This is an accidental marriage, instalove, instalust, forced proximity, unhinged Bratva romance, with a guaranteed HEA! Enjoy 😉

I walked down the aisle to a man I barely knew.
A bride sold for power.
A promise carved in blood.

Then the guns went off.

My groom died at my feet—
and his uncle dragged me from the flames.

Dimitri Morozov.
Bratva Pakhan.
The man everyone fears… and no one escapes.

He says he saved me.
But salvation shouldn’t feel like a cage.

Now I wear another man’s name,
sleep in his fortress,
and breathe under his rules.

My father calls it kidnapping.
The Bratva calls it war.
Dimitri calls me necessary.

But necessity turns dangerous
when his touch lingers,
when his kiss feels like ownership,
when his enemies decide I’m the perfect weapon.

I was supposed to be a widow.
A ghost.

Instead, I became the Pakhan’s weakness.

And when I learn the truth—
about my father,
about the massacre,
about the child growing quietly inside me,
about what Dimitri will do to protect what’s his—

I realize one terrible thing:

I was never meant to escape him.


A dark, emotionally intense Bratva romance featuring forced marriage, age gap, secret pregnancy, and morally gray love. No cliffhanger on the couple. HEA guaranteed.

For years I’ve kept the most coveted secret in Willow Creek. The identity of B. Feather, the infamous journalist. But now I’m forced to tell the town and possibly face their wrath. That’s not the only secret I’m keeping from everyone though. Two pink lines and my whole world is turned upside down. And the father is none other than the man I insist on keeping at arm’s length.

I came to Willow Creek for one reason, to start my own security company. Not to start an intercourse only relationship with a woman nearly fifteen years younger than me. Unfortunately, I can’t resist her every time she shows up on my doorstep looking for fun. But fun can turn serious in the blink of an eye.

Now her life is in danger and I need to convince her I’m the right man for the job instead of pushing me away.

Can I keep her and our unborn baby safe or am I about to lose something I never realized I wanted?

I met him in a storm of blood and chaos.
A mafia king bleeding on my ER table—
cold eyes, ruthless aura,
a man carved from violence and vengeance.

I should’ve walked away.
Instead, I saved him.
And that single choice pulled me into a world
I was never meant to survive.

His enemies hunted him.
Then they hunted his daughter.
And before I realized what was happening…
they began hunting me too.

Mikhail Orlov claims he’s protecting me.
But protection in his world feels a lot like captivity—
guns, guards, shadows whispering my name.

He sits on a throne built from blood,
and I’m the outsider he refuses to let go.
I tell myself I’m too soft for this life—
too moral, too breakable, too good.

But the thing about monsters like him?
They fear only one thing—
losing the woman who sees the man beneath the brutality.

And the truth I hate admitting?
In a world full of predators…
I’ve never felt safer than I do with him.

Author’s Note: A dark, emotional, forbidden age-gap mafia romance. No Cliffhanger. HEA Guaranteed.

The huntress has become the hunted, in more ways than one…

Jordyn Alvarez works for the United States government—a fact no one in authority will admit. She does Uncle Sam’s dirty work. Some might call her an agent, but few know her real title—assassin.

Trained by one of the best black operatives in the world, she wants nothing more than to add him to the long list of people she’s sent straight to hell—but she doesn’t dare get close to him ever again.

If she did, she couldn’t be sure her body wouldn’t betray her once more and she’d wind up in bed with him, obeying his every command. With her cover blown though, she may not have a choice.

Who is he? He’s a ghost. A man with one name—Carter. And it’s time for him to pay for his sins.

***The Trident Security series contains passionate romance, nail-biting suspense, and happily-ever-afters. The books are best read in order.
