Bound Bride by Ajme Williams

I was sold to the most feared Bratva Pakhan in New York.

Marry him.

Submit to him.

Give him an heir.

Save my family.

That was the deal.

Konstantin Belyaev is twice my age.

Cold.

Violent.

A man who takes what he wants—and keeps it.

And now… he wants me.

Every touch is possession.

Every kiss feels like a warning.

Every night in his bed drags me deeper into a world I can’t escape.

He doesn’t just touch me…

He owns me.

Body.

Mind.

Soul.

And the worst part?

I’m starting to crave it.

Starting to crave him.

But while my husband marks me like I belong to him…

I’m carrying a secret that could destroy us both.

Because I wasn’t sent to love him.

I was sent to betray him.

To give his enemies the one thing that could bring him to his knees—his heir.

Now war is coming.

Lines are being drawn.

And I’m running out of time.

Because when Konstantin finds out what I’ve done…

He won’t just punish me.

He’ll break me.

And make sure I never escape him again.

Reader’s Note:

A dark, addictive mafia romance featuring a possessive Bratva Pakhan, forced marriage, age gap, and a secret betrayal that could destroy everything. Expect obsessive touch-her-and-die energy, high heat, emotional angst, and morally gray characters caught in a brutal mafia war.

Standalone. HEA guaranteed.
