HER SILVER FOX PAKHAN: An Age Gap, Bratva Romance

He swore to protect me. He never said he wouldn't destroy me first.He found me covered in my parents' blood. I was nineteen.Five years he kept me safe behind glass. Close enough to watch. Too far to touch.I told myself I imagined the way he looked at me.I didn't.Now a debt written in my father's blood has resurfaced. The only way to bury it is marriage.Not because a council demands it.Because he's done lying to both of us.I'm not afraid of the silver-haired Pakhan half this city fears.I never was.I'm done letting him hide behind guilt, a ring he calls a formality, and a title that was never supposed to mean forever.When the men who killed my parents come back to finish what they started, he has one choice.Keep pretending I'm someone he protects.Or burn his empire down to keep me.
