                            Blurb:

Family runs deeper than blood...

From the moment she witnessed her parents' murder, Annika Petrov has vowed to protect only two things with her life: her little sister Sasha and the identities of those within the Circle. But when Sasha is kidnapped during a mission to assassinate the heir to the Morozov family, and rumors of a mole within the Circle send its leaders into utter panic, upholding the oath she made to the people who offered her a chance at revenge is the least of her worries.

Especially when she A.) finds herself at the mercy of Dimitri Vasiliev, the estranged son of the very man who orchestrated her parents' murder and a former Circle member gone rogue. And B.) Discovers that his father has plans to release a deadly virus that could wipe out all of Asia and Europe.

Despite having plenty of reasons not to trust him, Annika soon finds herself unable to leave Dimitri's side, in more ways than one. With an unsteady agreement based on common enemies, and a strong attraction that neither want to admit, Annika and Dimitri prepare for war.

The countdown has begun.

Only one question remains...

Can they survive the race for redemption and prevent total world destruction?

                          Author's Note

I can't believe I'm finally posting this story on here. I've been secretly working on a mature themed, adult romance mobster book for a few months, wondering how many of you would actually read it. I know I have yet to actually finish a story I begin, and I've determined that I'm going to make myself finish this story.

I really hope you guys will enjoy reading this as much as I love writing it. But while I have a few chapters written, I'm going to start from the very beginning and change a lot of what I have in my notebook, not that you guys know what's in it. Anyways, I'm  hoping to look forward to seeing your comments!

Updated: 19 February 2018

It has been a long while since I started this piece and I haven't posted anything other than this horrific Author's Note and the Prelude. Well as of today, I am restarting this project. New character names have been revealed in the blurb and the plot has been twisted quite a bit to fit what I now have in my imagination box. (It's literally a random box filled with small strips of paper with random ideas and short scenes written on them).

I will finish this story even if it keeps me up into the wee hours of the morning. But in order to complete it, I'm going to have to start all over again. Well, maybe not ALL over again, but I have already taken the Prelude down to edit it and add the specific changes to it. Also, this time around, I have decided to add a short playlist that sort of helped inspire me for this version of Redemption. Please if any of you still have a tiny bit of faith in me left, I would really appreciate some commentary and critique on my writing. I'm not a professional and will probably have to edit the storyline and characters many times throughout this journey. But it will be worth it, if you guys end up enjoying it.

Thanks for your time!
