Konstantin had always considered luck an obedient mistress, bending to his will when it mattered most. But this? This was beyond even his calculated fortune. Alexei Ivanov, humiliated before the entire city, abandoned at the altar like a fool—and now, his runaway bride stood trembling on Konstantin’s doorstep, her wedding gown soaked from the storm. A gift, wrapped in desperation and opportunity.

Oh, he’d welcome her inside, of course—what kind of man would he be to deny a lady sanctuary? But once she crossed his threshold, she would no longer belong to Alexei, no longer be just a pawn in someone else’s game. No, she’d be his.

Her hand, her loyalty, her very being—Konstantin would take it all. And he wouldn’t just be a husband. He’d be the kind of husband Alexei could never hope to be: attentive, dangerous, and utterly impossible to escape. After all, she had chosen to run to him. Now, there was no running back.
