Her father made a deal. An agreement that Kasia Garska must now fulfill. Marriage to a man who would as easily toss her to the streets as he would take his next breath. While Dominik's father is in Poland, hiding from impending legal trouble in Chicago, Dominik must take control of the family and move forward with a long ago agreement. There is suspicion the Garska family is behind the charges, and Dominik firmly believes in the adage of keeping your enemies close. Kasia is not the enemy Dominik expected, and before long he wants more than to keep a watchful eye on her father. He wants her. To possess her, punish her, truly own her. And he will, because Kasia is his to take.

My family took something from the Russian mob. Now they've taken something back. Me. I was given to Micah Ivanov as a bride to keep the peace between the two most powerful mafia dynasties in Chicago. But my future husband doesn't plan to let this be a marriage in name only. He's going to take me to his bed whether I like it or not, starting tonight. I know he's going to be rough. I know it's going to hurt. But that's not all that scares me... I'm not just afraid that he'll make me scream. I'm terrified that he'll make me beg for it first. Publisher's Note: Kept by Him is a stand-alone novel which is the second book of the Mafia Brides series. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.
