Carrying the Bratva's Secret Heir
(2026)(The first book in the Zolotov Bratava series)
A novel by Cora J Riley
She was hired to steal from him. She ended up carrying his secret.
Mira Vass is very good at her job. Corporate infiltration, document retrieval, getting in and out before anyone notices — seven years, never caught. She walks into Zolotov Capital as Miriam Vassall of Kelmore Partners, cover story airtight, extraction plan clean.
Then Casimir Zolotov takes the meeting personally.
He's the Pakhan of the most dangerous Bratva operation in Scotland, and he looks at her like a balance sheet he hasn't reconciled yet. He asks questions that are just slightly too accurate. He doesn't say anything about the fact that something's off.
He just watches. And waits.
Mira has three days before he works it out. She doesn't get three days. She gets a dinner invitation, a counter-intelligence operation against her own facilitator, and a man who buys a spare toothbrush on a Tuesday because he was factoring things in.
She doesn't get out.
She doesn't want to.
Carrying the Bratva's Secret is a full-length dark romance featuring a sassy heroine who cannot stop talking, an icy Pakhan who expresses affection via threat assessment, and an Edinburgh autumn that gets significantly warmer than advertised. Explicit content, dark themes, pregnancy romance, and a man who says I love you with the same precision he says everything else. 18+.
