Shutter and Sin by Lauren Kross
They say you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. They definitely say you shouldn’t marry the mafia.
My name is Zoya, and I live a double life: a broke freelance journalist by day, and an online streamer by night. But my carefully constructed world shatters the night Alexei Romanov snatches me off the street.
Covered in violent scars and gang tattoos, Alexei is a walking red flag. He destroys my camera to protect his secrets, but what he gives me in return is far worse: his undivided attention.
He invades my streams, throws his dark wealth at me, and claims me in ways I can’t escape.
But here’s the thing nobody told me: the arranged marriage I escaped? It was to him. The ruthless Pakhan I’ve been dodging for half a decade just found his runaway bride, and he has zero intention of letting me go twice.
Now I’m trapped between his obsessive claiming and a brutal mob war that’s painting targets on both our backs. Old enemies are crawling out of graves, and rival families are circling like sharks. His solution to keeping me safe? Forcing that long-avoided wedding ring onto my finger.
Plunged into a high stakes world of Bratva councils, blood feuds, and a terrifying husband who will torture anyone in his path to keep me safe, I have to ask myself…
Am I his prisoner, or his fiercely protected queen?
Shutter and Sin is a dark mafia romance featuring a fiercely devoted, touch her and die husband who is an absolute green flag for his wife. This thrilling ride guarantees a fluffy, swoon-worthy mafia HEA, with absolutely no cheating and no cliffhangers.
