She was never meant to be his.
Isha Mehra grew up sheltered, untouched by the darkness that ruled the world beyond her family's walls. At eighteen, she was meant to chase dreams, not be auctioned off to pay for her father's sins. But when the debt came due, there was only one way to settle it-her hand in marriage to the most feared man in the Russian-Indian underworld.
Mikhail Gorbachev doesn't believe in love. He believes in power. A ruthless kingpin, a warlord draped in Armani, he takes what he wants and destroys what he doesn't. And now? He wants her.
Marrying Isha was never part of his plan. But one look at his fragile little bride, and something in him shifts. Possession takes root. Obsession follows.
She is terrified of him, yet drawn to the monster in ways she can't explain.
He swore he would never love, but now he keeps a period tracker on his phone, marking every date that binds her to him.
She was supposed to be a debt repaid.
Instead, she became his addiction.
And Mikhail never lets go of what's his.
Look at her and die. Touch her and burn. Try to take her, and he will bring hell upon this earth.
Because she is his little sunshine.
And even the devil doesn't share the light.
