Book 1 of the "Caged Hearts" Series Nikolai Orlov is everything she's been warned about: ruthless, untouchable, and a man who gets what he wants - no matter the cost. As the heir to the Orlov criminal empire, he's built his life on power, fear, and control. But there's one thing Nikolai can't control: his obsession with Nia Makeda Beumont. Nia is the daughter of the president of a small island nation - a sweet, innocent woman with a fiery soul. Her life is upended when she's forced into a arranged marriage with Nikolai to help save her family from financial ruin. At first, she thinks it's just another business deal - until she finds herself tangled in the dangerous world of mafia politics, and worse, tangled in Nikolai's obsessive grip. But as Nia grows closer to Nikolai, she uncovers a dark truth: His parents, the ruthless patriarchs of the Orlov family, hate her simply for the color of her skin. They treat her like dirt when Nikolai isn't around, spewing hatred and racism at every chance they get. When Nikolai finally learns the truth about how his parents have been treating her, his fury is unmatched - and his obsession grows into a need to protect Nia at all costs. Nikolai will do whatever it takes to shield her from the poison of his family, but as their relationship deepens, Nia begins to wonder: Is Nikolai truly her savior, or is he just as dangerous as the world he's built around her? What started as a fake relationship becomes a dangerous obsession, one that Nia may never escape from - no matter how hard she tries.

"You can hate me all you want, Eliana. You can convince yourself that I'm the worst human being on this fucking planet, but it doesn't change how much I love you, how much I've always loved you. There is no one on this planet who I have loved as fiercely as I have loved you!"

"And I'll never leave you again, Eliana. Death would have to take me before I left you, baby."

Her clit swollen, her moans growing louder, filling every inch of space in the house. And all I could think was I want to be the one making her sound like that. I wanted to drop to my knees. Slide my mouth up her thighs. Bury my face in that sweet pussy until she screamed my name. God, she was so beautiful, so uninhibited. So fucking close. Amina and Mason have been friends forever.
