Marked by the Bratva

Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Mafia Romance

I came back to bury my past. Instead, I walked straight into the arms of my worst nightmare.

Malachim Vetrov.

Ruthless.
Calculated.
The Pakhan of the Vetrov Bratva—a man whose name is a whispered threat in the underworld.
The boy who once tormented me has become the most powerful man in Moscow, and now?

He holds my fate in his hands.

His offer is simple—stay under his roof, care for his daughter, and pretend the past between us never happened.
But nothing with Mal is ever simple.
His gaze is a silent warning, his presence a storm I can’t outrun.
The man I hate is also the one I can’t seem to resist.

But Mal isn’t the only one playing a dangerous game.
His past is alive, waiting in the shadows.
And the woman he once lost—the wife he buried—isn’t resting in her grave.

The longer I stay, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t just about the war between us.
This is about the secrets we were never meant to uncover.
The betrayals waiting to consume us both.

I should run. I should fight.

But some wars aren’t meant to be won.

And in Malachim’s world, love is just another battle waiting to be lost.
