A reluctant heir forced into an arranged marriage who discovers unexpected passion with his childhood acquaintance.
Leon Emerson, the Bratva heir, had never wanted a bride. He especially didn't want his father's best friend's daughter—a woman he'd barely seen since they were children, a girl he remembered hiding behind her mother's skirts during the old alliances dinners. But alliances mattered, and his father had spoken. And in the world of the Russian underworld, his father's word was law. His father warned him, their enemies also wanted her hand and her body.
Papochka, I don't need a bride. I wasn't asking syn, this alliance is good for the family. She comes from a strong bloodline. Her father and myself built our empires from the ground up and now it is time for you to build yours. The daughter of Vladislav Leontyev is to be your bride, my daughter in law. Papochka, I haven't seen her since we were kids.
