him to the night she lost everything—and memories that challenge what she believes about him. As suspicion gives way to reluctant trust, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore.
Surrounded by hidden enemies, betrayals, and secrets buried for a decade, Anya must decide which is more dangerous: trusting Maksim Volkov or continuing to believe the story that brought her back to Moscow.
His Blood Oath: Part Two is an intense dark mafia romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, forbidden desire, dangerous secrets, a fiercely protective Bratva hero, and a heroine determined to uncover the truth.
