I made a fateful decision to marry a Bratva boss to protect my mother. From the moment I crossed paths with Asher Volkov, my life spiraled into chaos. I went along with his twisted plan of a sham marriage, all to ensure my mother’s safety, and walked down the aisle towards him with a facade of determination. Nothing could have prepared me for the shock of becoming pregnant with his child. And nothing could have prepared me for the harrowing revelations about our shared past. When I finally uncovered the truth, I had no choice but to flee. Now, he’s relentless in his pursuit of me. He won’t rest until he has me back—back in his life, and back in his bed. But I hold a secret that I can never reveal to him. A secret that, if left undiscovered, will destroy him. A secret that, if exposed, he will stop at nothing to erase. A secret that, if lost, will shatter me.
