9 Months to be his

Forced marriage. Nine months. One Bratva king who never planned to fall.

Loretta Hart never expected her entire life to be rewritten in a single moment-
but when her mother's medical bills spiral out of control, she makes an impossible choice.

Marry a stranger.
For one year.
A dangerously powerful stranger who doesn't believe in love.

Alexander Dragomir, the Pakhan of the most feared Bratva syndicate in New York, needs a wife for reasons he refuses to explain. Cold, commanding, and emotionally untouchable, he treats their marriage as a business deal.

Until the lines blur.
Until the touches linger.
Until one night of broken rules turns into something neither of them can take back.

Loretta promised herself she wouldn't fall.
Alexander promised himself she'd stay behind his walls.

But when a single mistake changes everything, Loretta discovers she's carrying something Alexander never expected-
and the Pakhan who vowed he'd never love might burn the world down to keep her.

A forced marriage.
A nine-month countdown.
A love neither of them were built for... but both of them will bleed for.
