Chosen By the BRATVA Grump

Natan Federov has wanted me since the first time he saw me.

I just didn’t notice.

I’ve spent months pouring everything I have into opening my gallery. After my last relationship crashed and burned, the last thing I need is another man distracting me from the life I’m finally building for myself.

Especially not a huge, brooding Bratva man who watches me like he’s already decided I’m his.

But when a potential buyer becomes a little too interested in one particular painting, Natan knows something isn’t right.

The man doesn’t care about art. He cares about using my gallery to make dirty money look clean, and buying my building out from under me.

And when I refuse to play along, he doesn’t take no for an answer.

Unfortunately for him, neither does Natan.

Natan has been waiting for an excuse to step into my life, and now that he’s here, he’s not going anywhere. And apparently, he’ll make it his personal mission to prove that one terrible relationship doesn’t mean I should give up on love.

Because my grumpy Bratva protector hasn’t just chosen me.

He’s been waiting for me all along.
