"I was trembling, the weight of the steel in my hand feeling alien and cold. I pointed it at him, my breathing hitching as he took a step forward, ignoring the muzzle pressed against his chest.
"You're a monster," I whispered, my voice breaking.
Alex leaned into the barrel, his icy blue eyes locked on mine. He didn't blink. He just moved until we were flushed against each other, his hands hovering over my waist. "The only one who can put a gun against my heart is the one who owns it. You, angel. Only my wife.""

What would you do if one day you woke up invited to... your own wedding?
I spent five years playing parent to my two younger sisters, trading my dreams of figure skating for endless shifts, being the only one left to hold our shattered family together.
But the life I built was ripped apart by a single envelope in my mailbox.
I'm being married off to Alexander Sokolov.
He was my high school obsession-the boy who haunted my thoughts for years-but he's also dangerous, cold, and drowning in secrets that leave a trail of blood wherever he goes. He's the last person on earth who should be around my sisters, and certainly the last person I should trust with my heart.
Yet, when he offers to protect everything I love in exchange for my hand, I don't have a choice. I'm trapped in a gilded cage with a man who claims he's my husband. A man who pushes me, tests me, and pulls a side of me I didn't know existed-a side that's just as sharp and dangerous as his own.
He thinks he's bought himself a sweet, compliant wife. He's about to find out that I'm the only one who can handle his darkness-and I'm not playing by his rules anymore.
