Blood Oath Christmas by Lydia Hall

I was meant to live quietly.

Serve drinks. Finish my degree.

Stay invisible.

Until I saw him kill a man.

Until the shadows turned toward me.

Until the devil himself came to save me.

He’s twice my age. A Pakhan.

The Bratva’s ruthless king.

And the only man standing between me and a bullet.

He says the FBI can’t protect me.

He says I’ll wear his ring… or I’ll die without it.

But the moment I became his bride,

I stopped being a target—

and became his obsession.

Behind his dragon tattoo and cold green eyes

lives the man who swore a blood oath—

to protect me. To claim me. To own me.

He’s my captor and my savior.

My forbidden Christmas miracle.

And somewhere between his violence and his vow,

I lost my fear… and gave him everything.

Now danger is closing in again—

and this time, I’m not running.

Because I carry his secret beneath my heart.

His legacy.

His love.

His undoing.

This Christmas, salvation comes wrapped in sin.
