Love Me, Don't Fix Me

This is Nikolai and Elara’s daughter, Nova’s love story from Love me or Break me.

--------------

Eighteen, unfiltered, and painted in chaos—Nova Volkov doesn’t follow rules. She rewrites them.



Daughter of Elara, the design queen, and Nikolai, the Bratva legend, Nova is a storm in designer boots with a paintbrush in one hand and sarcasm on her tongue. She’s untouchable. Unapologetic. Unhinged. And absolutely adored—especially by her mafia father, who gifted her an art gallery under someone else’s name. Because, you know, privacy.



Then she meets Andrew.



A quiet barista with kind eyes and a tragic past, Andrew is everything Nova isn’t—soft, gentle, real. He doesn’t care about her last name. He just wants to design beautiful spaces and breathe without looking over his shoulder.



She falls. Hard.



But just when Nova thinks she’s found something untouched by her bloodstained world, the truth surfaces:

Andrew’s parents died in a fire set by none other than her father.



Now he can’t look at her without seeing flames.

And she can’t look at herself without feeling like the villain.



Can love survive the sins of a family?

Or will the fire that brought them together… tear them apart?
