In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake.

I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her.

A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood.

She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear.

This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival.

But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules.

And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction.

Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.

One night, after sneaking out of a dinner party, I witness something I wasn't supposed to. I make a vow to never speak of it, but my word obviously means nothing. The same man whose secrets I vowed to keep turns out to be the leader of the Russian mafia and he's demanding my hand in marriage. But the imposing six foot four blonde Bratva leader isn't as dangerous as he first seems. Under that hardness is a charming and humorous man who might just have the capability to unravel my hatred towards him. Ilya I never knew the hardships that came with running the Bratva. Like finding out my ally has been secretly plotting against me. Eamon Embry and I had a deal but he broke it and now he owes me.

Damian Russo was a man who knew loss. After the tragic death of his beloved Sophia, he buried his heart in ice, unwilling to feel again. But his father had other plans-grief wasn't an excuse in the mafia world. To secure their empire, Damian was forced into an arranged marriage with Natalia Kozlov, the fiery and untouchable daughter of the ruthless Russian mafia. From the moment they said "I do," their marriage was a warzone. She was his enemy. He was her captor. Over time, the lines between duty and desire blurred, and despite everything, they fell for each other in a way neither of them had ever imagined. She realized It wasn't hate she felt for Damian Russo. It was fire. When Natalia uncovered Damian's past, the man behind the monster, her own walls crumbled. And with them came the truth she had hidden her whole life. She wasn't a Kozlov at all. ***** Damian's eyes darkened, his lips curling into a smirk as he brushed a thumb over my trembling bottom lip. "Bite your lip," he murmured, her voice low and commanding. "Because once I start, you're going to forget how to breathe." ****** ********************************** (Match Made In Mafia #Book3) WEDDED IN MAFIA contains explicit language, intense action, and heavy smut. There are dark themes of betrayal, abuse, power struggles, and trust issues. The side characters bring in BxB drama in the later chapters, adding depth, emotional conflict, and even more chaos to the story. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Anastasia I've been on the run for eight years, always looking over my shoulder, always waiting for the past to catch up with me. It wasn't just Aleksandr I left behind, it was the suffocating world of the Volkov Bratva, where loyalty is synonymous with chains and love is just another weapon. I thought I could escape, that the new life I'd built in the shadows would protect me. But when I saw him across the room, the air seemed to vanish. Aleksandr Volkov. Older, sharper, more dangerous than I remembered. His eyes burned at me, and I knew it wasn't forgiveness he sought. He wants revenge. And I know Aleksandr well enough to understand one thing: he doesn't let go of what's his. Aleksandr She thinks she can hide from me. She thinks eight years will be enough to erase what she's done to me, to my family. Anastasia. My sweet, defiant зайка. She was mine since my father brought her into our home, and she'll be mine until I die. But she ran away, leaving me with nothing but betrayal and the relentless need to find her again. Now I have her, my little foster sister. As soon as I saw her, all the reasons I had to hate her dissolved into an overwhelming truth: I need her back. Not just to punish her for leaving, but to remind her where she belongs. She can fight me, resist me, but it won't matter. Anastasia has always been mine. And this time, I won't let her go.

College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
