Read with BonusIntroduction
Straightening, I glared at her. “I think you forgot. I apparently need to remind you.”
“Forgot what?” She was caught between the pleasure and the pain.
“I am a monster. I’m bathed in blood. Molded by it. I’ve been in this filth for much longer than you have been alive, búsinka.”
Her eyes widened. “Marek…”
“You don’t get to run. You don’t get to think you are too damaged. That there is too much blood on your hands or that you are too soulless. I was there first. So don’t you dare shy away from me, zhena…”

Marek Baranov dedicated himself to his family and the Baranov Bratva. With three older brothers, no one expected him to marry for convenience or to tie the families together. So, he turned his focus to his work, both above ground and under.
When Rosaria Bernardi, daughter of their rival Don Carlo Bernardo, crashes into his world with a death wish, and other option comes to light. He, the only single male in the Baranov family, could make the enemy kneel by marrying their very own princess. There is more than just years of bad blood between them, though.
Despite their differences, the two find common ground in being raised by the underworld. A world forcing them to choose cruelty and blood over everything else. Marriage signed, the two come together and find an unlikely companionship that blossoms into something far more than either of them expected as the threats mount.
Together, they learn to lean on each other. Even when things get messy, bullets fly, and the blood on their hands feels too much to bear.

Please Please let me know of you do a sequel! Each character was brought to life. My heart broke, I cried, I laughed, I looked like a complete wierdo yelling and crying at my phone. I need more of M, R, A, L, L, and K. This cannot be it E must be taken out. A and the 2 must be safe from all sides of the family. (If you read the ending you will know what the first letters mean) I dont want to give spoilers. I loved this book. Hoping your other books are just as amazing!

I’ve never left a comment before, but this was great! I loved that not all of the Russian or Italian was translated. I couldn’t help but translate it separately, but it added to the excitement! and it definitely added to the dramatic effect of the feeling like you are in the situation and not understanding what is being said around you! It always wasn’t overused, which was great! I would’ve loved a sequel that followed the group on the run and their various stops! The dynamic between Ria and Marek is great and swoon worthy! and Ria and Lorenzo are hilarious! great job! I finished this in like 3 days! I couldn’t put it down
