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.

“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

"Put me down, Godzilla!" Laney yelled, laughing as she beat Boris on the back.


He had swept her from the BMW, tossed her over his shoulder and strode into the mansion through the door, which was held open by one of their conveniently placed guards. He looked around and then strode in the opposite direction of their bedrooms. Laney twisted around on his shoulder trying to figure out where they were going, but her hair was falling in her eyes from the heated kisses he had given her in the back seat of the car.


He went slamming into a room she hadn't been in before but suspected was his office due to the heavy masculine desk and leather couch and chairs. He lifted her easily off his shoulder by the waist and clutched her to his chest, seeking her lips as though they had been denied him for too long. Laney shoved her hair out of the way and wrapped her arms and legs around him.
