He didn't just save me. He destroyed me in the best possible way.
My father's funeral should have been freedom. Instead, it brought Dante Volkov.
My brother's most dangerous enforcer. A killer with dark eyes and darker secrets. He moved into my penthouse with one mission: keep me alive. But his protection comes with rules. His control. His obsession.
He watches my every move. Controls my every breath. Claims me in ways that should terrify me. And there's something he's not telling me-about my father's sins, about the danger hunting me, about what he's willing to do to keep me safe.
When the truth comes out, I have a choice: run from the monster who'd burn the world for me, or let him ruin me completely.
They say you can't love a monster. But mine is the only one who ever saw me as worth saving.
A thirty-seven-year-old woman who never breaks the rules finds herself facing unexpected consequences after a one night stand with a younger man.

Genevieve Ukaji is a successful banker still single at thirty-seven-years-old. Her mother continues to remind her to find a husband. Her colleagues gossip about her behind her back, and to make matters worse, she wakes up one morning in a stranger's bed.
Regardless, she decided to push the experience to the back of her mind until the stranger unexpectedly walks into her parents' home, and she realises the big age difference between them.
Genevieve is too ashamed and embarrassed of herself. She wants nothing to do with him, but it's not the same for the cute stranger. He tries his hardest to bring her out of her shell.
Amidst all this, Genevieve finds out she's expecting. For the first time in her life, she would have to decide if this glimmer of happiness is enough to face the fear of what others might say about her.
