Delilah Sinclair is a recent bachelor's graduate who works as a journalist at a media company. She lives with her mother, Grace, who previously struggled with depression and is now undergoing treatment. She works hard to support her mother and is always there to take care of her. Delilah never knew her father and preferred it that way. She never knew anything about him, and Grace never spoke of him. Unexpectedly, Delilah receives an important and unusual job offer. She's offered a large sum of money to conduct a private interview with a Russian mobster, Rowan Volkov. That money could cover her mother's medication and ease their financial burden. After battling with herself over the risks, Delilah decides to accept. When she finally tells Grace about the job, her mother decides it's time to reveal the truth about Delilah's father-and warns her to be careful. After discovering that her father is a Russian billionaire with dangerous and powerful connections including a tight alliance with Rowan Volkov's father Delilah realizes the life she once knew no longer exists. But what she doesn't know yet is that the scariest part isn't the power, the wealth, or the secrets that surround her... It's Rowan. He's cold, calculated, and always one step ahead. He looks at her like she's a puzzle he's dying to tear apart. A magnet pulling her closer with hate... and desire. And when she hears the words "arranged marriage", a secret deal forged between two empires, she can't believe it. No. Not with him. Not with the man who made her tremble when he whispered, "Don't tempt me." Who looked into her soul like he already knew every forbidden thought she was trying to bury. Not with Rowan Volkov. But it's too late. Because the decision has been made. And she couldn't do anything about it. What will happen next with them? {𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐯𝐚 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 +𝟏𝟖}
