I was wrong. After a humiliating one-night stand with my best friend’s ruthless brother, I realise the Universe wants me to be alone forever. I’ve spent years hating Aleksandr Ivanov’s arrogant smirk and perfect face. And I’m quite prepared to stay far, far away from the tattooed, dangerous Russian. But the infuriating man won’t leave me alone now. He says I’m his. I say he’s deluded. And I’m completely ignoring the fact his sinful touch makes me lose my mind and want to offer my body as tribute! But when danger finally catches up with me, I’m given an ultimatum. Sell out the Ivanov’s—the closest thing to a family I’ll probably ever have now—or become the property of my father’s debtors and be sold to the highest bidder. Except, when Alek finds out about my predicament, he says he has the perfect solution to protect me. Poka smert' ne razluchit nas. Till death do us part. Okay, yeah. My life is a dumpster fire. And I'm fairly sure it's too late to stop my heart being broken into a million pieces, unfortunately. less

One kiss and I'm ruined. Mikhail Ivanov isn’t just my boss—he’s a terrifyingly hot, billionaire control freak, tied to the Russian Mafia. To him, though, I’m nothing more than his competent but physically repulsive assistant. And honestly? That’s fine by me. He’s the ruthless boss I love to hate. That’s it. Or at least, that’s what I keep telling myself as my Monday spirals into chaos. Accidentally flashing my mafia boss? Check. Being attacked by his enemies? Double check... moreOne kiss and I'm ruined.

Gifting him a—well, let’s just say very inappropriate Secret Santa present? Kill me now. Oh, and when he discovers my private plan to have a baby on my own? He makes it very clear both my V card and the baby are his. His cold indifference disappears, replaced by something far worse—obsession. He says I belong to him now. I say he’s completely insane. With his enemies closer than ever, Mikhail doesn’t hesitate to drag me into his brutal world. But when he shows me his lack of trust, accusing me of betrayal, he has a decision to make. I'm either his captive or his queen. I won't be both. And I need to decide if I’ll ever forgive him for forcing me to love him. Honestly, this day can’t get worse. Which means tomorrow is going to be a disaster. Kissed by Malice is the second in the Ivanov Family series, and is set in London, England. Although there's a small cliffhanger for the overall series plot, the characters get a full HEA. This means the book can be read as a standalone.
