The Bride He Stole

I agreed to marry one monster to save my father's empire. I never expected a more dangerous one to steal me first.

My wedding was supposed to be a business arrangement.

Marry the son of a powerful Italian mafia family. Keep the peace on the New Orleans waterfront. Protect the company my father left me and the hundreds of people who depend on it.

Love was never part of the deal.

Then Yaroslav Bessonov walked out of the shadows.

Forty-two. Ruthless. Untouchable. The most dangerous man in the Russian Bratva.

And apparently, he's been watching me for two years.

The night before my wedding, he kidnaps me. By morning, I'm standing in front of a priest, being forced to marry a man who has already decided I belong to him.

Slava doesn't ask permission. He doesn't negotiate. And he certainly doesn't take no for an answer.

He wants my obedience. My body. My loyalty. Every part of me I've never given another man.

There's just one problem.

I didn't spend my life fighting to earn my place in a man's world just to surrender everything to a husband I never chose.

But the more I fight him, the more dangerous our attraction becomes. His possessiveness should terrify me. His brutality should make me hate him.

Instead, I'm beginning to discover just how far this man will go to keep what's his.

And with two powerful crime families on the brink of war, I have no idea which is more dangerous.

The enemies who want to destroy everything I love.

Or the husband who's making me forget I ever wanted to escape.
