Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new!
​
I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work.

Mine.

“You have always been worth my life. If you kill me now, I will follow you around in death as I would in life, until you decide to join me.”

Boris.

Russian mafia enforcer Boris Grekov knew the moment he set eyes on her that she would belong to him. If he had a lifetime he would spend it convincing her that they were inseparable. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the time. Exiled from Russia for more than a decade with a bounty on his head, he must now go back to reclaim his throne. He wants his woman at his side, whether she agrees to go or not.

Laney.

Born and raised an assassin, she must complete her job or lose the one thing she holds most dear. But every time she turns around he is right there, pursuing her, touching her, making her feel after a lifetime of emptiness. She will fight him with every breath in her body, because she cannot fall in love with the man she must ultimately murder.


Fire & Vice: Bound by Blood

"I need to see her," Boris explained as patiently as he could to the little gargoyle crouched protectively over her mother. "I must check to make sure she is still just sleeping peacefully and that her injuries are not worse than they look."


"No!" The little demon hissed at him, looking as though she would launch herself at him if he dared take another step closer to her sleeping mother, despite weighing a solid 300 pounds less than him. If Boris weren't so annoyed at her interference he would be impressed with her fierce protectiveness.


He reached for as much patience as he could, which admittedly wasn't much considering his experience with five year olds ranged in the zero category. "Can you explain to me why you do not want me examining your mother, baby kotenok?" he asked in as soothing a voice as he could manage.


"Because I don't know if you are the evil Mothra or the maybe okay Godzilla," she announced imperiously. "So just stay away. I can take care of mama."
