LOGINTavisha Khushanov is a spoiled, protected third-generation Russian/American Bratva Princess. Whatever the Princess wanted, she was given by the hard, muscled men of her father's Bratva. He is the Pakhan, their Leader; his word is law, and he administers it brutally. It's a small, tight community set in the heart of Houston, Texas. Outsiders are not welcome and actively discouraged. Killian O'Hara is a third-generation Irish/American, the leader of The Oasis Blues Motorcycle Club, situated in Galveston, Texas. They have been dealing with the Houston Bratva for decades. Their fathers and grandfathers worked together, keeping the peace and always having each other's backs. When Pavel Khushanov decides to double-cross the Bikers, involving the FBI and CIA and gets Killian arrested. War is declared, and Tavisha becomes collateral damage, a hostage to her name, but she is not what Killian expects.

Almost immediately, his little sister Jayanne-Melissa, already becoming a stunning beauty with her mother's pale ash blonde hair and my brilliant blue eyes, panted out of breath. She was only nine years old and didn't have her brother's long legs, and she had her small arms crossed over her chest, pouting miserably.'Not fair, he always gets to tell you first.'Tears shone in her beautiful eyes, and I instantly stood and swung her into my arms, kissing the top of her head.'Should I break his legs so you will be able to beat him?'She giggled prettily as I strode towards the villa's main doors. 'Don't be silly, Daddy, you can't hurt Jean-Paul, that would be mean.'My heart
I stood in the doorway watching the man I had loved with all my heart shatter into a million pieces as he held the court papers and his eyes lifted to mine, tears streaming down his cheeks. 'Are you really going through with this? After everything we meant to each other?'I stared at him, the ice around my heart sealing it shut at his words.'You should have thought of that before you stripped me of everything, Maxime. You did this. You destroyed us. I hope you can sleep at night.'I turned and walked slowly up to my room. I was so weak I could barely stand, but the thought of food had me bending over the toilet, heaving my stomach up. Looking down at the family, something inside me withered and died. What was the point of fighting them?
'No, Maxime, you don't love me. You don't even respect me. I am not your equal because I am a woman. You have taken away my autonomy, my basic rights as a human being. You think this is because of my 'hormones', because I am ' hysterical.' You believe you can force your will onto mine because you are bigger and stronger and you know what is best. So, go ahead, kick down the door; it's your house after all, I am just your reluctant prisoner. You will be hearing from my lawyer directly; until then, I would be grateful if you left me alone.'She turned and went back into her room, leaving me with my heart shattered into a million pieces.'How could this have happened? Only this morning we had made love and talked about asking my parents to watch Jean-Paul while we went to Paris for a long weekend.'When the Supreme Commander had ordered me down to the clinic, I never in a million years expected to find Tavisha there about to abort our unborn child. All I knew was that I had to stop her
It could only happen to me.I was absolutely furious, but Maxime was delighted.The first time we had sex after I had birthed Jean-Paul, I conceived again. I did not want this baby. When I began to feel unwell in the mornings and took the test, I stared at the two lines in disbelief.'No, no way could this be happening to me. Not again.'I thought angrily. I wanted my life back. I had just started training again with the Unit, and this was going to spoil everything. Without telling Maxime, I made an appointment at the clinic under my maiden name. Nobody needed to know. I would have other babies in the future after a suitable lapse of time; I was only twenty-two, plenty of time to get pregnant again. It never occurred to me to share my decision; as far as I was concerned, what people did not know could not hurt them.
Getting back to the compound, I head for my room, feeling angry and frustrated.I do not want to marry a stranger, and I have tried everything to lose my damn virginity so I can prevent it, but my guards are used to my tantrums and always manage to cut me off before any 'damage' is done. I am not
The nightclub was bouncing.Solaris was the newest, hippest place to be.Anybody who was anybody was here for tonight's opening.'So, where else would I, Tavisha Khushanov, spoiled, pampered daughter of the billionaire Bratva Pakhan, a true Bratva Principessa, be?'My best friend, Svetlana, joked a
Rory arrived ten minutes later, his bright carrot red hair stuck up all over his head as if he had stuck his hand in an electric socket. 'The bastard is going to double-cross you, Boss.'He says, plonking himself down on a chair and putting his laptop on my desk before flipping it open. Pressing
I lean back in my expensive, custom-made leather chair, steepling my fingers, narrowing my eyes at the man facing me. Pavel Khushanov is the Bratva Pakhan, and my MC has worked with them for decades. My father with his father, and my Grandfather with his Grandfather, the last two started things as
