Toula will do anything to protect her sister from a merciless fate, even if it means striking a dangerous deal with a powerful man—one that could cost her everything, including her heart.

Toula

I’m the only one who sees my sister’s arranged marriage for what it is—a catastrophe. Her groom is eager to break her, and I’m powerless to stop him. Desperate to save her, I strike a deal with a Bratva boss—a man whose ruthless power promises her safety, but at a staggering cost: if she doesn’t survive five years, I must take her place. I swore I would never let it come to that, but with every encounter, I’m falling for a man I can’t have—one who could destroy everything.

Ilya

A Greek wedding is the last place I want to be, but my presence is non-negotiable. As a Bratva boss, this is our chance to solidify our position within the city. She appeared at the altar, completely blind-siding me. Her eyes dart restlessly, her aloof expression barely concealing her racing thoughts. At that moment, I see exactly how to ensnare my Little Fox. Her focus is entirely on her sister, and I know I can offer the safety she seeks. The catch? When it all unravels, I will have Toula—mind, body, and soul.

Feel the ache of forbidden desire and the crackling tension of undeniable chemistry as two unlikely souls collide—drawn together by circumstance, bound by temptation, and powerless to resist.
