    This sounds like an exciting cocktail of danger, mysteries, and forbidden feelings! A former kept woman, a bodyguard with a past, an escape, an Italian villa, and the mafia — the perfect ground for a passionate drama with thriller vibes. I already want to know if Alya will fully trust Stas and if he will have the strength to save her.

    So many changes have happened to Ali. In the first book, she was flushing drugs down the toilet, and now she’s an open, kind, decent woman and a businesswoman.

    Is this a standalone book or a series? And in what order should I read it?

    Marina MaulGood afternoon, the book is a standalone, but you will meet characters from the book "Palace with Me" here, so you can read "Burn" first and then "Mafia").

    Dear readers, I invite you to my new work, a very emotional and unpredictable story featuring an age difference, a forced marriage, and a reunion after years... Annotation for the book "Sold Bride" I stepped away from my now-wife and clicked on the floor lamp to look at her face. A frightened expression was frozen on it, and her eyes were full of tears. Tears streamed down her cheeks, leaving wet trails, her whole body trembling as she looked at me, seemingly with disgust. I immediately grimaced and got off her. That look of hers infuriated me. I quickly got out of bed, buttoning my shirt on the go, but accidentally knocked over that cursed lamp on the nightstand. The glass shattered into pieces, and I grew even angrier. I hurried toward the bedroom exit, knocking over a stupid huge vase with flowers standing on the floor along the way. Water, glass, flowers—all mixed together on the carpet, but I didn’t even look at it anymore and just left the room. Well, if I’m so repulsive to you, we’ll do things very differently… Updates - daily at 7:00 PM! Read it right now!

    Congratulations! What a start!!!! It's Alya, no way without adventures. Especially after sharing her dreams while still with her family.... I hope the Italians aren't as clever as our heroes, and they’ll get out of any trouble.... though it’s a bit worrying... it’s the mafia, after all! Keeping my fingers crossed for our favorites))) Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, fruitful inspiration, and an tireless Muse.....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    I think Ali and Stas would be sad without adventures, so they won't have to feel bored. And Vlad is great, he arranged everything and took care of it all to make sure Ali and Stas feel comfortable from the very start.

    Anna HommaYes, I suspect they will have plenty of adventures) But let's not get ahead of ourselves for now...
