She witnessed a murder. He should have killed her. Instead, he took her.
Alyssa Mercer has survived worse than a dead-end bartending job and a mountain of her father’s debts. She’s tough, filthy-mouthed, and hasn’t let anyone close in three years. So when she stumbles into an alley and watches a bratva execution in progress, she does what any rational person would do.
She cracks a joke.
Dominik Sorokin is the pakhan of New York’s most dangerous bratva. Ice-cold. Ruthless. He hasn’t laughed in three years. The woman in the alley should be a loose end — a witness to eliminate. But something in his chest says no. So instead of a bullet, he gives her a locked room and a problem: she’s seen too much to leave.
Eight days. That’s how long he plans to keep her while he figures out what to do. Eight days of a bartender who turns every threat into a dare and a mob boss who’s losing a war he didn’t know he was fighting.
‘I could make you beg.’
‘Promises, promises.’
Because here’s the thing Dom didn’t anticipate: Alyssa has been single for three years, he’s devastatingly attractive, and his attempts at intimidation sound an awful lot like foreplay. Every threat he makes, she calls. Every bluff he raises, she matches. And every time he gets meaner — because control is the only language he has — she gets closer to the man underneath the ice.
She’s supposed to be afraid of him. She’s not. She’s supposed to want to escape. She doesn’t. And he’s supposed to let her go.
He can’t.
Taken by the Bratva Boss is a full-length dark romance with a sharp-tongued heroine, a possessive hero, and a slow burn that combusts. Book 1 of The Sorokin Bratva Series. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
Genre: Romance
