Andrei Novikov is the new head of the Novikov Bratva. Indifferent, unflappable, and cold, Andrei is as stoic as he is lethal, as strategic as he is barbaric. Willing to do whatever it takes to maintain control and extend his empire, there's one final wish his father made on his deathbed that has Andrei at a crossroads: to forge a lasting alliance with the Italian Mafia in order to secure the drug trade.
And for the Italians, longterm alliances are only brokered in one way: marriage.
Giula Russo is everything but the polite, docile, Italian woman her family expects her to be. As the oldest of three sisters, Giula's a downright train wreck. Late-night parties, sleepovers with f*ck boys, and reckless benders has her Mafia don father claiming her as ineligible for marriage. But Giula's wild antics are really a cover for a traumatic past, as well as a shield protecting her from a forced future.
When the Russo family meets Il Russo, "The Russian," the violent worlds of the Italian Mafia and Russian Bratva are destined to clash--will it end in alliance or war? Love or betrayal?

Unbounded Love
Sofia Petrov was used to a life of danger. Growing up as a part of the Bratva in Moscow had made sure of that. Though, nothing in the world could have prepared her for the sinful temptation that was Alexei Zakharov.
