Possessive Bratva Stepbrothers (Stepbrothers' Forbidden Fantasies #5)

My mother told me marrying into the Volkov family would keep us safe.

She forgot to mention the Volkovs are Bratva, and that in this world, the safest rooms are the ones with the most guns in them.

The wedding ends in blood. My brand-new stepfather—the pakhan—doesn’t live to see the end of his own reception, and by morning I’m locked behind the gates of a lake house I’m not allowed to leave, with my three new stepbrothers: men who carry his name and none of his patience. They think I had something to do with the people who put him in the ground. ?

There’s Lev, the new pakhan, who looks at me like a problem he hasn’t decided how to solve. Kostya, who says the cruel thing out loud so nobody else has to. And Maxim, who smiles like he’s harmless—which is exactly how I know he isn’t.

I’m supposed to be scared of them. I am scared of them.

The problem is, the longer I’m trapped in that house, the less I want the door. I stop flinching. I stop apologizing. And somewhere between the threats and the locked gates, I start to wonder what it would cost to belong to all three of my stepbrothers—and what they’d do to anyone who tried to take me back.

And the way things are going? They should’ve been a lot more careful about what they locked in with them.
