She was supposed to be his son’s ex. Instead, he made her his.
When Payton (h22) is ripped off the street and thrown into a van, she knows exactly who’s behind it. But it’s not her ex-boyfriend Ivan who shows up to claim her. It’s Feliks (H44), his father, the powerful, cold man who runs the Bratva from the shadows. She should be terrified. She is. But fear quickly tangles with something else.
Feliks wants her out of the way. That was the plan. But the more time he spends with Payton, the harder it is to pretend he doesn’t want to keep her for himself. She’s sharp, fearless, and nothing like he expected. When secrets unravel and danger closes in, Feliks doesn’t just protect her. He claims her. Not as a prisoner. As his wife.
What starts as captivity turns into something deeper. A marriage forged by survival, trust, and raw emotion. Together they face betrayal, blood ties, and the violent past catching up to them both. When her missing sister is finally found, it threatens to pull them into even darker territory, unless Feliks and Payton can hold the line between power and love.
Payton evolves from a wary and resourceful young woman into someone who finds strength in vulnerability and trust, while Feliks shifts from a hardened, solitary mafia boss to a man willing to open his heart and change his world for love. Both characters confront their pasts and fears to grow into more complete versions of themselves. Their relationship moves from captor and captive to equal partners, built on trust, protection, and deep emotional connection.
A steamy, age gap, enemies to lovers, Bratva romance, exploring love, power, protection, trust, transformation, redemption, control, loyalty, identity, and family. It's about trust earned under pressure, love that refuses to break, and two people who never expected to choose each other.

Best kidnapping ever.
Being kidnapped by a hot a sin, rich, mafia boss that happens to be your ex-boyfriend’s dad? Sounds good. He takes you to his very own private tropical island? Even better. Then he marries you? This is what I’m talking about!
A great addition to this little series. I can’t wait to read Taylor’s story as soon as it’s released.

Another fun Evie Rose book.

Bratva’s Stolen Bride is Book 1 of the Obsessed Bratva Bosses series. It's a steamy, instalove with an enemies-to-lovers vibe, forced-proximity, kidnapping, age-gap, Dom-sub lite, curvy virgin gets her bratva kingpin mafia romance. Payton is a 21-year-old smart, sassy, and curvy girl. Feliks is the 44-year-old hunky father of her evil ex-boyfriend Ivan. Feliks ends up kidnapping Payton and taking her to a private island to protect her from his evil offspring. She makes some stupid decisions, with good intentions, and he ends up marrying her to keep her safe, plus he just wants her. The chemistry between these two was intense. Throw in some primal play, orgasm denial, and other kinky fun and you have a hot read. We do get a happy ending after a lot of danger and drama.

This story ties in loosely with the London Mafia Syndicate series books, as Payton is Hayley's sister (FMC from previous book). Feliks is a protective, posessive, incredibly dominant Alpha male character, as is seemingly customary of all the kingpins in London. To protect her from his son he takes her to his private island, she just didn't know he was planning the trip. Oops! From there it's a dance of tension, boundary lines, concern for safety, a hunt for revenge/retribution, and watching people from different worlds realize they fit like a glove. Despite the sparks flying, there is danger circling that means to destroy what has been built. It will take some fast thinking, and faster action to prevent bloodshed and achieve a HEA.

