The Thief's Captive (Bratva Sinners Series)

Alex

Do not touch her. Do not think about her. Do not fall in love.
Simple rules. Easy to follow. Or at least…they should have been.

But Jade Moretti is complicated.

She’s a brat. A heathen. An itch inside my brain. And she’s the daughter of my biggest enemy—the U.S Attorney who’s determined to see me rot behind bars.

The plan was clean and quick—strictly Bratva business. Kidnap her, use her as leverage, walk away unscathed.

But Jade isn’t just a pawn in someone else’s game. The deeper I dig, the more her carefully guarded past begins to unravel—one filled with fear, with bruises no one sees, and a history she’s desperate to erase…one that isn’t done with her yet.

And somewhere along the way, the lines blur. I can’t see, I can’t hear, I can’t think about anything except her. Because she’s no longer just my captive.

She’s mine.

And I’ll burn the world to the ground before I ever let her past touch her again.

Jade

Don’t provoke. Don’t engage. Don’t bite.
Simple rules. The kind I learned in law school. Easy to follow. Or at least…they should have been.

But Alex Martinov breaks every rule.

He’s a bad man. A dark-haired demon. My kidnapper. To him, I’m just a pawn—the daughter of a powerful U.S. State Attorney with a target on my back. A girl in a gilded cage meant to be traded and discarded.

I should hate him. I should be terrified. But the longer I’m trapped with him, the more everything starts to blur—until I’m leaning in…rubbing coconut oil into his hair…offering him the zip ties myself.

Because when his blood dripped from my lips, I didn’t just taste his darkness—

I tasted freedom.

And suddenly, I’m the daughter of the law standing on the wrong side of it.

No longer trying to get out.

No.

I’d rather burn with him, for him—be his—
than be saved.
