The Bratva’s Blood Bride

Anya Petrov enters Nikolai Sokolov’s Chicago stronghold as collateral for her family’s debt, hiding the map to an encrypted ledger against her skin. She plans to expose the Bratva pakhan who claimed her. Nikolai plans to keep her alive through ownership, control, and blood. When betrayal inside both families turns their marriage into a siege, revenge collides with a dangerous intimacy neither of them can command.

Her family traded her to a Bratva king—but on their wedding night, he discovered what his new bride had hidden beneath her dress.
