Watched and Taken

I have one job: survive. Between delivery shifts, grades I can’t afford to fail, and a mother whose life depends on every dollar I scrape together, there’s no room left for anything or anyone else.

Then a midnight delivery of milk tea and lollipops brings me to the door of Yakov Volkov.
He’s heir to a Bratva empire, cold-eyed and quietly terrifying and the moment he looks at me, I can feel something in him decide I’m already his. What starts as a favor becomes an arrangement. What starts as an arrangement becomes obsession. And what starts as obsession becomes something I can’t walk away from, no matter how hard I run.

Because Yakov isn’t asking anymore.
He’s already decided I’m his wife.

Watched and Kept is a dark, mafia college romance featuring an obsessive, possessive love interest, morally gray choices, and a hero who has to decide how much of himself he’s willing to lose to survive. This is NOT A SOFT romance. Enter at your own risk.
