Viktor Gromov is the Pakhan of the LA Bratva.
He’s forty-three, ruthlessly cold, and dangerous enough to make grown men tremble.
And I just woke up in his bed.
It was supposed to be a drunken mistake. A secret I’d take to the grave after being thrown out of his mansion in disgrace.
Until two pink lines changed everything.
When my violent ex corners me, Viktor appears like a dark savior with a terrifying ultimatum:
His absolute protection in exchange for a one-year contract.
I warm his bed. I cure his twisted insomnia.
And when the year is up... I hand over his heir.
I thought I could survive his cruel rules. I thought the stolen whispers in the dark meant he was finally seeing me, not just the incubator for his legacy.
Then I hear his true plan.
“Keep the child. Get rid of the girl.”
Now, I’m running from the most lethal man in the city.
Because Viktor Gromov might own my body and my baby...
But he will never own my life.
