A Beauty & the Beast / Romeo & Juliet dark romance.
Vasily Baranov.
The Bratva boss’s brother.
Cold. Brutal.
Haunted by demons I don’t understand.
He’s everything I should fear.
And now, for two weeks, I belong to him—payment for my brother’s debt.
He’s my captor.
The first man to see me as more than a bargaining chip.
The only one who might save me.
From the Mafia.
From my brother.
From an arranged marriage I can’t escape.
If I run, I won’t survive.
If I stay, I don’t know if I can heal him.
But with Vasily, I have a choice.
I have free will.
Something I’ll never have again if he lets me go.
So I’ll sink to any depth to force him to keep me.
It’ll save us…or destroy us.
But at least we’ll be free.
