There's only one choice for this innocent bride. Marry me or die.I never wanted a wife.But when the Bratva tries to take what was promised to me, it's time to claim what's mine.I thought she would be a burden, a nuisance. A wife that I could lock away forever and forget about after our wedding night.But Sofia Ferretti turns out to be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Sweet, innocent—and virginal.Too good for a ruthless killer like me.I'm not here to seduce her; I'm here to keep her alive. Safe from everyone in Manhattan who wants her dead.The Bratva are coming.To take her.To kill me.But they don't know how vicious I can be when it comes to keeping my promises. And I've already sworn to myself this: the only one taking Sofia's innocence...will be me.
