About the Book:

Stolen Heir continues Sophie Lark’s Brutal Birthright series with a gripping enemies-to-lovers romance that brings beauty and the beast into the brutal world of the Chicago mafia. Nessa Griffin, the youngest of the Griffin siblings, is too soft-hearted and compassionate for the dangerous world of crime her family dominates. Instead of taking part in the ruthless power plays, she finds solace in her ballet career, striving to prove herself in a cutthroat world where her gentle nature seems like a weakness.

But Nessa’s life is turned upside down when she is kidnapped by Mikolaj Wilk, the most feared and ruthless gangster in Chicago. Mikolaj’s life has been a constant struggle for survival. Rescued from the streets of Warsaw by his adoptive father, Mikolaj was raised in the brutal underworld, only to watch his father die at the hands of Nessa’s family. Now, driven by vengeance, he sees Nessa as the perfect tool for his retribution.

Held captive in Mikolaj’s decaying gothic mansion, Nessa finds herself at the mercy of a man whose heart is as cold as his plans for revenge. She’s caught in a dangerous world where innocence offers no protection, and the wolves devour the lambs without hesitation. Nessa’s quiet strength and beauty become both her shield and her downfall as she tries to survive in the face of Mikolaj’s fury.

However, as the days turn into nights, and Nessa remains in his grasp, Mikolaj becomes obsessed with his captive. Her delicate grace and untouchable innocence stir something inside him he thought long dead. He wants to control her, to possess her completely, forcing her to dance only for him. But as their shared moments of tension and intensity give way to a dark passion, both captor and captive find themselves caught in a web of conflicting desires.

Nessa, too, can’t deny the electric pull between them, even though she knows falling for the man responsible for her captivity is the ultimate betrayal. As she uncovers the tormented soul hidden beneath Mikolaj’s vicious exterior, she’s torn between her fear and the spark of something much more dangerous—an attraction she can’t seem to escape.

In a world where revenge rules and love is a deadly weakness, Mikolaj and Nessa’s twisted relationship hurtles toward a breaking point. Can she unlock the humanity in the beast before his hunger for vengeance consumes them both? Or will their forbidden love bring about their destruction?

Stolen Heir delivers a dark, addictive romance filled with dangerous power dynamics, searing chemistry, and an unexpected connection that defies all odds. Perfect for fans of mafia romance, enemies-to-lovers stories, and morally gray heroes, this novel will pull readers into a perilous dance of desire and retribution.

In this savage underworld, love might be the most dangerous weapon of all.
