The Underboss's Reluctant Bride

Irina Kazakov saves lives for a living. The night she's taken from a hospital parking lot, she learns how quickly hers can be traded. Her father has disappeared with a formula the Bratva wants, and the only thing keeping Irina alive is a lie: Maxim Antonov, the underboss, tells his pakhan that Irina is his fiancée. She plays the part to survive. She also learns Maxim has his own reason for wanting her father's formula — and his own plan to bring the Bratva down. Between basement surgeries, false engagement dinners, and a night on the run, Irina and Maxim become the most dangerous thing either of them has ever encountered: trusting. When the pakhan orders her killed, Maxim chooses her over the family that made him. Some brides are bargains. This one is a rebellion.
