Bride of Silence: A Dark Bratva Rescue

Bride of Silence (Blood & Vows, Book 5)
by Cora J Riley

She was stolen to be broken.
He was ordered to claim her.
But some silences are more dangerous than screams.

Sofiya Ivanov was born Bratva royalty-and then she vanished.
Kidnapped, hidden, and brutalized by enemies who wanted to shatter her family's legacy, she learned how to survive by keeping her name a secret. For years, silence was her only weapon.

Now she's been rescued, but freedom comes with its own chains.
The mercenary she clung to in the darkness-Elias, the man with scarred knuckles and eyes like winter-is told he must marry her. An alliance on paper. A shield in blood. A convenient match that will make the wolves back off.

But Sofiya isn't a pawn.
And Elias isn't a man who bows to tradition.

Every glance between them is fire and fury. Every touch is temptation edged with violence. Together, they're a storm no one can control-but Bratva law is clear: to protect her, Elias must bind himself to her in name, body, and soul.

As enemies close in and old ghosts rise, Sofiya must decide whether to keep hiding behind silence... or risk her heart in the most dangerous vow of all.

A stolen Bratva princess.
A mercenary bound by honor.
A marriage that should never have been... and a love that could burn empires.
