(2026)(The second book in the Markov Bratva series)
A novel by Zoya Carter
SIENNA
One overheard conversation. One forced marriage. One private island I can't escape.
I survived a car crash that should have killed me. Rebuilt my life from nothing. Then my new boss destroyed it all in a single afternoon.
My brother-in-law Maxim Markov hired me as his PA. I thought it was my fresh start. Then I overheard something I shouldn't have.
Now he says marrying him is the only way to keep me safe. But protection looks a lot like a prison when you’re kept on a private island with him alone.
Maxim is everything I should fear—ruthless, controlling, soaked in violence. He looks at me like I'm a possession he'll kill to keep.
I should hate him for kidnapping me. For forcing me into marriage. For stealing my freedom.
Instead, I'm terrified by how much I crave his touch. How he sees past my scars to something extraordinary.
He took everything from me. So why does surrendering feel like finally coming alive?
MAXIM
She overheard the wrong conversation. Now she's mine forever.
She became a liability the moment she heard my secrets. An obsession the moment I couldn't stop thinking about her. Mine the second they tried to take her from me.
So I did what I do best. I removed every obstacle. Her apartment. Her choices. Her freedom.
She calls me a monster. But I'm the monster who will take a bullet for her. Burn the entire world before I let anyone hurt her.
She fights with fire in those green eyes. Demands her freedom. Perfect.
I want her exactly as she is—fierce, brilliant, and mine.
The villain always gets the girl in the end. I'm never letting her go.
Genre: General Fiction
