Safe In His Arms : Arms of Love Series Book 1 (Dark Mafia Romance)
About
I’m Keira Abeba Donovan, a 32-year-old African American lawyer navigating life in the glitzy chaos of Sin City. Growing up wasn’t easy. My father worked tirelessly while my mother struggled with alcohol, making our two-parent home feel like a battleground. I harbor resentment towards my mother for the turmoil she brought into our lives, while my father, ever forgiving, has a different perspective.
Safety was a foreign concept to me, even in the arms of my ex, Jamal Rivers. His emotional abuse and infidelity left scars that are slow to heal. After three years of solitude, my world shifts dramatically when my boss, Mr. grant Kuznetsov, a 45-year-old Russian powerhouse, reveals he’s harbored feelings for me over the last five years. I never saw him that way before, but his tall, tattooed, muscular frame--six feet five inches of pure allure --- has recently begun to captivate me.
Our love story unfolds against the backdrop of a high-stakes legal battle with Maxim Orlov, a 40-year-old influential client and old friend of Grant. Their fraught history, marred by Grant’s betrayal involving Maxim’s ex-fiancee, stirs a storm of conflict and intrigue. As the case intensifies, I find myself entangled in a web of danger and desire, caught between the escalating legal drama and my complicated feelings for both men.
Adding to the chaos is my past --- Jamal’s lingering shadows and the looming threat of the Zharkov crime family, with their nefarious plans for Maxim’s casino project. With the stakes higher than ever, my feelings for Grant and Maxim reach a boiling point. Only one of them offers me the safety I’ve been craving. In the midst of the chaos, I’m searching for love and genuine security
