I’ve never been anything but a means to an end. But now the most powerful man in Chicago wants to make me his…forever. All my life I knew one thing about my father–that he wanted to be more than he was. More than a low-level nobody for the Chicago Bratva. And all my life, he’s groomed me to be his ticket to a seat at the table. When he barters my innocence for that seat, the pakhan takes him up on his offer. I’m meant to be a plaything for the Bratva heir. Thrown away and discarded, all for a powerful man’s pleasure. Except Nikolai Vasilev takes one look at me, and decides I’m...

My marriage will stop a war between our families. But it’s a marriage begun on a lie… There’s only one man in Chicago more powerful than my brother, the newly minted pakhan of the Vasilev Bratva–and that’s Theo McNeil, the leader of the Irish Kings in this city. A man I don’t know and have rarely seen, Theo is whispered to be a brutal man, even more violent and steeped in blood than my brother. And he’s going to be my husband. When Theo turns his eyes on the still-fragile territory that belongs to my brother, the only way to stop him from destroying what’s left of our family...

I thought he was my ticket to freedom. Now he holds me captive…and I don’t mean my heart. I thought I was safe with Mikhail. I thought he only wanted to spoil me, please me…enjoy me. But what began with a night of passion ended with me held captive in a house far away from anyone who could help–as if anyone would. Once, I was a Bratva princess. Once, I would have had an army coming to my rescue. Once, no one would have dared touch me like this. Now, I’m only his. He dares whatever he likes. And he says he’s never going to let me go. He thinks I’m someone I’m not–and he ...

I’ve already made a deal with one mafia boss. I have no intention of falling prey to another. The mafia boss I owed my loyalty to is dead–killed by a rival family. With him gone, I’m forced to pick up the pieces of my life, and make sure my little brother is cared for. But my job as a ballerina and moonlighting at a Los Angeles club aren’t enough, and soon I’m forced to consider other options. Lorenzo Campano seems like one of those options. But he’s not willing to make the same deal that I had before. He says he’s not interested in having me in his bed–but the way he looks ...

I thought I was safe from my father’s revenge. But he’s not the only one who wants me dead…Once upon a time, I was many things. An accomplished ballerina. The daughter of a powerful man. A Bratva princess. Now I’m none of those. Disinherited and alone, I use the skills that once elevated me to the height of the Moscow ballet for something else altogether–dancing for men who have no idea who I used to be. Who don’t care. Until I meet him. A dangerous brute of a man who wants me for reasons I don’t understand–and who makes me feel things I never knew I could. Things that I ...
