Welcome to Litsy!

A comatose broken with a single, deadly kiss. Once upon a dream... Heavy were the eyelids of the woman who reigns alone. I've been in a coma for the past three years after an accident left me unconscious and widowed. I'm in a sleep so deep, it cannot be broken... until one day, I feel a brush of soft lips against mine. In my groggy state, I wake up to a pair of dark eyes and a sinister smile. Now, I've returned to my old life. I'm your neighborhood hot mess single mom who keeps her nose in everyone's business. My husband was the FBI director, and I was one of his agents. We were part of an operation, and now, caught in the crosshairs, I've returned to finish the case of the most dangerous man in New York City. My case is the Tyrant. Alexander Nikolaev, the Pakhan of the Russian Bratva. They say all great love stories have happy endings, but mine has already ended in a tragedy.... and yet he's awakening something in me that's dark. Kill him or kiss him, I can't decide. I'm getting ensnared in his trap. If I don't entangle myself from his wicked power-I, Ghislaine Khalil, just might end up losing my life. Then no one can sever those threads. Welcome to New York's Underworld. Loosely based on the fairytale Sleeping Beauty. From the author of the bestselling Beauty & The Beast series comes an enemies to lovers crime noir standalone romance carved in hate and lies.
