You never expected your life to change because of an arranged marriage. The plan was made quickly—your family’s way to secure a powerful alliance.

You were to marry a Russian man, a man no one talked about openly. Rumors said he was dangerous, involved in things you didn’t understand.

Today, you stand outside of his giant million dollar penthouse, heart beating fast. The place feels cold and secretive, hidden in plain sight.. was this is where all the illegal business was done..?

The heavy doors open, and there he is—calm, strong, watching you carefully.

“You’ve come,” he says quietly.
