One deadly mistake. One forbidden night.
And now… I’m carrying the heir to the Bratva.
I was just the maid.
Invisible. Obedient. Desperate to disappear.
Then Katerina Kozlov offered me a devil’s bargain:
Wear her wedding dress. Say her vows.
Take her place for one night… and vanish.
But when I walked down that aisle,
I met a man who doesn’t believe in temporary.
Damon Ivanov.
Bratva royalty. Cold-blooded killer.
They call him Demon—and he earned it in blood.
He’s older.
Harder.
Wiser in all the worst ways.
I was just a trembling girl in stolen silk.
He was the man who would ruin me.
Now I’m his wife in the eyes of the syndicate—
A pawn chained to a ruthless god.
He touches me like I’m already his.
He kisses me like he owns my soul.
And somewhere in the shadows…
I think I started to believe it.
I was supposed to run.
Instead, I fell for the monster.
Now I carry a secret that could shatter his empire:
His child.
His heir.
And the truth about his twin brother’s death.
If I speak it aloud, I’ll destroy him.
If I stay silent, I’ll destroy myself.
Either way… someone’s going to bleed.
I was never meant to be his.
But Damon Ivanov won’t let me go.
Not now. Not ever.
