His Promised Bride
(2026)(The second book in the Bratva's Arranged Brides series)
A novel by Ella Thorne
I marry Aidan Orlov because refusing would damage my family's reputation.
The council is watching. Old rules are being enforced again. The Orlovs need wives to prove they’re still under control—and my name is placed on the contract like it was always meant to be there.
Aidan and I grew up crossing paths at Bratva functions and family meetings. His Irish Orlov branch worked alongside the Savitskys for years. He was always present. Always quiet. Always watching.
I just didn’t realise he was watching me.
I sign the papers willingly. I accept the expectations that come with his name. What I don’t expect is how easily he takes control once I’m his. How familiar his touch feels. How quickly obligation turns into something darker.
Something possessive.
Aidan doesn’t pretend this is a convenience. He doesn’t act surprised by his hunger for me. The way he looks at me tells me this marriage was never about duty alone.
It was about claiming what he already decided belonged to him.
This was supposed to be a political arrangement. Instead, I’m discovering what it means to be chosen by a man who never intended to let me go.
His Promised Bride is a dark, high-heat instalove romance featuring arranged marriage, long-term obsession, possessive devotion, 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, innocent heroines, and immediate payoff with no slow burn.
If you love dark romance where duty turns into obsession…start reading now.
