The Bratva's Borrowed Bride - A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance #1012144

Her sister ran the night before the wedding. So the Bratva took the other one.

Piano teacher Anya Sorel finds the note on her sister's pillow at nine o'clock on a snowy January night. By midnight, three black cars are idling outside her mother's house in Chicago, and Lev Antonov, the cold, controlled heir to the city's most feared Bratva family, is standing in the front room looking straight at her.

Her late father's debt was supposed to be paid with a wedding. Now there is no bride. Unless Anya takes her place.

One year. A contract. Separate rooms and a lock only she holds the key to. The debt erased and her mother's house returned. And one clause Lev writes in himself: no one touches his wife without answering to him.

Anya expects a monster. Instead she finds a man who stands when she enters a room, who unlocks the music room no one has entered in nineteen years just to hear her play, and who walks through a blizzard to bring her tea. But Lev's ambitious cousin wants this marriage to fail, someone is willing to shed blood to make it happen, and Lev is keeping a secret about the night her sister disappeared.

When the truth comes out, Anya will have to decide what she can forgive, and what she chooses, now that no one can choose for her.
