Thorn: A Dark Age Gap Mafia Romance

I have no family. No life. No dreams. I have nothing left. My father and Nikolai made sure of that when they made me a pawn in their mafia games. A broken woman. A tainted bride. A bargaining chip. That's all I am to them. But things are changing. am changing. Learning. Growing. Rising from the ashes anew. At first, I didn't understand what Nikolai woke in me when he used my body for his revenge plot. But now? Now, I have plans of my own. He may think I'm his Rose to claim, to dominate, control, but I am a rose steeped in war and born from bloodshed. It's about time I live up to my name.
