22 year old Scarlett Bellini's life was never hers to control. She was married off the second she was 18 to the Bratva Pakhan to solidify ties between the Cosa Nostra and the Bratva. Her husband, Aleksandr, is a cold hearted ruthless leader, who could care less about the people around him. And finally, after 4 years of being locked up in Aleksandr's mansion only to be taken out when her husband required an attractive arm candy, Scarlett has had enough.
Aleksandr Petrov has always been taught the Bratva way. No emotions. No heart. And under no circumstances, no love. He's been fine living this way for the past 23 years of his life, ever since he was a young boy. The only time his facade ever comes off is in the face of his mother and twin sister, and not even his closest friends can change that. However, when his cold Bratva way drives away one of the only people who ever saw him as enough, he realizes he has to change. For her.
However, she isn't going to make this easy for him.
But hell and heaven alike know that Alek will stop at nothing to get Scarlett back.
And he always gets his way.
