The Ruthless Russian Mob series by Aria Ray is a bratva romance collection featuring Russian mafia heroes. The series started in 2021 with three books released back-to-back, followed by a fourth book in 2022.
Each book follows a different member of the organization. The titles hint at the dark themes: Collateral Deceit involves being used as leverage, Secret Target puts a heroine in danger, Surrogate Betrayal deals with pregnancy tropes, and Illegal Justice brings themes of revenge and retribution.
The series established Ray as a mafia romance author before she expanded into MC romance. Readers who enjoy bratva heroes and morally gray storylines will find what they’re looking for here.
