(2026)(The first book in the Zakharov Brotherhood series)
A novel by Cora J Riley
He had one rule: don’t touch the Pakhan''s sister. She had one mission: make him break it.
Konstantin ‘Kos’ Demidov has spent fifteen years proving his loyalty to the Zakharov bratva. Lethal. Disciplined. Controlled to a fault. He’s the right hand of the most powerful man in the Russian underworld, and there is nothing he wouldn’t do for the brotherhood.
Except her.
Milena Zakharova is the Pakhan’s baby sister — a twenty-four-year-old trauma surgeon who’s been in love with the six-foot-three wall of silent muscle since she was sixteen and he carried her out of a car wreck without looking at her twice. She’s done waiting for him to notice. She’s done being good.
When a credible threat puts Milena in danger, her brother assigns Kos as her full-time protective detail. Live-in. Around the clock. Inches apart.
She flirts. He stonewalls. She walks out of the bathroom in a towel. He stares at the ceiling like it contains classified information. She dates someone else to make him jealous. The other guy’s car gets towed. Repeatedly. From everywhere.
But when the threat turns real and Kos kills two men with his bare hands to reach her, the control shatters. He kisses her like he’s been drowning and she’s air. Then he pulls back and says: ‘This can never happen again.’
She’s not having it.
Because Milena Zakharova doesn’t break rules — she rewrites them. And the rule that says the enforcer can’t love the Pakhan’s sister? That rule is about to burn.
Owned by the Bratva King is Book One of The Zakharov Brotherhood Series — a scorching, possessive, laugh-out-loud dark mafia romance with a hero who’d burn the world for her and a heroine holding the match. Standalone HEA.
