I tried to take his freedom.
Now he owns mine.
Aleksei Marinov is the Bratva’s most ruthless killer.
Feared. Cold-blooded. Vicious.
Now—for better or worse—my husband.
I tried to put him behind bars.
He put a ring on my finger instead.
But it wasn’t a choice.
I could either let my family suffer
or sell myself to the one man I hate.
This isn’t love. It’s revenge.
And Aleksei will stop at nothing to break me.
Possessive. Obsessive. Brutal.
He’s everything I swore I’d never want,
but the only man who’s ever made me feel safe.
He touches me like I’m sacred.
Looks at me like I’m already his.
And somewhere between hate and hunger,
I fall for the enemy.
Until I uncover the truth
and swear I’ll never forgive him.
But when I’m taken, the man who claimed I meant nothing
tears the world apart to save me.
