Savage Beautiful. MAINGARDE, #3

DominickI owed Sergei Orlov a favour. A favour he had come to collect. I wasn't surprised when he came asking for the favour to be returned. It was what he asked of me in return that I didn't expect. To marry his little sister. A marriage in name only. A marriage that would ensure her safety. Agreeing to his rules was easy. I had no plans to put my hands on the bratva princess. And then she walked through the door.
Everything changed in that moment. Nika Orloff with her innocent smile upset the well-ordered course of my life. Ensuring her safety came with unexpected problems. Killing for her? So very easy. Keeping my hands off her?Impossible. NikaMy father's plans for me sent me running to my best friend's family home to avoid him and his plans. My big brother came up with a plan to keep me safe. A plan I wasn't too happy with.
A fake marriage to a man I didn't know. A man who was a lot older than me. A man who was beautiful to look at but had the coldest, scariest blue eyes I had ever seen. He was cold, rude and distant. None of it kept me from being fascinated by him. It was supposed to be a fake marriage, until it wasn't. A positive pregnancy test was all it took to end it. End the dream I was living in. Now there were no more dreams.
Just realities and enemies. And Dominick Maingarde, the man who broke my heart.
