A New Life Does Not Come Easy

Recently, Alexander got new documents, a new biography, a new appearance—essentially, a new life! And there is no room in it for anything from his previous life. There, his enemies remain, the endless struggle for survival continues—and there is also the woman he loves. But here’s the paradox: he needs her more than anything in the world, and yet he cannot be together with her. So there is only one thing left—forget her forever! Especially since a wealthy widow, Marina Verbitskaya, is orbiting him closely. Alexander understands that his strong, imposing exterior isn’t the only thing that attracts Marina. No matter how you look at it, a new life isn’t given for free!

This collection includes the novella “A New Life Isn’t Given for Free” and short stories.
