Lani Lynn Vale crafts a perfect blend of romance, suspense, and chemistry in Hey Daddy, the second book in the Semyonov Bratva series. This gripping story features a single dad and a heroine with a fiercely protective family.

Detective Haze Hopkins has grown jaded from years on the force, but everything shifts when Nastya Semyonov steps into his life. Their instant connection ignites into something undeniable, but danger follows when authorities wrongly accuse Nastya of a crime. As the lead detective, Haze finds himself caught between duty and love, forced to treat the woman he knows is innocent as a suspect.

Vale masterfully builds tension, unraveling the case at a pace that keeps the pages turning. She seamlessly balances swoony moments with high-stakes action, ensuring the romance remains just as compelling as the suspense. Nastya’s strength, vulnerability, and wit make her a heroine to cheer for, while Haze’s protective nature strengthens their connection. The Semyonov family injects humor and warmth, lightening the intensity without diminishing the stakes.

Set in Dallas, Texas, Hey Daddy delivers passion and plot twists in equal measure.

If you love protective heroes, strong heroines, and love stories that thrive in chaos, this book belongs on your shelf. Hey Daddy should already on your TBR, so prepare to be hooked. If not, add it today!
