Plus-size Captive by the Russian Mafia: Age Gap Mafia Romance (Ignatov Bratva Book 8)

I stood on the stage. He bought my life for a price that promised possession.

Iris
I was trapped. My sister was collateral.
My only value was my defiance. I looked up and saw Iosif Ignatov. "The Strategist."
Cold, calculating, absolute control in a man.
He outbid them all.
He claimed me as his possession.
Now I'm confined in his estate.
He makes me his secretary by day. He owns my submission by night.
I am a virgin. The fire between us is a war.
I thought I could fight his control. I never expected the ice around his heart to crack.
Now his most calculated risk is growing inside me. My sister’s life hangs on a debt I can't repay.

Iosif
I live by logic. Iris was a brilliant, curvy fire I should have ignored.
I bought her to save her.
I kept her for my own calculated reasons.
She was supposed to be a quiet move on the board.
But she defies my authority. She is the only truth I can't strategize away.
I took her—passionately, possessively. I thought ownership was enough. Then they came for her.
I will move heaven and earth to protect what is mine.
This time, the rescue isn't strategy. It's war.
