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
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. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself. But the danger Viktor poses to my heart isn’t all we’re facing. Alexei is coming. For me, for Sofia, for Ana, to wipe out the men of the three ...

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
The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

Story
Lev Zarkov is a real-life monster. No, correction, he's actually the devil. Except, when I first meet him, he's simply the mysterious, handsome man traveling next to me on a first-class flight to New York. And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think, why not? Surely, I deserve one night to forget. I mean, where's the harm in a little indulgence, right?

When he invited me to join him for a drink, I thought Alessandro was an ordinary guest at my family's hotel. I didn't know I belonged to him until he told me right there in the restaurant. I thought I had a say in the matter. But when I stood up to leave, it just earned me a sore bottom for the plane ride to New York, where our wedding was already planned for the next day. But I was soaking wet for him before he even walked me down the aisle.

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.

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.

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. My hand in marriage was meant to bridge the violence between our two families–Italian and Russian, mafia and Bratva–and bring peace. Then my father died. Now my godfather is my guardian. 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 ...

Three months ago, I almost got hit by a car. The guy behind the wheel was as gorgeous as they come. We got to talking and… well, things got a little carried away, if you know what I mean. But when it was over, we went our separate ways. Except, not quite. The little plus sign on this pregnancy test tells me our story isn't over. But that's a problem for another day. First, I have to go to my sister's engagement party. When I see who she's marrying, my jaw hits the floor.