We met twenty-one year old Payton Love, whose the youngest of the Love sisters in the previous book Bratva’s Secret Girl with her eldest sister Hayley and Bratva kingpin Maxim. Hayley was the responsible older sister working to take care of herself and Payton. Payton almost got her sister raped and killed by her ex-boyfriend Ivan at the diner where she works at but Maxim saved her just in time before he and his five friends could have done the deed. Ivan is bad news and Hayley warned Payton about seeing him and taking his expensive gifts. Ivan is into some serious trouble with a dangerous man name Camden. He gave Payton all those things and when she wouldn't put out he demanded his things back. But she broke up with him, so he and four of his friends went to the diner where her sister Hayley works at looking for her. And when he didn't find her he proceed to threatens her life. But he and his friend's life ended in a bloody massacre by Maxim, who was her boss, secret admirer and mob boss of the London Mafia Syndicate.
Payton was walking to school when she was abducted and thrown into a van and a bag was over her face and was restrain. She thought that it was Ivan after they fight the day before. It wasn't until she was transferred into a limo where she came face-to-face with a man with the face like her ex-boyfriend. It was Feliks Rykov, her ex-boyfriend's dad. He's the head of the Beckenham Bratva, and he's a feared Bratva mafia boss with a reputation for being unhinged with brutality. He didn't took her for what she thought. Feliks abduct her for her own safety against his son to save her from his torture and brutality. As soon as she laid eyes on him she immediately started shaking because she knew that her life was in danger from all the rumors that she heard about the man around town and from his son. Feliks was surprised on how beautiful she was. He knows that his son shares the same taste in women, but he didn't expect it or that his girlfriend would be so utterly gorgeous. She stole his breath and wits away. She turned him on even though she was dressed in a simple pair of jeans and plain top. Her beauty called at something deep inside his chest and call he could do was snarl mine.
He knows that he can't steal his sons girlfriend away that would be immoral even by his standards. He tells her that she was not seeing him again and that he needed her out of the way and she was leaving London. She knew that this would devastate Hayley but Feliks didn't gave her a choice in the matter. And when she said Mr. Rykov his cock couldn't help but to twitch. He have been alone for decades, haven't fuck anyone in years and have never been in loved before but oh boy do he want this girl.
Payton wanted to escape and will do anything and promise him anything to let her go. She was his Moya lisichka a.k.a. my little fox. Even though she wanted to escape she also attracted and drawn to him and felt a warmed in her tummy. This is a feeling that she has never felt before and when she sees his cock growing under her touch she felt powerful as if she was in control of the situation and not him being in control. Payton didn't know the type of problem that she was in with Ivan and when he told her that his son was using her as a decoy for his other activities of torturing people for fun and human trafficking she was sick as well as which was to kill someone she was shocked. Rykov intention was to take her to his private island then come back to London and deal with his spawn. He was so taken by her that he couldn't bare to be away from her to hunt his son down and kill him.
He knew that by taking her would cause a war between London Mafia Syndicate but the more time that he spent with her he couldn't see himself being without her and would kill anyone who took her away from him. She's mine. Mine to protect. Mine to care for. Mine to pleasure until she's wrung out and exhausted. Rykov had also bring out a darkness in her that she never knew that expected. Rykov had been telling Payton that she could not contact her sister since they got to the island because of fear that Ivan might find them. And when she answered her phone for Hayley's call and he saw Maxim, mafia boss of the London Mafia Syndicate and member of the Maths Club standing next her he was mad and knew that he had to punish her. Put the white dress on he snaps as he pulls on a pair of pale tan linen trousers. Her punishment was them getting married before they come rescue her. Because once they were married he wasn't about to let them take his Moya lisichka. Payton didn't want to leave him either because she was in love with him even though it had only been a day. They started a beautiful journey filled with lust, longing and tension. Another great addition to the series.

Another great love story from the London Maths Club, and Im definitely obsessed by Bratva bosses.I love how Payton is really smart and creative and that Feliks finds the attraction so unexpected and a little forbidden. I must say out of all the Maths club and associates Feliks is Hot!��� The sexual chemistry is great, and he falls hard. The romance is swoony, and the spice is sizzling, so everything you need. Can't wait for the next one.

The book wasn’t bad. I was really excited to read it, since it was an ex-boyfriend’s dad romance with a virgin heroine and I don’t find nearly enough of those stories. The opening was great, with Payton’s kidnapping and her first introduction to Feliks. I was pumped to see where everything would go.
However, when the two of them got to the island, the story really slowed down. The synopsis had mentioned the island and whatnot, so it did make sense that the book would take such a turn. I just thought it leaned a bit too heavily into that theme. It felt less like a “Bratva” romance and more like a “romantic island getaway” romance. I kept wanting to see more Bratva action included, but there just wasn’t much there. Basically, the story felt like “romantic island getaway romance . . . oh, by the way, he’s also Bratva.”
I also got rather irritated with Payton. I understood her general wish to escape her kidnapping, and her attempts to contact her worried sister. But it did come across at times as if she didn’t care about the seriousness of the situation. Very early into the story, Feliks explained to her what was happening and why; therefore, Payton, very early on, was made to know what was at stake. So her constant obsession with contacting her sister, knowing what a risk it posed, seemed somewhat silly. I think it probably would’ve worked better if Feliks hadn’t told Payton, so early on, what was happening. If Payton had been more ignorant to what she and her family were facing, her behavior probably would’ve seemed more reasonable.
Nevertheless, I did enjoy the story, overall. I really liked that Feliks wasn’t in denial about what a terrible person his son was. Often, in books like this, I’ll see the parents viewing their kids through rose-colored glasses. Feliks wasn’t that way at all; he knew perfectly well what a nightmare his son was, and he didn’t care to put up with it. He also was really possessive of Payton, as he should’ve been. And Payton herself, despite the flaws I mentioned above, was a good person. She wasn’t full of herself, and she truly cared about her sisters. So I’ll give the book 3 ½ stars.

