Lia Hawthorne needed to know how to please a man after she caught her fiancée cheating on her with his secretary.Adrian Volkov was her brother’s completely off-limits, dangerously magnetic billionaire best friend… until one reckless night in his car shattered every boundary between them.The rules of him becoming her secret sex tutor were supposed to be simple:No kissing.No falling in love.And no strings attached.But with every lesson, every touch, every stolen glance, Lia found herself breaking the rules. The more she gave her body in the name of “sexual experimentation,” the more she realized that being just friends with Adrian Volkov would never be enough.Now the only question left is—was it too much if she wanted everything with him?

His lips didn’t touch mine, but his breath did—hot and slow as he leaned in close, letting the tension burn between us. “You tremble so pretty when you lie,” he said. My body betrayed me. He hadn’t even kissed me, and still, I felt ruined. “You think I need to fuck you to own you?” His mouth hovered by my throat. “No, Rosa. I can break you without ever lifting your dress.” The most dangerous Mafioso in the city makes me an offer. ‘Be his wife.’ Dante Romano isn't the type of person who takes no for an answer. He commands with an iron fist and the world bends to his will. When he approaches me with the offer, I have two options. Be his wife or let my mother die. I choose to save my mother. I thought it would be simple—just wear the ring and survive. But nothing about Dante is simple. He looks at me and sees someone else. His dead wife. Now I’m trapped in his world, his home… and worst of all, his obsession. There's no hiding. No running. All I can do is face the nightmare that awaits me and pray i’ll survive being married to Dante Romano
