The Weight Of His Name: A Dark Bratva Marriage Romance

He didn't buy me. He priced me - and then made sure I was worth more to him than I was to anyone else. My father owed the Nikitin family a debt he could never repay, so he paid it with me. >Matvei Nikitin noticed anyway. Now I live on his floor of the tallest tower in the city, wear a ring that makes his enemies careful, and lie awake with exits I no longer want to use. He never raises his voice. He's never had to - the men who cross him simply stop existing, and somewhere between his house rules and not flinching at his hands, I stopped counting how badly I wanted them on me instead. I told myself I'd never lie for a man like him. >Every quiet night in his house is a war I keep losing on purpose. Possessive, ice-cold bratva hero. Forced proximity under one roof. A wealth gap he wields like a leash. Fully open-door, fully explicit - the control breaks, and nothing fades to black. This one runs quieter than most mafia romance: the real danger isn't the gunfire, it's what I let myself become to keep him. Want a slow, obsessive unravelling more than a war? This is your book. Standalone. Dark, chosen, full HEA. Contains explicit content and on-page violence. 18+.
