I was supposed to marry a billionaire. Instead, I ran. On the night of my wedding, I fled the church, stole the first car I could find, and crashed straight into the life of Vladimir Aleksandr—the most feared mafia boss in Europe. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. The kind of man whose name makes powerful people tremble. I thought stealing his car was the worst mistake of my life. I was wrong. Because Vladimir refuses to let me go. While the man I ran from is determined to drag me back, Vladimir claims he’s only protecting me. But the longer I stay in his world of danger, secrets, and bloodshed, the harder it becomes to ignore the attraction burning between us. I know I should fear him. I know I should run. But every time his gray eyes meet mine, every warning I ever gave myself begins to disappear. Then a deadly betrayal ignites a war that puts a target on my back. Now I’m trapped between a billionaire who believes he owns me, a mafia king willing to burn the world to keep me safe. And when secrets from the past threaten everything we’ve built, I must decide whether to walk away from the darkness… Or become the Mafia’s Stolen Bride.

My life fell apart the day my fiancé walked away. With crushing debts, a critically ill mother, and no hope left in sight, I was forced to make an impossible choice when billionaire Adrian Blackwood offered me a contract marriage worth more money than I had ever seen. The rules were simple: Marry him for one year, play the role of his wife, ask no questions. But the moment I stepped into the Blackwood estate, I realized there was nothing simple about Adrian Blackwood. Behind his cold gray eyes lay dangerous secrets. Behind the walls of his luxurious mansion were locked doors, whispered conversations, and mysteries no one dared to explain. And when a photograph from my late father's past reveals a connection to Adrian's family, I begin to uncover truths that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. What started as a business arrangement soon becomes something far more complicated. Because the closer I get to my husband, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings growing between us. And the more I learn about the man I married, the more I realize that my heart may be in greater danger than my life. In a world of wealth, secrets, and betrayal, can love survive the truth? Or will the prison built from silk and gold become my downfall?
