Filthy Lies

The second book in Nicole Fox’s bestselling Akopov Bratva duology, where a steamy office romance unfolds between Rowan St. Clair and her dangerously seductive boss, billionaire bad boy CEO Vincent Akopov, continues as their enemies target their unborn child, forcing them to do whatever it takes to protect their unconventional family.

Rowan married her boss. She got pregnant by her boss. Things had gotten complicated.

Rowan and Vince had always done things slightly...unconventionally.

Most meet-cutes didn’t involve walking in on your boss while he was getting frisky. Then getting pregnant by said boss...when he was supposed to be marrying someone else. It turned out that was just the warm-up. Because marriage to the mob boss had changed everything.

The Vince she had fallen for had been all dominant commands and filthy promises. Now, he was overprotective. Paranoid. Treating her like she was made of sugar and spice and everything nice. But Rowan was no longer that innocent little assistant.

The boardroom where he used to bend her over his desk? Now, it was where she sat beside him. The penthouse where he whispered dirty things in her ear? Now, it was where she whispered back—and he listened.

When enemies targeted their unborn baby, Vincent reverted to his old ways. So Rowan did what any self-respecting mafia wife would do: She reminded him exactly who he had married. And when their enemies made the mistake of kidnapping her while she was in labor? They were about to find out, too.

Filthy Lies is the second book in the mafia romance duology Akopov Bratva. Vince and Rowan’s story begins in Filthy Promises.
