His Captive Bride
(2026)(The fourth book in the Bratva's Arranged Brides series)
A novel by Ella Thorne
I said no. So the council took my freedom.
They ordered me to marry an elderly baron in some forgotten territory. Traded for influence, shipped off like property.
I simply refused to comply.
Now I’m under house arrest, guarded day and night while men negotiate my future behind closed doors. My brother fights for my release. The council offers a compromise.
Instead of marrying the baron, I must marry an Orlov.
Same transaction. Different cage.
At least this way I stay on home soil. At least this way I’m not handed to a man old enough to be my grandfather. But choice was never part of the deal. I’m being reassigned, not rescued.
The Orlov heir expects a compliant bride. What he gets is a woman with fire in her spine and anger in her blood.
I don’t beg. I don’t soften. I don’t pretend this is anything but captivity wrapped in pretty paper.
He sees it immediately. My defiance and my pride. My refusal to be broken. It awakens something dark and possessive in him.
He doesn’t pretend this is political. He doesn’t hide his hunger. The way he looks at me tells me he didn’t agree to this marriage for diplomacy. He agreed because he wanted me.
I think I’ve been traded from one prison to another. What I don’t realise is that I’ve just walked into the arms of a man who will protect me with violence, claim me with obsession, and tear the world apart before letting me go.
His Captive Bride is a dark, high-heat instalove romance featuring forced marriage, defiant heroine, possessive protection, and a ruthless Bratva hero who claims once and forever, with a guaranteed HEA.
This is a short, addictive read meant to be devoured in one sitting, perfect for readers who crave dangerous men, strong heroines, and immediate payoff with no slow burn.
