Scarlet Secrets (Yegorov Bratwa 1)

The tension between characters really kept me hooked, but I wonder what inspired the author to explore this trope within a mafia romance. Was it a deliberate choice to heighten the stakes?

The characters' trust issues and betrayals made me anxious, but also deeply invested. I'm curious if the author aimed for that intensity or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The details felt so authentic and layered; I wonder how much research went into creating this gritty, dangerous universe and whether real-life stories influenced it.
