Oleksiy Karmazin has dedicated his life to evading Brighton Beach’s notorious bratva network, more commonly known as the brotherhood of thieves. He’s built a thriving business of his own and set his sights on the perfect woman. His father, however—the leader of the Kotovsk Bratva—charges him with the responsibility of saving their family.
By marrying for a dowry instead of love.
The marriage can be nothing more than an arrangement of convenience, he and his bride nothing more than courteous housemates. But his bitterness over having to do the Bratva’s bidding is no match for the feelings his new bride awakens in him.
Payal Malani never imagined she’d seek out an arranged marriage of her own free will. She comes from a normal family, is smart and, up until recently, had a successful career. But after narrowly escaping an attempt on her life, she’s willing to do anything to feel safe again. A loveless marriage to a man from a dangerous family seems like a small price if it means she can reclaim her life.
It’s actually ideal.
Because love lowers guards, and she can’t afford to do that. Not if it risks letting slip how intertwined her past is with her husband’s enemies.
