Daniil Kozlov is the worst kind of monster. Sinfully gorgeous, wrapped in Hugo Boss and tattoos, underneath the surface he's a snake hiding behind a veneer of easy charm.
We come from the same underworld but couldn’t be more different. He’s second in line to the Kozlov Bratva, a powerful player in New York’s Russian mafia. I’m the niece of a Colombian cartel boss, desperate for a way out.
But after a game of high-stakes poker, I become his property.
His to use in any way he pleases.
His wife.
He seduces my body with his filthy words and dark promises, but he’ll never capture my heart.
What my new husband doesn’t know is that the only thing I care about is getting revenge on my family's killer. And I’ll take down anyone in my path. Even him.
***The Kozlov Empire is a series of interconnected standalone romance books about the sexy, morally gray Kozlov brothers. The books don't need to be read in order but it's way more fun if you do! This series has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
