But not just any man. Czar Kuzmich. Head of the Russian mafia. Cold, brutal, and untouchable.

What starts as an unwanted arrangement quickly spirals into obsession, secrets, and something far more terrifying than love. Because Czar Kuzmich doesn't just claim wives. He owns them. And Zariah has no idea what it means to belong to a man like him.
