Four brothers. One prize. Winner takes all.
Luka—the charming half of the Orlov twins—has never met a problem he couldn't lie his way out of.To Luka, his mother's challenge is simple. The first brother to marry inherits the Orlov empire. To win, he needs a fake bride, a quick wedding, and a quiet divorce before she ever realizes she's been part of the con.
Easy enough.
But the pretty, apparently brainless woman he picks up at a bar on the night of his father’s funeral turns out to be the one woman clever enough to expose him and his entire family of Bratva crime bosses.
Valentina Summer-Childe believes in honesty, freedom, and doing the right thing. Unfortunately, she has a bad habit of falling for men who fall far short of her ideal virtues. A drunken flirtation with a handsome man who just lost his father leads to a breathtaking kiss and an impulsive wedding ceremony at a 24-hour chapel in Las Vegas. But morning's sobriety leads to an unwelcome discovery: the handsome stranger is using her to win control of a notorious organized crime ring.
She fully intends to report him. Followed by an immediate divorce.
But Luka is not about to let his temporary wife ruin his family. Things take a dark turn when he kidnaps her to a remote location - except Valentina refuses to be intimidated. Nor will she be bribed...and somehow, this petite bundle of pure chaos keeps stealing pieces of his hardened heart.
Because in the Orlov family, love is possession, every plan comes with collateral damage—and Luka's greatest lie might be convincing himself he’ll never fall in love.
Forced vows. Kidnapping. Dark obsession. Primal heat. Welcome to the Orlov family—where love is possession, power is everything, and no one is safe—not even blood.
