He should have killed her. He kept her instead. Anya Moreau was nobody. A nursing student with an empty apartment, a dead-end job, and a life so small that no one would notice if she vanished. Then she took the wrong shortcut home. She saw him execute a man in cold blood. Dimitri Volkov. Billionaire. Bratva king. Monster. He caught her before she could run. One bullet would have ended it. No witnesses. No loose ends. No consequences. He didn't pull the trigger. Instead, he took her. Now she's locked in his penthouse — his prisoner, his secret, his obsession. He tells her she's nothing. He tells her she's temporary. He tells her he'll let her go when he's finished with her. Every word is a lie. Because Dimitri Volkov doesn't let go of what belongs to him. And from the moment he spared her life, Anya became his. He wants to break her. Corrupt her. Own her completely. But the more he takes, the more he realizes something he never expected. She isn't the one who's trapped. He is. And when he discovers the truth buried in her past — a secret that ties her family to his world long before they ever met — he'll have to choose between the empire he built and the woman he can't live without.

Vivienne Hayes has spent eight years hating the Blackwood family. Eight years ago, the powerful Blackwood empire crushed her family's company through ruthless corporate sabotage, leaving the Hayes family drowning in debt. Her father was gone, her mother became seriously ill, and Vivienne was forced to sacrifice her own dreams to keep her family from falling apart completely. So when Alexander Blackwood the cold and dangerously powerful son of the man she blames for destroying her family, walks into her life, Vivien knows exactly who he is. Her enemy. Then he offers her a contract marriage. One year. Enough money to pay for her mother's treatment, clear her family's debts, and give her siblings a future. Vivienne knows she should refuse. But pride cannot buy medicine. So she signs. The rules are simple: no love, no expectations, no questions, and absolutely no falling for each other. But living under the same roof changes everything. Alexander isn't the monster Vivienne expected. Beneath his cold exterior is a man who protects her when no one is watching, challenges his own family for her sake, and slowly becomes the one person she can depend on. And Vivienne begins to wonder if she has spent years hating the wrong man. Then she discovers Alexander has been keeping a secret. He didn't choose her because she was simply convenient. He knew exactly who she was before he ever proposed. And he's been secretly investigating the destruction of her family's company. As Vivienne digs deeper, she discovers that her family's downfall was far more complicated than she was told. Alexander's father may have destroyed the company, but someone inside her own family helped him do it. Now Vivienne has a choice. Trust the man she was raised to hate… or believe the evidence that could tear their marriage apart. Because the contract was supposed to last only one year. Falling in love was never part of the agreement. And discovering the truth about her husband may be the most dangerous mistake Vivienne has ever made.
