The Vulture's Captive

"By day, he is the cold-blooded monster who rules the Chicago syndicate, and she is the fierce heiress who refuses to bow. By night, the masks shatter." Aurelia Vance was traded to the Bratva as a human lien—a pawn to settle her bankrupt family’s multi-million-dollar debt. Viktor Volkov, the ruthless Pakhan known as The Vulture, expected a terrified trophy wife to break in his gilded cage. He expected submission. Instead, he got a platinum-haired storm with violet eyes who looked at a loaded gun and dared him to pull the trigger. Trapped in a world of blood, mafia politics, and a marriage built on chains, Aurelia vows to burn his empire to the ground. But Viktor didn't spend years engineering her downfall just to let her go. He wants her broken, he wants her defiant, and above all, he wants her to love the monster who stole her life.
