The Bodyguard's Sacrifice
(2026)(The second book in the Bratva Vows series)
A novel by Leighton Grace
I fell for my bodyguard. The enforcer assigned to protect me until my arranged marriage.
I've always known my fate in the Bratva.
Marry whoever they choose. Become a bargaining chip. Never question.
I accepted it.
Then Maksim Sokolov was assigned as my protection.
Max is the kind of man who makes other killers nervous. Cold. Deadly.
But forced proximity revealed something unexpected.
He taught me chess. Quoted philosophy at dawn. Looked at me like I was more than a transaction.
Protection became obsession. Duty became desire.
For four stolen months, I believed in a future beyond the life I was born into.
Then my engagement was announced. To a brutal man from a powerful family. A marriage that would destroy any future I dared to imagine.
Now Max has an impossible choice: watch me marry a monster or gamble my life on an escape that might get us both killed.
The Bodyguard's Sacrifice is Book 2 in the Bratva Vows series, but it's a prequel to Book 1.
New readers: Start with The Enforcer's Vow (Book 1). You'll meet Nadia helping Dimitri and Vera escape—then you'll understand why her backstory in Book 2 hits so hard.
Returning readers: You've been waiting for this. Now you'll see how Nadia ended up in that marriage and who she's been waiting for all along.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
