"You will marry me." "I would rather die." "That can be arranged." ---- Catalina Sofia Reyes was never meant to be part of her family's business. Shielded from violence by her father and adored by three overprotective brothers, she lived her life as the untouchable daughter of one of Mexico's most powerful cartel leaders. Until her family made a mistake that placed a debt on their heads. A debt the Bratva refused to forgive. Instead of blood or territory, they demanded something far more personal. Her. Forced into marriage with Mikhail Ivanovich Petrov - the cold, calculating heir to a Russian empire that has been at war with her family for years - Catalina becomes a living payment for a crime she did not commit. She refuses to be his wife. He refuses to release what he is owed. Taken into a world where loyalty is enforced and weakness is fatal, Catalina refuses to become a symbol of surrender. She keeps her distance, her anger, and her allegiance to the family that traded her away. Mikhail does not want her love. He wants control, stability, and a living reminder that the Reyes cartel owes him. But power shifts inside a marriage built on debt. As Catalina learns the rules of the Bratva and Mikhail begins to treat her as something more than a payment, their alliance becomes dangerous to everyone around them - especially the families who are still waiting for war. Because if the cartel princess and the Bratva heir choose each other, the balance of power between two empires will change forever. And in their world, love is not just a risk. It is a threat. ---- Best rankings: #4 Cartel 22/5/26 #5 Cartel 20/5/26 #3 Darksecrets 27/5/26 # 4 Captivity 24/6/26 #1 Russian Mafia 27/6/26 #1 Bratva 27/6/26 #5 Captivity 27/6/26 #6 Cartel 27/6/26 #7 dark secrets 27/6/26

Peach McCoy It's fun to dance with the devil until he drops you during a leap. At first, I'd thought this devil was none other than the Don of the Russian Bratva, Viktor Makarovich. He was hunting me down for hacking into his mafia's secret network and knowing a little too much about his little illegal fraternity. He caught me, I escaped and this was the dance I thought would get me killed but someone wants us both dead now. The beat of the music has changed and we have to dance together and not against each other if we want to find the guilty party and be alive to tell the tale. There's something about Viktor that lights a spark in me I thought was long gone. The thing is, what I wish we could have cannot happen while we move to what might be the end of our song. I'm smart and I can figure out how to hack into anything I want but for some reason... I only want to know The Code To A Don's Heart. Viktor Makarovich I was just supposed to track down a hacker. It was my way to get away from the Bratva for a while because since my dad and older brother were dead, the mafia was mine. I didn't want it. I just wanted to hunt, kill and protect under someone else's rule but... things have changed. The woman I thought I was going to kill somehow became my only accomplice. Someone wants me- us- dead and I'm sure I know who but the deeper I dig into the affairs of what is now my Bratva, the more unsure I become. The connection I feel to Peach isn't helping. For the first time in what seems like forever, I'm more focused on keeping her alive than myself. She challenges me, pushes me to my limits and being around her is more of a high than I've ever felt on a hunt. She doesn't know it but that great mind of hers, in her words, is finding The Code To A Don's Heart.

"I only wanted to watch the story unfold... not become part of it." One morning, I awoke not as myself, but as a minor side character in my favorite novel-the quiet daughter of a Count destined to fade into the background. My plan was simple: stay out of trouble and enjoy the view as the heroine and her destined lover blossomed before my eyes. But fate had other ideas. The cold, dangerous Crown Prince-the very villain fated to bring chaos-set his sights on me. Now, instead of peacefully watching the love story I once adored, I find myself trapped in a dangerous game of obsession, desire, and a future that was never written in the book.
