Life isn’t fair. If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov. She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming. Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him. Cutter Carson Clayborne. The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her. Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse. When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not. He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony. Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his. He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.
