“You are mine now, solnishko,” he murmurs, the Russian word rolling off his tongue like silk and smoke.
“Every breath you take belongs to me, every look, and every word. I don’t share what is mine. I don’t negotiate it either.”
I try to breathe, but his hand stays where it is, on my thigh heat searing through my body.
“You will learn soon enough,” he continues, voice low and deliberate, “that in my world, obedience isn’t optional. You’ll bend, or I’ll make you. Either way, you will fit in”
He leans in, close enough that I can feel his breath brush my ear.
“Smile, solnishko. You just became a Moretti.”


When her twin sister vanishes on the morning of her wedding to the powerful mafia don, Raina Monroe is forced into the gown that was not meant for her and into a marriage built on lies.
Her parents say it’s only for one day. Just until they find her sister, Talia.
But one look at Luciano Rafael Moretti, and Raina knows there’s no such thing as temporary in his world.
He is cold, dangerous, and impossibly unreadable, the kind of man who commands entire rooms with a glance.
Now, trapped in his mansion and bound by vows that were never hers, Raina must play the role of a lifetime while trying not to lose herself in the process.
Because in the Moretti world, secrets don’t stay buried…
And one wrong move could make her next breath her last.

“Marry me, Damien Hale.”
The words hung in the air like a gunshot.
For a moment, Damien didn’t move.
The faint smirk he’d worn vanished, replaced by something unreadable.
“What?” he said.
“I know how this sounds and I—”
“Tell me,” he interrupted, voice flat. “How does it sound?”
I swallowed. “I’m asking my ex-fiancé’s uncle to marry me. Do you need me to spell it out?”

I thought I had it all. Four years of love, loyalty, and dreams of forever with the man I trusted most. But one devastating secret shatters my world. The man I planned to marry has a family he’s hidden from me. A wife, a kid, and another one on the way.
The lies cut deep. The betrayal, deeper.
I didn’t cry, neither did I beg.
Instead, I will make him regret ever thinking I’d be the fool who stays.
My revenge? Bold and Scandalous.
I proposed marriage to the last man my ex would ever want me near. His wealthy, powerful, and dangerously captivating uncle.
To my shock, the uncle accepts.
But, not without his own terms.
What is it?
“You won’t just be my wife on paper, Serena. You’ll be mine in every sense that matters. Publicly. Privately. Behind closed doors, there won’t be an act. You’ll wear my name, my ring, and you’ll play the part until it becomes your reality.”
“No one… Not even you, forget who you belong to once you walk into my world. You asked a dangerous man to be your husband. Now you’ll live with what that means.”

The more time I spend with him, the more I realize he isn’t just a weapon for revenge, he’s a man who can set my body and soul ablaze.

Oh, Damn.
Revenge should never feel this intoxicating.