"To discover that half my soul is in an innocent girl is as shocking and the feeling that so long as she comes, it doesn't matter if I don't."~Feliks
"This man feels as essential to me as air, water, my sisters, and my eReader."~Payton
Payton Love is only 21 but being kidnapped by her unhinged ex-boyfriend's much older Father, a Russian Bratva, took her by surprise. Well. Slightly.😂 Feliks Rykov, 44, is tall, has an accent, salt and pepper hair, ocean blue eyes, and is built better than most men half his age. He's overprotective, smart, and will do anything for her. Payton is kind of bratty, an innocent brat, but she's attracted to the man. Could he be interested in her too? Also, Payton is Hailey's little sister, Hailey's story is called Bratva's Secret Girl. They both can be read as standalones. Now what will happen when on a 🏝️secret island🏝️, owned by Feliks, the sparks fly and flirting takes their connection in a brand new direction? It got spicy.🔥👙🏖️🩳🔥The bantering alone.
This is a short, OTT, insta-love, age gap kind of taboo romance. Ivan, Payton's ex, wasn't really around in the story. He's off page. He wasn't a nice person. He was a cruel manipulator. Even his Father was going to deal with him. In case you're thinking eww that's Felik's son, yes, true, but Ivan and Payton were never really together. Not in that way. I think they dated and Payton broke up with him. And Feliks knew that Ivan was going to hurt Payton so he took her away to his island home. But Payton wants to talk to her sister. Will this alert Ivan? And the London Maths Club? That's a mafia syndicate btw.😉 Might as well get married! The epilogue was hilarious and cute. Still chasing each other. Feliks loves to chase his moya lisichka.🦊 I liked Feliks. He's very devoted. Payton's goofy. Happy reading.*•>§<•*💙💙💙

'She’s as compelled as I am by this ridiculous situation, and brave. So brave.
Even unaware that I’d rather turn this knife against myself than actually hurt her, she’s not moving.
She’s my match. This girl who is young and innocent and forbidden, and whom I only intended to protect from my son.
Moreover, I feel. For a man who has spent his life not caring for anyone or anything, this is unheard of. It’s exhilarating. It’s terrifying.
I think she’ll need protection from me.'
I loved this book. It was such a fun romance. Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved both Payton and Feliks. It was refreshing as the heroine didn't previously know and desire him prior to their meeting at the start of the book- as is more the norm in Evie's mafia/bratva romances.
The story is fast-paced from the start as she's kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend's Bratva boss father. She thinks it's revenge from their last argument. He kidnapped her to protect her from his son, but now that he's seen her, he wants her for his own. I liked that he's hesitant over the boundary between not trying anything with his son's ex, and wanting the innocent woman who's inspired him to feel and want for the first time in so many years.
The chemistry between them sizzled. She was as powerfully attracted to him as he was to her, and what started as a means to escape alive turned into something she actually wanted regardless. I liked that she opened up to him to explain her situation- and how she would still be a virgin as the girlfriend of the won of a bratva boss. This is the sister of the heroine of the previous book, and we've seen Ivan before at the beginning of that one. I loved that connection, and her motives for accepting his gifts. I liked how Feliks opened up to her as well and we learn more about what's going on. And suspense over Ivan.
I loved the dynamic between them and the way their relationship developed. An exciting read. 5 stars
Even unaware that I’d rather turn this knife against myself than actually hurt her, she’s not moving.
She’s my match. This girl who is young and innocent and forbidden, and whom I only intended to protect from my son.
Moreover, I feel. For a man who has spent his life not caring for anyone or anything, this is unheard of. It’s exhilarating. It’s terrifying.
I think she’ll need protection from me.'
I loved this book. It was such a fun romance. Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved both Payton and Feliks. It was refreshing as the heroine didn't previously know and desire him prior to their meeting at the start of the book- as is more the norm in Evie's mafia/bratva romances.
The story is fast-paced from the start as she's kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend's Bratva boss father. She thinks it's revenge from their last argument. He kidnapped her to protect her from his son, but now that he's seen her, he wants her for his own. I liked that he's hesitant over the boundary between not trying anything with his son's ex, and wanting the innocent woman who's inspired him to feel and want for the first time in so many years.
The chemistry between them sizzled. She was as powerfully attracted to him as he was to her, and what started as a means to escape alive turned into something she actually wanted regardless. I liked that she opened up to him to explain her situation- and how she would still be a virgin as the girlfriend of the won of a bratva boss.

