Bratva Priest: A Dark Forbidden Mafia Romance

By Alisson Bento

BLESS ME, FATHER, FOR I AM HERE TO KILL YOU.

I came to his island to slit his throat. instead, I ended up on my knees.

Varek Kovac is not a saint. He is a monster hiding in a cassock. Ten years ago, he was the Wolf of St. Petersburg-a Bratva captain with blood on his hands and ice in his veins. Now, he is the silent priest of Blackwater Isle, presiding over a church of ghosts and secrets. He thinks he has bought his penance. He thinks he is safe. He is wrong.

I am Maren Solberg. To the world, I am Sister Mary Magdalene, a humble nun seeking retreat. In reality, I am a weapon honed by the man who destroyed my family. I have spent three years training for one moment: to look Varek in the eye and make him pay for my father's murder.

But the island has other plans. A storm traps us together in the dark, crumbling rectory, stripping away our disguises. He catches me with a knife in my hand. He doesn't call the police. He doesn't kill me. He locks the door.

Varek knows who I am. He knows what I came to do. And he decides to teach me a lesson in submission. Every touch is a desecration. Every kiss is a war. I hate him with every fiber of my being, but when his hands are on me, my body forgets the mission.

But we aren't the only wolves in the dark. A true enemy is coming for us both-a man who wants to burn the church to the ground with us inside. To survive, I have to trust the monster I swore to kill. And to save me, Varek will have to break every vow he ever made.

The debt must be paid. But this time, the currency isn't money. It's blood.
