Beneath his Mercy

Bodyguard Forbidden Love Mafia Romance

By: Nikki Blake

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I was born into a world of blood and power, a pawn in a game played by ruthless men.

But nothing could have prepared me for Stepan Belov

He is the Bratva’s deadliest weapon—a ghost in the dark, a man with no past, no weakness.
Unyielding.
Unbreakable.
A predator who protects what’s his with lethal precision.
And now, I belong to him.

After an assassination attempt, Stepan is assigned as my bodyguard.
My shield. My shadow. My torment.

Cold. Merciless.

Completely untouchable.
Until the night I glimpse the cracks in his armor.

The scars he hides.
The fire in his eyes when another man dares to get too close.

He tells me I’m a duty, not a temptation—that I should marry the man my father has chosen and forget about him.
But then my enemies strike again.
And Stepan stops pretending.

Now, I’m caught between a man who wants to own me and a man who would burn the world down for me.
Between the life I was raised for and the forbidden touch that could cost us both everything.

In Stepan’s arms, I feel safe.
But in his world, love is a weapon.
And I might not survive the fallout.