Another excellent book by Evie Rose! Bratva’s Stolen Bride is one of three books dedicated to stories about the Love sisters: Hayden, Taylor and Peyton. This story immediately immersed me in the story and was written so well that I did not want the story to end. Peyton Love was on her way to university when she was suddenly kidnapped. For her own good. Uh, huh. That’s what Feliks, the head of the Beckenham Bratva, said anyway. Peyton is a sweet and naïve virgin that had just broken up with her boyfriend Ivan, who she did not know was the son of a Bratva pakhan, because he had suddenly changed. He had been showering her with gifts, and Peyton had sold the gifts to help with living expenses. When Peyton broke up with Ivan, he demanded the gifts back or to be reimbursed for them. Feliks found out his son Ivan was in trouble and had been taking it out on Peyton, so he kidnapped her to keep her safe. He didn’t mean to, but he found himself taking her personally to his private island. The book describes their obsessive, possessive, instalove, smexxy relationship, and how their relationship develops.
The book is a steamy, dark, mafia, age-gap, father of the ex, romance that features a well-crafted storyline. Rose excels with character development and world building. The meeting of Feliks and Peyton and the members of the London Mafia Syndicate, when they tried to storm the island, was the highlight of the book. Rose has a way of writing the Kingpins to be a combination of sweet and brutal and makes it believable. The name LMC and Its origin is so funny. Their meeting with first the standoff and then the gathering after was my favorite part of the story. I could not stop laughing. The author’s descriptive prose is so good you feel like you are in the moment with the characters. Overall, this is another fantastic book by Rose, and I definitely recommend it.

This book delivered an incredibly compelling and captivating romance with a unique twist! From the moment Payton is pulled into a limo by men speaking Russian, she immediately suspects her ex, Ivan. However, the true surprise comes when she realizes it's not Ivan, but his enigmatic and charming father, Feliks, who is behind her abduction.
Feliks's intentions are quickly revealed: he needs Payton out of the way, not to harm her, but to protect her from his own son. He explains his shocking plan to the intriguing Payton – he intends to eliminate Ivan and needs her safely out of the picture.
What follows is a fascinating journey filled with intense discussions between Payton and Feliks, culminating in a flight to a stunning private island. The development of their relationship is beautifully crafted, and the way Feliks first declares his love is utterly swoon-worthy. It's the kind of declaration that makes you feel like the world could crumble, and you wouldn't care!
While the story is undeniably "mafia-lite" with a morally grey hero, it never feels overly dark or truly grim. The author masterfully balances the intense premise with a compelling romantic narrative that keeps you engaged. This was a truly great read, and I'm eagerly looking forward to more from this new series, especially Taylor's upcoming book!
Some of my favorite lines from Bratva’s Stolen Bride:
Feliks said I was his, and I went against his express instructions.
I’m not his good girl.
“Put the white dress on,” he snaps as he pulls on a pair of pale tan linen trousers.
Strange thought. This man feels as essential to me as air, water, my sisters and my e-reader.

Evie’s mafia romances never disappoint and this sizzling opener to a brand-new series is no exception. Expect some delightful crossovers from familiar faces, but make no mistake, this is Feliks and Payton’s story through and through. True to Evie’s trademark alpha style, Feliks doesn’t wait for permission, he just takes action. When Payton finds herself in danger from her unhinged ex (who also happens to be Feliks’s son—talk about drama!), Feliks sweeps in, snatches her off the street, and spirits her away to his private tropical island. Cue the sand, surf, and scorching tension. Once Payton realizes Feliks isn’t a threat but her unexpected protector, the walls come down and the chemistry lights up. She soon discovers that being held captive by a brooding, gorgeous older man might not be the nightmare she feared. In fact, she’s never felt safer… or more tempted. And let’s talk about the London Maths Club—I mean, the London Mafia Syndicate. Their dramatic rescue mission had me grinning, especially when they claimed they don’t condone kidnapping, even though half of them met their soulmates that exact same way. Classic. If you’re craving mafia romance without the unrelenting darkness, Evie’s got you covered. Her mafia-lite stories are the perfect blend of sweet, sexy, and just the right amount of danger. For a fast-paced, feel-good escape, I can’t recommend her books enough.

