Twisted Tyrant: A Dark Mafia Enemies to Lovers Arranged Marriage Romance

By Kristen Luciani

A standalone dark Russian Bratva romance with an arranged marriage, captive bride, and an assassin who was supposed to deliver her to his brother - not fall for her.

He broke into my bedroom at midnight, wrapped his hand around my throat, and whispered that I belonged to his family now.

I didn't know his name. I didn't know why. All I knew was that my father had done something terrible - and I was the price.

Luka Malikov is a bratva assassin fresh out of prison, inked and brutal and vibrating with five years of caged rage. He was supposed to deliver me to his twin brother Dima for a forced marriage as part of a revenge plot against my father.

He was never supposed to keep me.

But Luka doesn't hand me over. He locks me in his safe room, feeds his rescue pit bull steak off the counter, and looks at me like I'm the only war he's ever wanted to lose.

There's just one problem.

The monster who kidnapped me? He's been watching me for months. Following me to campus, to my music lessons, to my favorite restaurant. He has a folder of photos on his desktop labeled Fuck You, Dima - and every single one is of me.

He should terrify me. He does. But the man who ripped me from my life isn't the savage I expected. He's the one who kills three men with a baseball bat when they break in to hurt me. He remembers how I take my eggs and lets his dog choose me over him.

When his rough hands punish me, my body answers in ways I can't explain. When his voice drops low against my ear, I stop thinking about escape.

I start thinking about surrender.

But Luka is hiding something. A secret about my father, his brother, and a betrayal that runs deeper than blood. And when the truth detonates and I find out the man who stole my life might be the only one who ever tried to save it, I'll have to decide what I'm willing to burn for a love no one saw coming.

Including myself.
