The Rivals Bride
(2026)(The first book in the House Of Volkov series)
A novel by Danielle Kent and Cora J Riley
She was the price of her father's mistakes.
She became the wife of his rival.
MIRA
My father raised me to be afraid of one man in our city. The man on the other side of the river. The Pakhan
of the rival Bratva. The wolf at our gate.
He's the man who walked into the auction my father sold me to — and stopped it.
He took me to his house. He locked me in a cell with cameras. He did not touch me. He sat across from me
every afternoon for fifteen days, and every afternoon I learned a new way to want a man I was supposed to
be terrified of.
Then he gave me a folder, and the folder told me what my father had done.
And the wolf at the gate became the only door in my life I wasn't afraid to walk through.
MAKSIM
I walked into that warehouse to burn it down.
I walked out with Andrei Petrov's daughter in my coat.
I have rules in my house. Three of them. The first is that she eats what I put in front of her. The second is
that she wears what I leave on her bed.
The third is that she does not, ever, lie to me about what she wants.
Especially when what she wants is me.
