Maria Romanov lost everything in a single betrayal — her family, her fortune, her freedom.
To save what remains of her name, she is forced into a marriage she never chose…
to Mikhail Dragunov, the ruthless heir of a private Russian dynasty.
Cold. Calculated. Untouchable.
Their marriage is not built on love, but blackmail and control.
Mikhail owns her reputation, her inheritance, and the rules of the game she never agreed to play.
Every glance is a challenge.
Every command is a test of her defiance.
And every punishment is designed to remind her who holds power.
But Maria is not as fragile as he expects.
As obsession replaces indifference and control begins to crack, Maria must decide:
submit to the man who owns her future —
or become the one thing Mikhail Dragunov never planned for… his weakness.
In a world where loyalty is currency and love is a liability, one wrong move could cost her everything — including her heart.
