Here's something else they don't teach you in med school: what to do when you wake up tied to a warehouse floor.

Which is not where I expected to be after finding out I'm pregnant with a Bratva king's baby.

My hands are bound. My best friend is lying next to me. And the man who put us here knows things about Kiren that no outsider should.

I just don't know how. Not yet.

I've been trained to stay calm when everything is falling apart. And right now, survival means keeping my mouth shut, my mind sharp, and my hand over the life inside me that no one was supposed to know about.

Except secrets don't stay secret when you're someone's leverage. And a Bratva king's unborn child? That makes me the most valuable hostage in the city. Kiren will come for me. I know that the way I know my own heartbeat. The man who crossed a ballroom to ask me to dance will burn through every wall between us without hesitation.

But even if he finds me, nothing goes back to the way it was. Because someone I trusted got me into this. And the man I love? He doesn't even know he's going to be a father.

I saved his life in an alley.

Now it's his turn to save mine.

His to Protect is the explosive conclusion to the Sovarin Bratva duet. Full-length mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for those who love ride-or-die heroes, fierce heroines, and enough tension to make you miss your bedtime.
