About this listen
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.
But he’s made the price for peace my hand in marriage. And it’s clear that I can’t refuse.
I’ve survived marriage to one cruel man already. I’m no fragile princess. I know I can survive this. But the secrets of the Bratva are darker than even I realized, and the more I learn, the more desperate I am to escape.
Only one man, and the temptations he poses, stand in the way.
He holds my body captive. But he’ll never hold my heart.
Captive Bride is book one in the Mafia Bride Trilogy. The trilogy is complete. The reading order is as follows: Captive Bride, Stolen Bride and Beloved Bride.

Story
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. But Sofia Ferretti turns out to be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Sweet, innocent—and virginal. Too good for a ruthless killer like me. I’m not here to seduce her; I’m here to keep her alive. Safe from everyone in Manhattan who wants her dead. The Bratva are coming. ...

Story
A romance with a mafia boss has no place in my life. But he doesn’t care–not once he’s decided he wants me anyway. Six months after my father’s untimely death, I’m drowning in debt. Even working for one of the most respected celebrity tattoo artists in Los Angeles hasn’t been enough to fix that. I don’t have time to fall in love–or even to think about dating. Even a one-night-stand has become a distant possibility. Then my boss asks me to fill in for him while he’s sick–and I end up in a west LA penthouse, about to tattoo the most well-known mafia boss on this side of ...

Dante's character was firm but not creepy. If the narration was better, most of Dante's comments would be panty dropping.

He says he’s saved me from a fate worse than death. But all I see is a future that was stolen from me. Six months ago, my father promised me to the Bratva heir.

He believes the Bratva are ruthless animals, cruel and brutal, and that giving me over to them is signing my death warrant. So on my wedding day, he makes a fateful decision. He takes me for himself. Now I’m wed to the man who vowed to ...

The dark villain to my sheltered princess. Then–poof–he disappeared. If only he’d stayed away. Turns out, our marriage is a term of his inheritance and now he’s returned to collect what’s his. That means ripping me from my gilded cage. It means locking me beneath his searing flesh. It means war. I’m not supposed to like it. To beg for more. To fall for him.

Mikhail Dmitriyev is a beautiful devil with a villainous heart and a thirst for revenge. The choices he gave me when he stole me away from my home with an army of men were very clear—marry me or die. I chose to marry him and live. But there’s one small problem with his grand plan to rain Armageddon on the Mexican Cartel. I’m not the woman he thinks I am. I’m not the cartel princess he thinks he took to make his enemies bow to him. When my captor finds out my secret and realizes he married the wrong woman, love won’t be enough to save me. And neither will his obsession.
