Nikolai Petrenko is a liability. A rival heir captured alive—and worth more broken than dead. Alexei Morozov is the man sent to extract what Nikolai refuses to give. He doesn’t threaten. He doesn’t negotiate. He follows a process—one that turns resistance into dependency and defiancé into leverage. What begins as interrogation becomes something colder. More precise. Nikolai learns that survival isn’t earned through strength, but through surrender to the rules of captivity. Because in the Bratva, being taken isn’t about force. It’s about what you become once escape is no longer possible. Taken by the Bratva is a dark MM enemies-to-lovers romance where captivity blurs into dependence and resistance becomes dangerous desire. This is a standalone novel with an HEA—no cliffhanger, no mercy.

Now he has two things the Baranovs $340 million in offshore accounts and contacts it took decades to build. He walks into Andrei Baranov's office with an offer.

At forty, Andrei has spent twenty years building an empire while being overlooked by his own family. He recognizes the same wound in Dimitri immediately—the undervalued son, the one never trusted with real power. He wants to be the first person who sees Dimitri clearly. What starts as leverage becomes something Andrei can't justify and Dimitri can't resist. The man who destroyed his family is the first one who's ever listened. But when old loyalties come calling with promises of vengeance, Dimitri will have to choose what he's really become. Claimed by the Bratva is a high-heat MM mafia romance featuring a 40/25 age gap, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and a pakhan who discovers some acquisitions can't stay transactional.
