Filthy Vow

A bratva pakhan who refuses to feel. A blood-debt husband forced to his side. One marriage neither can escape.

Nikolas Zakharov became pakhan six months ago, and the old guard is waiting for him to fail. He doesn't touch people. He doesn't feel. He can't afford either, not with his father's doctrine still running the empire from the grave.

Adrian Decker is a Boston EMT who inherited his dead father's blood debt to the Bratva and got sold as a husband to pay it off. He's never been with a man, never belonged anywhere. Now the coldest man in Boston feels like the first place he's ever been safe.

When a Zakharov shipment is hit, and the old guard needs someone to blame, suspicion lands on the husband nobody was supposed to want. Nikolas has one choice: the empire that raised him to feel nothing, or the man teaching him otherwise.

Forced into a marriage neither of them chose, obsession grows where fear once lived.
