Lottie is the Rossi family’s black sheep—a club girl with a jagged past and a secret she’d die to protect. When the perfect sister flees her arranged mafia marriage, Lottie is snatched from the gutters, scrubbed of her sins, and forced down the aisle as a replacement bride.
The groom is Igor Morozov, a decaying billionaire in a wheelchair. The marriage is only a short-term death watch, and Lottie only agreed to play the part because of a threat to end the only person Lottie loves if she refused.
But she didn't count on Viktor Morozov.
Viktor is Igor’s eldest son—the calm one whose composure shatters the moment he sees the tattooed, blue-eyed imposter in his father’s house. He’s convinced Lottie’s a good-digging parasite and not the innocent bride she’s pretending to be.
Now, Lottie is trapped in a house of lions. Viktor is determined to wreck her, to expose her, and to take back everything she stole by becoming his father’s wife. But the more he tries to break her, the more he realizes that the gutter-born bride is the only woman who can set his soul on fire.
