"You know what a good girl would have done? A good girl would have stayed home instead of sneaking out of her father's compound just to get a man to fuck her. A good girl wouldn't have stabbed a man like me with a pen. And most of all, a good girl wouldn't be turned on by holding a gun to a man's chest." I lean closer to her. "You're no good girl, Ivanna."
"You… you're wrong."
"Go on then. Come on. Pull the trigger."

My name is Ivanna. I am the daughter of Misha Sidorov, the head of the Krasnoyarsk Bratva. I have just graduated and I’m about to go to college. My life is perfect until Sergio Sakharov comes into the picture. 
He is the darkness itself. He reigns over the entire Sakharov family and by extension, the Dvina River Vory Bratva. His word is law, and his desire is absolute. 
Everything changes in a split second when he steals me away and holds prisoner in Tyva, a bride for his only heir.
But Sergio doesn’t take no for an answer. He always gets whatever he wants and against all reason, he claims me for himself instead. He thinks I’m the perfect match for his desires and he is determined to keep me close, even if I fight him at every turn. 
Except, I’m no helpless pawn. I’m not innocent. I have tasted his dark side, and I want more. The don himself, the man they call the Volkov of Dvina River appeals to me in the most sinful of ways. His wickedness draws me in, and when he decides that he wants me, I’m helpless. I can’t resist him, even if it means giving myself to him.
He may think he has power over me and can control me every step of the way, but I’m about to show him who the real boss is.

Scars He Gave Me

<p>Over the next three weeks, life settles into a pretty normal pattern, or as normal as it can be expected to be when one is a mafia don's girlfriend. Yes. Girlfriend. I have come to convince myself that Sergio is my boyfriend because that is preferable than the actual situation. That I am his mistress. Everyone knows the truth, and the only person that I am fooling here is myself.</p>

<p>The inner lie however works on most days. Over the last few days, everyone on the estate has treated me with much kindness. Whatever I ask, I get. And I feel more like part of the family. The only person who hasn't quite warmed up to me is Maksim, and for some reason, I find that troubling, considering how close he is to Sergio. His attitude remains polite but a bit cold towards me. I keep telling myself that I don't care, but I still question why it digs under my skin like a splinter.</p>
