Maya Verma hates me.
Good.
Hatred is safer than wanting me.
She’s my best friend’s innocent daughter.
I’m her father’s former best friend.
A ruthless Bratva capo.
And the man she’s been warned never to trust.
Then someone comes for her.
I take her.
Lock her down.
Keep her close.
She fights me every step of the way.
My beautiful little rebel thinks she can escape my world.
She’s wrong.
Every glare makes me want her more.
Every trembling breath tests my control.
And when she finally stops fighting my touch…
My control shatters.
She melts against me.
Hates how safe she feels in my arms.
Hates how her body betrays her.
I should let her go.
I don’t.
Because Maya is mine.
Then her father disappears. Secrets surface.
And the truth about our families threatens to tear everything apart.
The woman who once wanted me dead is suddenly wearing my ring.
My name. My protection.
And every enemy in the Bratva knows exactly what that means.
Touch my wife, and you die.
She thinks this marriage was forced. She thinks I stole her freedom. Maybe I did.
But she hasn’t learned the most dangerous truth yet.
I may have forced Maya to become my wife… but nothing on earth will ever force me to let her go.
For readers who love: ruthless Bratva heroes, forbidden father’s-best-friend romance, massive age gaps, enemies to lovers, forced marriage, kidnapping, forced proximity, innocent virgin heroines, possessive alpha males, protective heroes, dangerous family secrets, steamy tension, and a ruthless man who would burn his entire empire to protect his wife. HEA guaranteed. Kindle may melt.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