Feliks and Payton
“Bratva’s Stolen Bride” is book one of Evie Rose’s series called Obsessed Bratva Bosses. Bratva boss Feliks is instantly attracted to Payton from the moment they are together. Feliks is Payton’s ex-boyfriend’s father, meaning this is an age gap, taboo, dark romance. For Payton’s safety, Feliks kidnapped her and the two ended up on Feliks’s private tropical island. Feliks was protecting Payton from his sadistic son. This fast moving novella is told from the perspective of both major characters. I enjoyed this story very much. I liked both characters, especially Payton because she was strong willed, smart, and passionate. The chemistry between Payton and Feliks was obvious from the start and grew from there. Their intimacy is passionate, erotic, and scorching hot. I was glad to see the transformative effect Payton had on Feliks. The plot was well thought out. This can be read as a standalone, however Payton does have two other sisters who tangle with their own Bratva boss. Definitely recommended for lovers of the dark romance genre.

OMG, I loved this!!
This is book one in the author’s new Obsessed Bratva Bosses series, interconnected with her London Mafia Bosses series, and it’s so. Amazingly good!!!
I LOVE mafia romances where the (morally gray) hero is this big ol’ softie when it comes to his woman but strikes terror into the hearts of everyone else! That one trope combines some of my most favorite MMC attributes: obsessive, possessive, protective, cinnamon roll hero, touch her and be unalived… (I know there are others but that’s all I can think of right off the top of my head but you get the idea) and this author writes some of the absolute BEST!! Feliks is a prime example of (my kind of) mafia perfection and the way he was with Payton will live rent free in my head for a while to come… at least until we get Hayley and Payton’s sister Taylor’s book.
For readers who enjoy mafia romance and instalove, this book is a must read!! And if you haven’t already read all the London (Math’s Club—I still get a kick out of that!) Mafia Bosses books, you need to, like, NOW! 5++ stars!!.

This novella is pure spicy fantasy wrapped in silk and tied with a velvet rope. If you like your quick reads completely unhinged (in the best way), this one delivers. Feliks is the ultimate morally gray antihero, a possessive Bratva boss who kidnaps his son’s ex-girlfriend and whisks her away to a private island. From there, it's a whirlwind of edge-play, beach chases, primal lust, and a surprise wedding setup that somehow works.
Payton is sweet, inexperienced, and surprisingly bold once the clothes start flying. The Dom and brat dynamic is front and center, but there’s real heart tucked into the heat. Feliks is unreasonably hot and wildly obsessed, and their chemistry is instant and explosive.
This book does not waste time. The pacing is tight, the tension stays high, and the spice is absolutely off the charts. It’s not realistic, and that’s the point. You read this to blush, kick your feet, and grin like a maniac.
If "virgin heroine accidentally marrying her ex’s dad on a tropical beach" sounds like your thing, you're in for a good time.

4.5 rounded up!
I loved this Daddy! He was possessive, obsessive, and everything I wanted from an ex-boyfriend's romance. Feliks was the older man I would like to have chase me, and those spice scenes were everything, but his showing his emotions and his love made me a little weak in the knees.
Payton’s reactions and feelings were so valid. I wanted her to give in immediately, but...she has been kidnapped by the mafia...and that IS serious, so of course my girl would try and run, even from this Zaddy of a man. But once she gave in, sparks flew, and I was the happiest girl!
Thank you, Evie, for this e-arc! I can't wait to keep reading about your mafia men and especially about this lost ballerina getting rescued...coming soon, I hope!
Quotes:
Something deep in my chest snarls mine.
I can't steal her from my son. That's immoral even by my standards, isn't it?
"It's only you and me here, and you being a little brat won't change that you aren't just in my power. You're in my kingdom. You can't run, or hide, or escape. You're my prisoner, and I can do anything I like to you."
"Can you be a good girl for me now and take my whole cock?"
However good I imagined Payton would feel when she submitted to me, this is better.
"I want you to be my wife, my slut, my whore, my goddess. Everything to me."

