The Brutal Arrangement (The Ivanov Syndicate #2)

One deadly mistake. One forbidden night.

And now… I’m carrying the heir to the Bratva.

I was just the maid.

Invisible. Obedient. Desperate to disappear.

Then Katerina Kozlov offered me a devil’s bargain:

Wear her wedding dress. Say her vows.

Take her place for one night… and vanish.

But when I walked down that aisle,

I met a man who doesnt believe in temporary.

Damon Ivanov.

Bratva royalty. Cold-blooded killer.

They call him Demon—and he earned it in blood.

He’s older.

Harder.

Wiser in all the worst ways.

I was just a trembling girl in stolen silk.

He was the man who would ruin me.

Now I’m his wife in the eyes of the syndicate—

A pawn chained to a ruthless god.

He touches me like I’m already his.

He kisses me like he owns my soul.

And somewhere in the shadows…

I think I started to believe it.

I was supposed to run.

Instead, I fell for the monster.

Now I carry a secret that could shatter his empire:

His child.

His heir.

And the truth about his twin brother’s death.

If I speak it aloud, I’ll destroy him.

If I stay silent, I’ll destroy myself.

Either way someone’s going to bleed.

I was never meant to be his.

But Damon Ivanov won’t let me go.

Not now. Not ever.
