Forbidden Love

I was used to women who were either terrified by my work for the Bratva or who liked the fantasy of being with a powerful man. Serena fit into neither category. She was just …comfortable with it.

Anton Kostrov is not a man used to being told No.
His brothers obey him.
Most of the Bratva fear him.
The woman he loves adores him.

But the archaic Mafia refuse to allow an Italian girl to marry a Russian.

He could take her.
If it were anything else he wanted, he would take it without question.

But the only thing stronger than Anton’s love for Serena is his respect for her.
And this time, he won’t use force.
He’ll do it her way.
For her.

“I trust you. And God knows I’m never going to say that about any man in the Mafia.”

Serena Caletti does not like being dictated to.
Her father’s plans to marry her off to some mobster who sees women as decoration? Not happening.

Serena knows exactly who she wants—and she’ll do whatever it takes to become Anton Kostrov’s wife.
Even if it means doing favours for the ruthless Capo, Aurelio Dinelli, to persuade him to overrule her father.

But some favours come with long-reaching consequences…
