There’s only one choice for this innocent bride. Marry me or die.
I never wanted a wife.
But when the Bratva tries to take what was promised to me, it’s time to claim what’s mine.
I thought she would be a burden, a nuisance. A wife that I could lock away forever and forget about after our wedding night.
Marriage to Luca was supposed to be my salvation. Now it’s just a prison I can’t escape.
Marry him or die.
That was the choice.
When the Bratva attack on our wedding forces my new husband into the position of Don, all his promises to me are on hold. Now I’m in a gilded cage, locked away from everything that might harm me—except for the man who holds the key.
All’s fair in love and war.
The problem is, I want no part of either.
I want peace with the Bratva. Safety for my wife. And love?
That’s never played a part in any of this.
But the harder I fight against it, the more she pulls me in. And now I know that she’s carrying a secret.
One that could change both of our futures forever.
I made Sofia a promise.
I’m no innocent virgin. But the Bratva leader won't take no for an answer…
My first husband is dead and buried.
I’m left a widowed mafia princess—a dangerous title to hold, especially when one man already has his eye on me.
Viktor Andreyev.
His own men call him Ussuri. The Bear. Older than me, with a reputation for violence and a cruel exterior to match, he’s no one I would ever choose for a husband. In fact, I’d hoped that I’d never have to marry again at all.
My husband isn’t a man to steal from. But someone has decided to anyway.
Someone wanted Viktor to pay. Enough to take his wife from his own home. Enough to risk his wrath.
When I wake up in a cabin in the Russian forest, broken and traumatized, Viktor is there, a different man from the one I married.
Caring. Nurturing. Even, dare I say, loving. He brings me back to life, one kindness at a time, and for a few brief days, I think that maybe I’ve gotten him all wrong.
The final book in the Mafia Bride trilogy.
Is almost losing everything enough to change a man?
My husband is about to lose everything he’s worked so hard to keep.
His empire.
His daughter.
Me.
I can’t love a man who does the things that Viktor does. I can’t belong to him, not in the way I want to. It doesn’t matter what he’s awakened in me, or how much I crave him. How much my heart wants him.
She’s beautiful. Broken. And she needs me to save her.
Anastasia Ivanova is everything I shouldn’t want. She’s the damaged and disgraced daughter of a Bratva brigadier, a former ballerina and now the possession of a man whose name I don’t even know, let alone where to start looking to find him. She has no pedigree, no connections, no innocence.
Nothing to offer, by the standards that my world uses to judge a future bride.
The Irish King saved me. But at what cost?
Liam McGregor swooped in and stole me away from Alexandre. Like a white knight bent on saving the damsel, he’s scooped me up and taken me back to Boston, back to safety. There, with my friends and his, he says I can begin to heal.
To get back to the girl I once was.
But whatever there might once have been between us, I don’t know if there can be anymore. I’m half in love with a man who Liam says is insane and I say is just as broken as I am, and now thanks to him, Liam is broken too.
Two men who want me. One man who loves me. And all of our secrets out in the open—
Alexandre says he loves me, but this isn’t love. Liam, step by step, has shown me that. But now there’s just more than my life hanging in the balance. More than just my future at risk.
There’s Liam’s place at the head of the Irish Kings. Alexandre’s life. The woman who Liam was meant to marry—a promise that he’s sworn he’ll break, whatever that requires. An empire that could crumble, all because he loves me.
A love that I’m not sure I deserve. A future that I’m not sure I’m capable of living.
Betray me once, shame on me. Betray me twice—
With my engagement broken and the future of the Irish Kings hanging in the balance, I’m being offered up to the one man my father thinks can make a difference, the lost Boston heir, Liam’s elder brother.
Connor McGregor.
He goes by a different name now, but that doesn’t change why I’m here in London—to play the game my father has set up, and lure the other McGregor brother back to Boston…and into wedded bliss with me. In theory, it seemed easy enough—but I hadn’t counted on Connor’s resistance to returning to his old life…or the new and unexpected desire he’d arouse in me.
Connor is all but mine. But my heart is in more danger than ever—
With a ring on my finger and both of us on a flight back to Boston, our victory is all but assured. But I know better than anyone that a betrothal isn’t a marriage, and that Connor and I need to get to the altar sooner rather than later—with my innocence still assured.
He’s told me that once we’re wedded and bedded, the desire will pass. But it only seems to grow with each passing day, despite the temptations swirling around both of us.
Two brothers at war. A spy in the ranks. And one last effort at peace…
Connor and Liam survived the deadly fire that nearly claimed them and their men, but there’s still danger at every turn. Someone wants their war to come to an end—and that someone doesn’t seem to care who dies in the process. And as for the war on our home front?
Connor wants me. I want him. But our marriage is a never-ending standoff, both of us too proud to admit that the one thing that could make us truly happy is the one thing we already have. As I struggle to give him the heir he so badly wants, every night we spend together in bed brings us closer to admitting that truth—that there’s love here, whether he wants it or not.
All my life I’ve been a beautiful bird in a golden cage. He’s my one chance for a taste of something else.
The eldest daughter of cartel boss Ricardo Santiago, I’ve been sheltered, pampered, and carefully guarded for my entire life. At twenty-one, it’s far past the time that I should have been married, according to my parents. My father promises me that he’ll choose a husband for me that I’ll find pleasing—but beautiful chains are still chains.
There’s one thing that’s still mine, though—and I’ve made up my mind to give it to a man that I choose.
