ALESSIA
I agreed to marry the enemy for one reason only: revenge.
Not love.
Not peace.
Certainly not him.
Nikolai Reznikov was supposed to be a means to an end—a weapon dressed in tailored suits and cold grey eyes. A Russian monster with blood on his hands and enough power to crush my family beneath polished shoes.
But monsters weren’t supposed to look at me like they could see every ugly thing inside me and stay.
Now I live in his house. Sleep in his bed. Wear his ring.
And every touch feels like betrayal.
Because the man I married to reclaim my life keeps becoming the only place that feels safe.
But safety has never existed in our world.
Not when old ghosts still know my name.
Not when revenge still tastes sweeter than forgiveness.
And definitely not when falling for the enemy might destroy us both.
NIKOLAI
I never wanted a wife.
Wives were liabilities.
Soft things.
Temporary things.
Then Alessia Castellano walked into my life carrying sharp teeth, expensive perfume, and enough rage to burn down entire bloodlines.
She was meant to be an agreement.
A contract.
A calculated move.
Instead she became a problem.
Because she doesn't obey.
She doesn't break.
And worst of all.... she makes me want things I buried a long time ago.
Peace.
Home.
Forever.
But love inside the Bratva comes with consequences.
Someone wants my wife frightened.
Someone wants her bleeding.
They'll learn the same thing I did.
Alessia isn't something you survive.
And neither am I.
