He doesn't believe in love. She was never meant to be his. But now, she belongs to him.
Maxim is the ruthless underboss of the Russian mafia in America-cold, calculating, and incapable of emotion. Or so the entire Brotherhood believes.
Sentiments like love, passion, even hate? Foreign to a man who built his empire on silence and steel. He doesn't feel. He controls.
Until her.
When the former Pakhan demands one final favor-protect his innocent, eighteen-year-old goddaughter-Maxim agrees without question. But keeping her safe means taking her as his wife.
An arranged marriage. A forbidden attraction. An obsession he never saw coming.
Anastacia is everything Maxim shouldn't want. Too young. Too pure. Too vulnerable for a man like him. But once she steps into his world, she ignites something buried deep inside-something raw, possessive, and dangerous.
In the middle of a bloody mafia war, Maxim must protect her from more than just their enemies. He must protect her from himself.
Because the moment she became his, there was no going back.
And now, she'll never belong to anyone else.

He's the king of the Georgia real estate empire. A billionaire. A monster in disguise.
She was never supposed to matter. But now, she's the only thing that does.
On paper, Yerik is a respected businessman-untouchable, untarnished, and revered. But behind the polished suits and billion-dollar deals lies a brutal truth: Yerik is the ruthless leader of the Russian mafia in the United States. A man forged by violence. Governed by the code of the thieves-in-law. Feared by everyone-including his enemies.
When his cousin begs him to rescue a kidnapped girl, Yerik agrees. It's supposed to be a favor. A task. Nothing more.
Until he sees her.
Talassa was meant to be a mission. Not an obsession.
But once Yerik lays eyes on her, he knows one thing: she's his.
To protect.
To claim.
To keep-whether she likes it or not.
