The Pakhan's Dangerous Secret
(2026)(A book in the Sins of the Bratva series)
A novel by Ariana Cooper
I spent nine years hiding from the Bratva
a ghost no one was supposed to find.
Until he walked into my library
and looked at me like I already belonged to him.
Andrey Sokolov. Bratva Pakhan.
Older. Ruthless. He takes what he wants.
He’s hunted my father for years
for a massacre, for buried secrets,
for something powerful enough to start a war.
Now he thinks that something is me.
I deny it.
He doesn’t care.
So he takes me.
Locks me in his fortress,
watches me like I’m already his,
and decides I’m not leaving.
He wants the truth my father is hiding.
The closer he gets
the more I realize I was never just running
I was part of something dangerous.
I should fight him.
I should stay away.
Instead I let him touch me.
Big mistake.
Because weeks later
I’m carrying the Pakhan’s child.
Now I’m caught between enemies who want me dead
and a man who refuses to let me go.
In his world, secrets don’t stay buried
they become something he owns.
My father’s secrets made me a target
his obsession makes me a prize.
And I don’t know what he’ll do first
claim me
or ruin me for the truth in my blood.
Author’s Note: A dark, emotionally intense Bratva romance featuring kidnapping, forced proximity, possessive hero, age gap, hidden secrets, and pregnancy. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
