I accused the wrong man… and a Bratva monster answered by kidnapping me and forcing me to become his wife.
Karik Tarasov is everything I was warned about.
Older. Ruthless. Untouchable.
A Bratva enforcer who doesn’t just silence threats—he keeps them.
Now I wear his ring. Sleep in his bed. Live under his control.
All because I said his name out loud.
I thought I was exposing a corrupt conviction.
A lie hidden behind perfect evidence.
What I didn’t realize?
Karik was the one who helped create it.
He should’ve buried me with the truth.
Instead, he dragged me into his world—claiming it was to protect me.
‘Congratulations, Eliza,’ he murmurs, his hand tight on my chin.
‘You belong to me now.’
It’s supposed to be temporary.
A forced marriage to keep his enemies in line.
But nothing about the way he touches me feels temporary.
Not the way his grip lingers like he’s already addicted.
Not the way his voice darkens when I defy him.
Not the way my body betrays me every time he gets too close.
I fight him.
I hate him.
I crave him.
Because the more I uncover, the worse it gets—
the lies, the power, the blood on his hands.
And the terrifying truth?
I’m no longer sure I want to escape.
But when his enemies take me to use me against him,
they make a fatal mistake—
They think I’m his weakness.
They have no idea…
I’m the reason he’ll burn everything to the ground.
And Karik Tarasov doesn’t stop until there’s nothing left but ashes.
This is a scorching standalone Bratva romance featuring enemies to lovers, an age gap, kidnapping, and a forced marriage to a ruthless antihero who doesn’t let go. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and an ultra-hot, possessive HEA guaranteed.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
