Hiding the Don

Sofia Marchetti only wanted to pay her mother's hospital bills. Then she opened the wrong ledger at the Vault Club and learned exactly who signs her paychecks. Aleksei Volkov has run Brighton Beach for nine years without a weakness. The moment his hand closes over hers, the mate bond tells him he has just found one — and that the bond will not be denied. He hides her. She refuses to stay hidden. When the Antonov family takes her mother to force the bond broken, Sofia does what she has always done with a threat: she reads it carefully, and she finds the number that ends it. A fated mates bratva romance about a woman who balances books and a man who has never had to answer to anyone — until now.
