Underworld Kings

My father sold me off to a ruthless killer in the Russian mafia, an alliance between the Bratva and the Cosa Nostra.An arranged marriage where I'd be at the mercy of the man who'd no doubt see me as his property, where I was sure he'd be just as cruel and violent as every other Made Man I'd known in my life. Nikolai Petrov, known to be a sociopath and for killing anyone for the smallest infraction. And I'd be forever tied to him, an accessory he could use or dispose of any way he saw fit.And then I found myself painted red, my wedding dress stained in blood. A man dead by my husband's hands for simply touching my hair.I was terrified of the lengths Nikolai would go to get what he wanted… to keep me as his, but despite all of that I felt something far stronger, far more dangerous.Need. Want. Dark and depraved desire. And it was all for the man who said I was his.For better or worse.

From USA Today bestselling author Jenika Snow comes a new full-length standalone dark mafia romance set in the Underworld Kings world.The first time I met Dmitry Petrov, he was making a deal for my sister's hand in marriage with his brother.I should have hated him for that alone, but when he stopped my father from hitting me, my young heart felt something new and wonderful for the first time.It was this incurable sensation that consumed me at his protection.But he was nearly fifteen years older than me, more dangerous than any man I'd ever met, and only saw me as his sister-in-law's younger sibling.And when he was arrested and thrown into jail, five long years passed. I refused to give up the notion that one day he'd see me as a woman-a woman he wanted. So I wrote to him daily, confided in him, told him about what was going on in my life, what I hated and loved. I did this all in the hopes he'd write back, wishing he'd want me the way I wanted him.But year after year passed with no response. Until that changed. Until he wrote back. Dmitry was cruel and harsh, saying things that should have made me cry. Not make me want him more.I knew I was playing with fire, sending a criminal pictures of myself after my eighteenth birthday, thinking about him as I did private things alone in my room. But he was a virus deep inside of me, and there was no cure for what I had.And then my life completely changed when my brother tried to marry me off. I refused to be a pawn in the mafia world, and so my only option was to leave the only home I'd ever known.But when Dmitry's released from prison, I came face-to-face with the Russian mafia leader everyone fears. And he made one thing very clear.I'm his. He's taking me. And anyone who tries to stop him will die.

He was a monster, a killer, the type of man my brothers kept me away from.Gio, my sister-in-law's brother and the head of the West Coast Cosa Nostra, was family and off-limits. Maybe that was why I was so drawn to him. Violence and death clung to him like he was born in the pits of hell, and he thrived on it.Despite everything, I started a relationship with the devil himself, and I fell in love. I had to keep it a secret, knowing my brothers would kill Gio if they found out. But when I discovered I was pregnant, hiding it was impossible.To make matters worse, Gio and my brothers found themselves entangled with a dangerous new syndicate.It was a situation that threatened to ignite chaos and conflict, involving everyone I cared about.Including my new forbidden lover and the baby we were bringing into this hell on earth.
