It starts with a contract, not a love story. After a mission in Spain goes wrong, Aleksandra Mikhailovna Dragunova, Moscow's Bratva princess, is ordered to marry the lion of Sicily to stop a war. One wrong deal. One betrayal. One forced marriage between two empires that should never mix... and a slow-burn obsession that could burn them all. Hunted by her own world and driven out of every safe house and city, Aleksandra has one way left to survive: align with the Spadaro family. A ring she never wanted becomes her only shield. Domiziano Massimo Spadaro, Underboss and the heir to the Black Lion's crown, was raised on blood oaths and loyalty. His loyalty is the kind that makes men fear his name more than the law. When the contract lands on his desk, he doesn't see a bride; he sees a liability wrapped in strategy. A Dragunov. A woman he is ordered to claim, never trust. Aleksandra led men who killed at her word and bled at her feet. Her rules were simple: freedom over fairy tales. Power over promises. Control over love. They walk into the marriage as enemies, bound by ink, not choice. They promise themselves one thing: do not fall. ~~~ "He was supposed to be my protection. Not my addiction." ~ Aleksandra Dragunova

Ayka is the idol daughter. Never argues. Never shows emotion or 'overreacts'. Carries out everything told of her. Not a pushover-of course not-but knows her job and does it well. Alia is not the flawless daughter. Has a cheeky remark for everything. Bargains as if existence was an ever-long fish market. And lives life with her heart on her sleeve-a smile on her face-and a pep in her step. Although, Alia's intention isn't to be a walking nightmare. She just wants the approval of her father. Danil Dmitriev is the son of a neglectful, workaholic father, Adam Dmitriev. Danil's tension with his father has only grown over the years in his childhood-especially when Adam married a woman 25 years younger than him only four months after his mother passed away. But things take a turn when Adam requires Danil to get an alliance with the Siberians after realizing the war with the other Russian bratva, the bratva of Moscow, is getting far too intense for anyone's good. Ivan Sokolov is intense. Intense, cold, and the eldest son and heir to the Moscow bratva. Some call him uncaring. Some call him determined. Most call him bat-shit psycho. Ivan isn't a psycho, per se. He just knows the correct reaction to every situation. And by the correct reaction, I mean he has a boiling temper. So, when he finds out about the St. Petersburg bratva potentially messing with his family's legacy-he may have casually started a full fledged mafia war. Ivan is now stuck between a rock and a hard place. Marry the Siberian's idol daughter, Ayka, or deal with the other Russian bratva alone. Alia isn't an option-especially considering the fact that his younger brother has had a crush on her since forever. Enjoy this read :) - urlocalromance / avni

He wasn't supposed to see her. One accidental glance on a city street was all it took for Nikolai Volkovi-ruthless boss of the Russian mafia-to lose the one thing he's always controlled: himself. Lila Roslyn is gentle in a brutal world. She apologizes when she shouldn't, believes in fairytales despite a childhood that taught her better, and sleeps peacefully unaware that a devil now listens to her breathe just so he can survive the night. Watching her becomes a need. Protecting her becomes a compulsion. Touching her feels like a sin he doesn't trust himself to survive. "She's my fucking drug and my antidote." As Lila begins to sense the man in the shadows-and the way his presence awakens something dangerous and tender inside her-Nikolai's empire starts to notice his weakness. When his father threatens to destroy the woman softening him, Nikolai is forced to choose between blood and salvation. Because the devil has found something holy enough to kneel for... and he will burn the world before he lets her be taken from him.
