Lucy De Lucci is a professional scandal fixer, but her talent for cleaning up messes meets its match when she finds herself trapped in a deadly power struggle. To prevent an all-out generational war, she is forced into a blackmailed marriage with Kirill Zakharov, a ruthless Russian mob boss and her family's sworn enemy. Lucy expects a cold, business-like arrangement, but she quickly discovers that Kirill’s intentions are far more sinister. He doesn't want a wife; he wants revenge, and he intends to use their union to humiliate her at every turn. This gripping enemies-to-lovers story is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. While the ink is barely dry on their vows, the tension between the couple is electric, fueled by mutual antagonism and a dangerous, simmering obsession. Kirill is a manipulative, morally gray alpha who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but he makes a fatal mistake: he underestimates Lucy. Armed with her own sharp intellect and the formidable grit of her lineage, Lucy refuses to be a victim. When her husband declares a marriage war, she is more than ready to fight back, transforming their volatile union into an addictive, suspenseful battle of wills.
