The Bulgarian Brute

Dahlia Rossi built her life on something simple-quiet mornings, bitter espresso, and the safety of routine in her small Sicilian café. She never asked for more.

Until the night she was taken.

Dragged from her world and delivered into the hands of a man known only as Stefanov-a name whispered through the underworld with fear-Dahlia quickly learns that survival comes at a cost. Cold. Calculated. Unforgiving. He doesn't just want her obedience... he wants to remake her.

Piece by piece, he strips her down-her identity, her defiance, her sense of control-until what's left is something sharper, more dangerous. Under his watch, Dahlia is no longer just a captive. She is trained, molded, and unleashed as a weapon within the Bulgarian mafia-a spy hidden behind beauty, silence, and submission.

But the deeper she is pulled into his world, the more dangerous the line between captor and protector becomes.

Because Stefanov doesn't just control her.

He watches her. Studies her. Claims her.

And somewhere between fear and fire, Dahlia begins to understand the truth:

The man who destroyed her life... may be the only one who knows what she's becoming.

The man who destroyed her life... may be the only one who knows what she's becoming.

And walking away from him might be more impossible than surviving him.
