Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Walking Red Flag is book 3 in the Semyonov series and features Milena! Milena owns a coffee shop and is happy living her low key lifestyle. Then she meets Cutter, who intercedes when her boyfriend tries to kill her. There is one heck of a meet cute!

Milena has the ever present, overbearing brother (Shasha) who feels he failed her years ago because he was unable to stop her attacker. Now, that event is coming back to haunt them. Cutter is part of the Truth Teller MC and quickly falls for Milena. He has his own experience with men who prey on women, and he won’t let that happen to Milena. So, he and Shasha hatch a plan for a fake marriage-but is it fake if both the bride and groom want it to last forever? There is a lot of tension and action to keep you engaged (Milena truly has some horrible people in her life). Cutter and Milena have a beautiful relationship that will make you swoon hard. I’m very excited for Dima’s book!
