He’s my brother’s best friend, my first kiss, and now… my captor forcing me to say, I do.

Sure, Mikhail Morozova is dangerously gorgeous—think ice-blue eyes and a body that could ruin your life.

He’s also stupidly rich and more dangerous than a loaded gun.

Years ago, he kissed me like I was his whole world. Then? He vanished, leaving me with shattered pride and an embarrassingly persistent crush.

Now he’s back, and apparently, I’m his.

His bride.

His prisoner.

His problem.

Mikhail says marrying him will “protect” me, but let’s call it what it is: a power play.

One that includes dragging me to a secluded estate and laying down rules I’m definitely going to break.

Yet somehow, every time he growls out a threat, I forget how to breathe—and when he touches me, I forget why I hate him.

This is no fairy tale. He’s ruthless, controlling, and infuriatingly cocky.

But beneath the cold fa?ade is the man who’s haunted my dreams for years.

The one who makes me question if there’s more to this forced marriage than a brutal bargain.

Falling for Mikhail would be a disaster… but when he whispers, “You’re mine,” disaster feels a lot like destiny.
