One email at a time, in the order above — you can stop at any point, and nothing you have already downloaded goes away. We only use your address to send you The Secret Dossier and the occasional note when Valentina Rusk has a new book out.
Valentina Rusk writes darkly seductive mafia romance where love is a liability and loyalty is tested at gunpoint. Her stories unfold inside ruthless crime families bound by blood, debt, and unspoken rules, where desire is dangerous, trust is rare, and devotion can cost everything. Known for her emotionally charged slow burns, morally complex antiheroes, and heroines who refuse to stay powerless, Valentina explores what happens when control fractures and passion becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. Her romances are forged under pressure: hostage situations, arranged marriages, internal betrayals, and choices that pit duty against desire. Valentina’s worlds are rich with tension, private estates, candlelit dinners with enemies at the table, whispered threats behind closed doors, and her characters are forced to decide not just who they love, but what kind of future they’re willing to bleed for. When she’s not writing, Valentina is obsessed with winter settings, quiet power plays, and stories where love doesn’t save you, it changes you.
