I’m not a woman who bows down for any man. But he said he’d bring me to my knees. I never wanted to marry a man like Aleksander Vasiliev. As the oldest sister in my family, I was excpected to make a marriage pact with a high ranking mafia man. Not someone from the slums of Russia. Aleksander is a man who thinks himself above his station. I’m a woman who deserves the best. When I’m forced into a marriage with Alek, I am appalled. He pushes my body beyond repair. He drives my mind to insanity. I hate him. But… I’m also drawn to him. Aleksander knows how to make me feel seen when no one ever has before. How can I love a monster like him? One thing I know for certain Aleksander will be my salvation… Or my downfall. Bound by Hate can be read as a standalone and has a guaranteed happy ending and NO cliffhangers.
