Second Best

I'm not beautiful or skinny.
I'm hated.
Always second best.

I was given to Slavik Ivanov, a deadly, fearsome man in the Volkov Bratva. Married into the world of the Bratva, I have to learn to survive. My husband doesn't pay me attention, but the longer he ignores me, the longer I'll live.

Trouble is brewing in the Volkov Bratva. It's dangerous, and I know it's only a matter of time before I'm killed because I'm the stranger. The enemy.

Slavik doesn't love me. I'm nothing more than a duty to him. I'm an obligation, but when he finally notices me, his touches set me on fire.

Does he know I'm loyal to him? Or will he believe the orchestrated lies and finally get rid of the wife he never wanted?

My life is in his hands, and I fear I will never be the same again.
