The Bratva Stalker and His Innocent Hostage Bride
(2026)(The third book in the Gromov Bratva series)
A novel by Maree Fox
Rule #1 of hacking the Bratva: Don’t get caught.
Rule #2: Don't let their cold, dangerous enforcer realize you're a virgin.DAVINA
I only did it because the agency swore I’d be safe.
Break into the Gromov network, extract the data, walk away. They lied.
Maxim Gromov is forty years of pure, cold discipline—and he traced the breach straight to my bedroom.
Now I’m locked inside his mansion, a hostage caught between a dark empire and the government handlers who left me behind.
I expected a monster. Cruelty. Interrogations in the dark. Instead, I get a towering Russian in dark tailored suits who looks at my curves like I’m his to devour, and watches my every breath like I already belong to him.
MAXIM
Someone tried to burn my empire. Instead of a hardened operative, I found a sharp-tongued virgin with curves made to break a man’s control.
She thinks she’s a temporary hostage while her handlers negotiate her release. She’s wrong.
Her agency betrayed her the moment things went wrong.
But nobody steals from me, and nobody touches what’s mine.
The longer she stays in my house, the less she fights the cage—and the more I’m willing to burn down the city to keep her inside it.
They think they’re coming to rescue her. They’ll have to tear through me first.
Curvy Virgin Hacker × Stalker Bratva Enforcer. A steamy standalone dark mafia romance featuring a possessive age-gap romance (40/23), forced proximity, hostage dynamic, "touch her and die" protective energy, and guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
