I desperately need his protection. In return, he demands marriage and a baby… I hacked myself into a situation, and now only the Bratva can save me. But when I go to the Bratva, he takes one look at me and says his protection has a price. Either I marry him and give him a baby or…he leaves me to die. I’ve always relied on myself, never obeyed anyone. But I have no choice but to obey him. When I don’t listen to him, he traps me against the door. When I try to run from him, he drags me back to his suite. And soon I learn that when a Russian is obsessed with you…you’d better obey. He denies me my freedom and gets jealous when I talk to someone. He controls my life like it’s his and owns my body like a toy. My pregnancy hormones are leaving me helpless in this game that he plays. Will he ever stop using me for his own objectives? Or will he keep me here for life? The Russian Bratva of Miami has three solve problems with violence, paint the streets with blood, and break hearts at will. They’re not nice, they’re not gentle, and they don’t compromise. But behind closed doors, they’ll show you what ruthless love really means.
