HE BOUGHT HER; SHE STOLE HIS SOUL

Anya Koslov was sold to settle her father's debt, becoming the Blood Tithe to the most powerful Bratva in Moscow. She is now a commodity of Nikolai Markov, a Pakhan so cold that even monsters feared his name.

“Please… I’ll do anything,” Anya whispered, her voice like a fragile thread in the crushing silence of the hall. On her knees, she was just one more offering in a centuries-old tradition, a debt paid in flesh and blood.

He circled her like a predator assessing his latest acquisition. His voice was winter itself, cold and absolute. “Your life is not yours to bargain with anymore.” His gloved hand caught her chin, forcing her to meet a gaze as stormy and merciless as his soul. “From this moment, little ghost, you belong to me.”

In the ruthless world of corporate empires, Damon Blackwood is a man who never loses—he acquires, dominates, and destroys. He believes everything has a price. Including people.

So when his younger brother's scandal threatens the Blackwood name, Damon makes a calculated move: Ivy Marchetti. A ruined heiress with nowhere left to turn. In exchange for her family’s debts, she will become engaged to his brother.
Simple. Controlled. Perfect.
Until Ivy walks into his world, and Damon realizes he has made a mistake he cannot undo.
Because Ivy is not the fragile pawn he assumed. For the first time in his life, Damon doesn’t want control.
He wants her.
But Ivy is meant for his brother. A line Damon should never cross. A desire he should never indulge. Yet every strategy he builds to keep her close begins to blur into something far more dangerous than business.
Damon Blackwood doesn’t just want to win deals anymore.

He wants to win Ivy.
