She saved my life…and she’s never going to let me forget it.
Vitya:
If I ever lay my hands on Svetlana Melnikov,
her dad has made it abundantly clear what will happen to me.
It involves a dull blade and the loss of my favorite body part.
Even with that threat hanging over me,
I want her.
I want her more than I’ve ever wanted anything,
and now I’m in a mess and need her help.
I swore I’d never cross the line with her,
but she’s determined to make me a liar.
Svetlana:
Infuriating, gorgeous, and determined to keep me at arm’s length.
I saved his life, and he acts like he can barely tolerate my presence,
but I know he’s lying.
He’s a bodyguard who insists I wear a knit cap when it’s cold outside.
He’s not fooling anyone.
I just need to get him to act on it.
When an unexpected turn of events means we need to escape for a few days, I’m all in.
If that means we’ll be hiding out, sharing a bed, and pretending to be a family,
well, so be it.
It’s time to make Vitya realize that he may guard my body, but he can’t guard my heart.
It’s been his since the day I saved his life two years ago, and it’ll never be anyone else’s.
