Kept By the Bratva by Jailaa West

I took her innocence and left. I waited. I watched. And when she did the unthinkable, I shut it down.

Maxim:

I’m the monster that lives in darkness. I should not have touched her. But when have I ever done the right thing?

I tried with her. I told her I didn’t want her. It was a cruel lie meant to protect her from my violent mafia world. But the moment I find out she’s walking down the aisle to marry a safe, boring civilian?

I stop it. She doesn’t get to be with anyone else. Not when she’s mine.

I’m crashing the chapel. I’m stealing the bride. And before the week is over, I’m replacing her fiancé’s ring with my Bratva heir—leaving her too heavy with my child to ever run from me again.

Laura:

Maxim Ismailov threw me away like I meant nothing. Now, I’m standing in my bridal suite, trying to convince myself that a predictable life is better than a dangerous fire with a possessive alpha hero.

Then the key turns. The lock clicks. And the syndicate monster steps out of the shadows.

He throws me over his broad shoulder and threatens to slaughter everyone I know if I make a sound. He thinks he can kidnap me, cage me, and force me to cower. He’s right.

But the wolf doesn’t realize the mouse is finally ready to claim him right back.

Kept by the Bratva is a blistering, standalone dual-POV dark contemporary romance novella.

Tropes: Runaway Bride, Bratva Kidnapping, Dark Mafia Romance, Grumpy/Sunshine, Breeding Kink, Forced Proximity.
