Amelia Moreau is barely holding herself together in the wake of her brother’s death. Lukas had been her guardian, her rock—and now, his loss has left her adrift. But when she learns the terms of her inheritance, her grief turns to shock: to claim the fortune Lukas left behind, she must marry. Not just anyone, but Dimitri Dragunov, a commanding Russian mob boss whose reputation is as dark as the secrets he keeps.

Her first instinct is defiance. She doesn’t need her brother’s money; she’s managed without it and can continue to do so. But rejecting Dimitri isn’t without consequences. Too many lives depend on her decisions, and walking away would leave the people she’s vowed to protect vulnerable. She has no choice but to agree.

Determined to endure the arrangement, Amelia steels herself for a cold, transactional union devoid of intimacy or emotion. But Dimitri has no intention of allowing her to fade into the background as his wife. With a dominance that leaves her breathless, he demands not just her compliance but her surrender—mind, body, and soul.

As she navigates her enigmatic husband’s world of control and obsession,
unsettling truths about her family begin to unravel. The brother she idolized wasn’t the man she thought he was, and the path Amelia is now on is darker—and far more dangerous—than she ever imagined.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

GAH!!  This book was everything you want and expect from a Measha book.  I will say I have listened to books 1-4 on audio but missed book 5 so jumping into 6 didn’t leave me confused at all.  However, I would suggest reading the other books.  Not because you will be confused but because they are that freaking delicious.

I 1,000,000% love Measha’s alphas.  They are so ALPHA.  Dimitri is no different.  He is arrogant, confident, and so not going to fall in love with his wife..eye roll…his cousins are just ridiculous with how they follow their wives all around by their dicks….LOL

Another think I love about Measha’s books is that her females are not women who tower from the alpha men they deal with.  Amelia is no different.  She is a woman who runs her business and will not be pushed around by anyone.  She also goes and yells at a powerful mafia man who things she will marry him.

The love story between these two is amazing.  It is all so dang spicy….like SPICY!!!  Which is the next reason why I love Measha’s stories.  I mean the chemistry is always off the chain hot.  Amelia and Dimitri are no different.

As with all her books you get great banter, lots of love and respect, family togetherness, and twists and turns that leave you guessing.  If you want a great series, then this is one to start with or continue with if you enjoy the series already.

Measha Stone is a USA Today bestselling romance author with a deep love for romantic stories, specifically those involving the darker side of romance, all the possessive dominant heroes, and their feisty heroines. If you love a well deserved happily ever after, you will enjoy her books.
