Savage Love

Nikolai was born in blood. As Brigadir (capo) of the Russian Bratva, his name is both feared and cursed across the across the country. He rules Moscows underworld with an iron fist, answering only to vengeance and the code of the 'vory v zakone'. When the Moscow Syndicate dares to violate his territory, it is not merely an insult-it is a declaration of war.
And Nikolai does not forgive.
A wedding is sacred in their world, bound by blood oaths and family honor. To steal a bride is to spit on everything the code stands for. Alina Morozov, the jewel of the Moscow Syndicate and niece to its Pakhan, has been promised to a man chosen for power, not love. But on the day of her wedding, with the church bells still ringing, Nikolai storms her path-ripping her from the satin and lace of her future and dragging her into the dark heart of his empire.
Alina knows rescue will never come. Her abduction is not a crime of passion-it's an act of war. Yet she refuses to cower, matching Nikolai's ruthlessness with defiance, his games with her own sharp wit. But in a world where trust is poison and desire is deadly, every exchange between them draws them deeper into a dangerous spiral.
He wants to shatter her spirit to break her family.
She wants to bring him to his knees to save her own.
But when fire meets fire, the blaze doesn't just burn-it consumes.
