The Pakhan’s Bride by Leona White

Five years ago, he was just a stranger in Paris.

A nameless man who claimed me for one night.

At twenty-one, I fell for a man twelve years my senior.

Today, he’s the Pakhan who destroyed my family.

Konstantin Vetrov took everything from me.

My father. My sister. My bloodline.

He turned my empire to ash and smoke.

But he doesn’t know about our son.

He doesn’t know I’ve spent five years sharpening my blade.

He doesn’t know the car bomb was just foreplay.

Until he survives my assassination attempt.

Until he tracks me to my sanctuary.

Until he makes me The Pakhan’s Bride.

“You don’t refuse the Pakhan,” he growls against my throat.

Now he’s discovered our beautiful boy with dual-colored eyes.

Now he watches our son call him Papa.

Lev loves the monster who owns me.

The same hands that claimed Moscow stroke my child’s hair.

The same mouth that commands empires whispers bedtime stories.

But I’m not here to play his captive queen.

I’m here to finish what I started.

Even if I have to destroy him from his own bed.

When love and vengeance share the same heartbeat…
