About this audiobook
Roman Zharov killed Mila Reznik's father. Now he has come to collect the dead man's debt.
Roman is the cold strategist holding Chicago's Zharov bratva together. Mila is the bookkeeper who can read the private ledgers he cannot. He brings her into the family compound as collateral, but the numbers point toward a truth neither of them can survive unchanged.
When Roman's dying father marks Mila as a liability, Roman protects her in the most ruthless way possible. He marries her. The ceremony turns a captive into a wife, not an enemy into an ally. Mila must decide whether the man who destroyed her family can become the one person willing to defy his own empire for her.
Book 1 of The Zharov Brothers. Captive bride, marriage of convenience, sixteen-year age gap, forced proximity, and a guaranteed HEA.
CW: explicit content, captivity and coercion, organized-crime violence. No cheating, no cliffhanger.
