There’s no mercy at the Ares Academy. Not for me. Named after the God of War, this college doesn’t teach math or literature. Students here are the monstrous offspring from the most powerful families in the world of organized crime, they come here to learn how to terrorize, murder, extort, and find their seat of power. My brother, the Pakhan of the Aslanov Bratva thinks I’ll be safe here? I have to survive this place. There’s nowhere else for me to go. Lucca Toscano is everything I’m not: strong, powerful, and courageous. He’s beautiful, but so angry. He can teach me how to thrive in this school for villains, if I can be brave enough to give him what he wants in return. If you love stories from Neva Altaj, Michelle Heard, and Sophie Lark, Lethal is perfect for you.

Preface
Lethal - A Dark College Bratva Romance is set in the brutal world of organized crime. These twenty-somethings are not messing around.
As such, there is violence, explicit sex between consenting partners, arranged marriages, kidnapping and oh, so much profanity. Additionally, there is a scene of attempted sexual assault and one of torture. Neither scene is explicit, particularly detailed, and they are brief. But it is extremely important to me that you are aware of and comfortable with the subject matter.
If these things are not to your taste, please find something that you might enjoy more, but I thank you for stopping by. Reading is meant to be a pleasure!
Still here? Excellent! Grab a glass of wine or a bag of Cheetos and let's get started. As always, thank you for reading and supporting my stories.

Prologue
“What are you doing?”
Konstantin, my roommate, kicked open our door, the way he always does, already pulling his sweaty shirt over his head.
I put my phone down. “Nothing.”
He throws his shirt at the hamper that housekeeping begs us to use for dirty clothes. He misses. How can such a lazy bastard be so gifted in ice hockey and soccer yet never hit the laundry basket? “Aleksandr and I are heading over to the lighthouse later, are you coming?”
The lighthouse.
The moldering stone edifice where our classmates go to get high and if they’re lucky, get laid. It’s always amused me because we can drink on campus, hell - they have a full bar in the dining room - and our suites are vastly more comfortable for fucking. Somehow, the allure of slabs of stone that can land on your head at any moment is too much to resist.
Still. “Maybe.”
“Yeah, hedge your bets,” he says dryly, pulling off his sweats and heading into the bathroom.
