My uncle traded me–and my virginity–as political collateral to a Bratva boss.

As a member of my senator uncle’s campaign team, I’m obligated to attend glitzy political fundraising events. At the last party, a tall, broad-shouldered man with tattoos peaking out from the cuffs and neckline of his tailored shirt watches me from the shadows. His piercing green gaze heats parts of my body no man has ever touched.

Rurik Kedrov is at least two decades older than me, and yet he haunts my hottest dreams and my darkest fantasies. But when I bump into him everywhere in real life–at my favorite cafe, outside my gym, even on a date with another man–I feel hunted and terrified.

And then he tells me I belong to him because my uncle traded me in return for a favor. Rurik now owns me.

When he showers me with gifts, and his wicked touch teaches my body delicious new pleasures, I almost believe he cares. But no matter how much he gilds my cage, it is still a prison, and I’ll do anything to escape.

But what if the price of freedom is to walk away from the man who’s stolen my heart?

Hunted and Bred by the Bratva is a scorching, age-gap mafia romance starring an over-possessive alpha hero and a virgin heroine with streak of defiance. Reader discretion advised.
