NIKOLAI II
By Roxie Rivera
NIKOLAI II (Her Russian Protector #6)
Claimed and cherished by Houston's most ruthless mob boss, artist Vivian Kalasnikov
embraces her new position as Nikolai's wife and the lonely, dangerous role as queen of Houston's
underworld. But Nikolai is keeping secrets from her, and the whispers of a coming street war leave
her terrified for the man she so passionately loves—and the tiny life growing inside her.
Nikolai finally has everything he's ever wanted—power, wealth and a family with Vivian, the
beautiful sun who lights up his dark life. But as his young wife prepares for her debut on the
international art stage, he finds himself drawn into a bloody conflict that threatens the quiet life he's
painstakingly built. He can feel the promise of his future happiness slipping through his fingers like
grains of sand.
One wrong move, and he'll lose Vivian and his child forever. One wrong move, and he won't
see another sunrise.
The sins of their fathers have come back to haunt Vivian and Nikolai. To protect his beloved
wife and his heir, he'll do absolutely anything. The brutal gangster who violently conquered the
streets of Moscow and Houston is about to be unleashed—and Houston's underworld will never be
the same again.

"Where are we going?" My gaze darted from the windshield to the strong, proud profile of my
husband's handsome face. The pale blue glow from the dashboard lights highlighted all the features I
loved so much. Unable to help myself, I reached across the short distance between us and trailed my
finger along the scar on Nikolai's jaw. My fingertip traced the curving line of his chin and dipped into
the shallow cleft there.
"It's a surprise,
zolota."
He cast a sinfully sexy smile my way, and my core trembled wildly.
The realization that this smile was mine and mine alone did crazy things to my heart. With everyone
else, he maintained that impenetrable wall. Others were met with a coldness that chilled to the bone
with a single, sharp glance.
But not me. Never me. With me, Nikolai was warm and loving because I was his
solnyshka
and
his
zolota—his
sun and his gold.
"You said you don't like surprises." I tapped his lower lip, and he responded by playfully
nipping at my finger and making me giggle.
"I don't, but it's different when it's a surprise for you."
"Why?"
"Because it simply is." He turned his head and kissed my palm before turning his attention to the
wet highway that he deftly navigated. Rarely did Nikolai drive us anywhere. For security reasons, he
usually preferred to let Kostya, Sergei or Danny handle that rather mundane duty. Tonight was special
for some reason. He had even chosen to drive the Continental coupe that he babied so much.
"Did you enjoy the opera?" He grasped my hand and interlaced our fingers.
"I did." That morning he had surprised me with tickets to a performance and instructions that I
was to be ready to leave the house by six. After a quick shopping trip with Erin and Bianca, I had
popped in to see Holly Phillips at her salon so she could work her magic.
"I'm glad." He lifted my hand and kissed the back of it. "What did you think of dinner? If you
didn't enjoy the private dining at the theater, we can visit one of the restaurants in the Theater District
the next time. We won't have a problem getting a table."
No, we definitely wouldn't. That was one of the perks to Nikolai owning one of Houston's finest
and most popular restaurants. He had contacts at all the hottest places in town. "I enjoyed the dinner
and dessert at the theater, but I enjoy trying new places."
"Then I will make different arrangements for our next night out." He rubbed his thumb in a slow
circle along the back of my hand.
The idea of having a regular date night with Nikolai filled me with such happiness. Before our
rather rushed wedding, we hadn't had a chance to date like a normal couple. A crazed psychopath, an
