It began with a massacre. As shots rang out, Nikolai stole me from my wedding, Claiming me as his own before anyone else could get the chance, Bending me into a pale memory of who I used to be. Nikolai is cunning, drop-dead gorgeous, and feared by everyone who knows him. Including me. Now he demands that I marry him instead of the man I was sworn to… His brother. He wants me to make a mistake, to get lost beneath his wicked tongue, To fall into the dark side and finally become his, And without anyone to save me, I slip… In doing so, I become an enemy to my own family, A death sentence to all who know me. Except for Nikolai – the killer, the boss, the man with no remorse, And soon to be my husband. I belong to him now, And he will crush anyone who says otherwise.
