It starts with a contract, not a love story. After a mission in Spain goes wrong, Aleksandra Mikhailovna Dragunova, Moscow's Bratva princess, is ordered to marry the lion of Sicily to stop a war. One wrong deal. One betrayal. One forced marriage between two empires that should never mix... and a slow-burn obsession that could burn them all. Hunted by her own world and driven out of every safe house and city, Aleksandra has one way left to survive: align with the Spadaro family. A ring she never wanted becomes her only shield. Domiziano Massimo Spadaro, Underboss and the heir to the Black Lion's crown, was raised on blood oaths and loyalty. His loyalty is the kind that makes men fear his name more than the law. When the contract lands on his desk, he doesn't see a bride; he sees a liability wrapped in strategy. A Dragunov. A woman he is ordered to claim, never trust. Aleksandra led men who killed at her word and bled at her feet. Her rules were simple: freedom over fairy tales. Power over promises. Control over love. They walk into the marriage as enemies, bound by ink, not choice. They promise themselves one thing: do not fall. ~~~ "He was supposed to be my protection. Not my addiction." ~ Aleksandra Dragunova

LAURA My mission was simple: capture the CIA's most wanted fugitive. I failed. My team was slaughtered in front of me. I was taken by the very man I was sent to bring down - Andreas Hidalgo. Capo of the Cosa Nostra. Leader of the Dominion syndicate. A sociopath who made an art of dismantling me, piece by piece, until I barely recognised the woman staring back at me. No one came for me. Then, on a day I will never forget, he contacted my government - not to negotiate my release, but to broker a deal. One of his most dangerous shipments, in exchange for my hand in marriage. My country said yes. The betrayal should have been the worst part. It wasn't. The worst part is what came after - the heated moments I can't explain, the memories haunting my mind that don't belong to the woman I used to be, the terrifying realisation that I am starting to want this life. Want him. I am married to a fugitive. A man the world fears and no law can touch. And I am falling in love with my husband. That was never part of the plan. My name is Laura Hill. I am a CIA agent. And the wife of a devil. BOOK 1 IN THE DEVIL'S BRIDE SERIES