Bratva’s Stolen Bride is Payton Love’s story that reveals what happened to the sister of Hayley from Bratva’s Secret Girl who went missing. Now we know why she disappeared and of course a Mafia boss is involved who just happens to be her Ex boyfriend Ivan’s father.
Felik Rykov thinks he is protecting Payton by getting her away from his messed up son. Payton thinks he is out to just get rid of her for breaking up with said son.
Misunderstandings aside it soon becomes apparent that Felik is very much attracted to Payton despite their twenty year age gap, and she to him.
They end up on his private island where things really start to heat up between them, both sweet and spicy.
Loved the story with it’s engaging writing and as always characters who pull the reader into a very highly entertaining contemporary romance. HEA.

“Being a mafia boss is hard… I deserve stickers.”
Another fun, satisfying read from one of my go-to authors. As usual, Evie delivers everything I love—an older mafia boss (Feliks) who’s soft only for his girl (Peyton), witty banter, and just the right amount of heat.
The only reason this was a 4-star read instead of 5 for me was the pacing in the first part of the book and the execution of the chase scene. The connection between the main characters felt a little rushed—perhaps due to how the story opens—and the stakes around the chase didn’t feel fully grounded. That said, once the story finds its rhythm, it really picks up steam (in every sense). The chemistry deepens, the emotional connection lands, and the ending is perfect—especially if you're a fan of the Maths Club.
Overall, a great continuation of the Love sisters saga, and I'm looking forward to Taylor’s story!.

Evie Rose delivers again with another addictive, swoon-worthy mafia romance. I’m a sucker for morally gray, age-gap, “touch-her-and-die” tropes—and this one checks every box. Feliks, the ex-boyfriend’s dad and Bratva boss, is perfection: intense, possessive, and unexpectedly soft with Payton. And Payton? She’s sweet, smart and resilient.
Their chemistry is instant and electric, with just the right mix of danger, tension, forbidden desire and steamy moments. The kidnapping-for-safety plot is wild but oddly romantic, and watching Feliks fall hard and fast was everything.
As always, the London Maths Club made their appearance—and I loved seeing them continue to pop up across the series. Their dynamic adds a bit of fun to these stories.
If you love fast-paced, steamy romances with protective antiheroes and emotional heat, this one won’t disappoint. I devoured it.

When Payton is kidnapped off the street by Russian speaking men, she thinks it is her ex-boyfriend. Her ex – Ivan - is the son of a Bratva mafia boss and has gotten in over his head with his criminal activities. The kidnapper turns out to be his father Feliks Rykov. He flies her out to a private tropical island to keep her safe while he deals with his son. Before too long he shows Payton how much he wants her and how much pleasure he can give her. I don’t understand why he did not tell her the danger communicating with her sister could bring and when her sister and her mafia boyfriend came to rescue her it was a lot of silly posturing which could have been resolved before any threat of a shoot-out. I felt I was missing information from previous stories, would have liked a book order list of characters from other series that seem to have appeared here.

This is what I'm talking about! A man who takes what he wants and a lady who would rather he curb his instincts. Well, not after she gets to know him, lol. The writing is done well and I was pulled right into the story and empathized with our h.
She is taken and can't help feelings that grow, just like him.
He was a tough man but he softened for her and I love that about my H in stories. She did what she could and I don't blame her for surviving the very best she could. He gives up on not pushing it when it comes to her because he can't hide his feelings, the girl has caught his eyes and his heart. I am usually not an age gap but Evie's books are done so well. They really do share some great chemistry and had an interesting path to their love.

Bratva’s Stolen Bride by Evie Rose is a wild, fast, and delightfully over-the-top mafia romance 🔥🌴. The story throws you right into the action when the heroine is kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend’s father, a brooding and ridiculously hot Bratva boss, and whisked away to his private island. From there, it’s pure fantasy fun—forced marriage vibes, tropical beach wedding, Dom/brat chemistry, and all the heat you could want 😏💍.
This novella is a quick, guilty-pleasure read for anyone who loves age-gap romance, obsessive alpha heroes, and a tropical escape with plenty of spice. It doesn’t pretend to be realistic, but if you’re here for playful danger, over-the-top possessiveness, and pure escapist fun, this one will make you blush and kick your feet 💖✨.

It doesn’t pretend to be realistic, but if you’re here for playful danger, over-the-top possessiveness, and pure escapist fun, this one will make you blush and kick your feet 💖✨.
