Would you marry a monster to save your family?

I came home for my sister’s wedding.
Not mine...

But instead of cake and confetti, I got a proposal wrapped in a subtle
Marry Stepan Andreev—the Bratva’s deadliest enforcer…
Or watch my family crumble.

They say he’s a monster.
But they’re wrong.
Monsters sometimes have mercy.
Stepan doesn’t.

Now this broody beast wants me as his bride.
But this isn’t a love story.
It’s a contract sealed with a promise I never made.

The scariest part?
It’s not the violence, the secrets, or the blood on his hands.
It’s the way he looks at me,
The way he touches me…
Like I’m the only thing in his world worth having.

Now instead of running...
I’m burning for him to have me.
