He took me as a debt payment, but he’s keeping me as his bride.
One minute, I’m an innocent girl with plans.
The next, I’m collateral in my father’s twisted deal with the Bratva.
He’s much older, ruthless as they come, and dead set on taking what he’s owed.
To protect me from his enemies, he demands my obedience—and seals our fate with a forced marriage.
In his mansion, I’m under lock and key, with every step watched, every move controlled.
He says it’s for my safety, but I know better. His dark gaze doesn’t just threaten—it claims.
My innocence, my future, even my body, all promised to him now.
And the way he touches me, I know there’s no escaping.
I hate him. I crave him. He’s turning me into something new—someone who can’t stop trembling when he’s near.
But now I’m carrying his child, bound even closer to a man who takes what he wants, no matter the cost.
Will he break me beyond repair… or make me his forever?
In Chicago the rule of the Tarasov Bratva is the law. These men are as disciplined with their chiselled appearance as they are with the code of honor, revenge, and bloodshed they lie by. They take what they want, and if that is you, be prepared to be claimed, protected, satisfied, and hunted for the rest of your life… will you go willingly?
