About this audiobook
Maksim Zharov takes the enemy's daughter as leverage. Vera Tarasova plans to use captivity to expose the traitor inside her own family.
Maksim is the Zharov bratva's enforcer, the brother sent to finish wars with his hands. Vera has spent her life as her father's diplomat, messenger, and bargaining piece. When her father refuses to trade for her, the man holding her prisoner becomes the only person who sees her as more than an asset.
The ledgers say they need each other. Their families say choosing each other is treason. Together they can end the war, expose the person who started it, or give both bratva houses a reason to kill them.
Book 2 of The Zharov Brothers. Enemies to lovers, captor and hostage, forbidden romance, and a guaranteed HEA.
CW: explicit content, captivity, organized-crime violence, grief and family death. No cheating, no cliffhanger.
