He’s a widower with a bloodstained past. She’s the reluctant bride of a Bratva king. Mikhail Zhukov has ice in his veins and war in his soul. The eldest son of a powerful Russian mafia boss, he buried his heart with his wife—and vowed never to love again. But when duty demands he marry Kira Malakhov, the pampered daughter of a corrupt oligarch, he expects a nuisance. What he gets is a firestorm. Kira wants nothing to do with the world her father sold her into—or the man she's being forced to marry. Cold, ruthless, and haunted, Mikhail is everything she despises…until she begins to see the man behind the legend. A protector. A warrior. A man who watches her like she’s the only thing keeping him breathing. Mikhail never wanted a new wife. But once he sees Kira, he knows one he will have her. Protect her. Obsess over her. Even if he has to burn down the empire to do it. A reluctant marriage. A deadly legacy. An obsession that could consume them both.
Author
Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who loves to write dirty books about two people who trip into love and fumble their way into a Filthy, Funny, Happily Ever After. I live in Austin, with my husband, two crazy Chihuahuas and an even crazier cat. And I spend most of my day writing dirty romance books about older men who fall in love with younger women and make fools of themselves trying to win their hearts. If you love Dark Romance, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t like dark heroes. I like my hero to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind—- and then I want him to lose all his composure and game when he meets the heroine. I want him to turn into a bumbling idiot when he spots the girl of his dreams and revert to a teenage boy in a man’s body trying to win her. I like my heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable—-who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise. I write A LOT OF AGE GAP—because I LOVE AGE GAP ROMANCE. I’ve got no other excuse for it. No matter what kind of story it is, my ladies are ADORED, and my endings are always Happily EVER AFTER, not HFN. Want a free Ebook?
