Fierce Pursuit by Zoe Blake

I’m the only one standing between her and those who want her dead.

I was married to her sister—a woman who died in the crossfire of my Russian mafia world.

To her, I’m nothing but a monster with blood-stained hands.

She doesn’t see they’re the same hands keeping her alive.

She’s fled from me repeatedly, each escape bringing her closer to the enemies hunting us both.

The hatred burning in her eyes only matches the forbidden heat igniting between us.

The rival bratva won’t stop until she’s eliminated.

My solution? Make her mine—a marriage placing her untouchably under my protection.

She fights me at every turn, fierce and beautiful in her rage, blaming me for her sister’s death and her shattered life—she can never learn the truth.

As danger closes in, I’m torn between my vow to protect her and the desperate hunger that consumes me whenever she’s near.

When an ambush leaves her bleeding in my arms, everything changes.

This marriage isn’t negotiable anymore.

She’ll wear my ring and bear my name.

She’ll be mine, even if I have to break her to keep her.
