Falling for a man who’s forcing me to marry him makes me sound weak. And in our world, the last thing a woman wants is to feel weak.

Brielle

Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.
Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.
Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.
After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.
But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.
He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.
Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.
I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.
I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.

PROLOGUE

Brielle

As I lie on the medical bed, my wrists and ankles strapped down, I can’t help but think about how I got here.

One minute, I was in college, in love with my boyfriend, and the next, I was being raped by a monster. A monster who took what he wasn’t offered.

“You thought you could get away with this?” Anthony shouted as he held my hands down and took and took and took. “This body was supposed to be mine!”

I wish I could say this was the first time my control had been taken from me, but I was raised by Andrey Antonov, the king of needing to be in control. He might be my father, but family means nothing to him, and women are nothing more than a commodity to be used to further his agenda.

Growing up, if I didn’t do as he wanted, he would make sure there were consequences. Rather than demanding respect, he thrived on people’s fear.

My brothers, Dominick and Matteo, would try to save me, but I hated that, in turn, Andrey would hurt them. So, I learned from an early age that if I relinquished all control, we would be safe from our father’s wrath.

He wanted me to go to a private school. I went.

He wanted me to stay a virgin to marry his business associate’s son. I kept my legs closed.

He insisted I go to a college not too far from where we lived. I went to the college he allowed me to go to.

He picked out the apartment I would live in near campus. I thanked him.

But the moment I was out of his home, something in me snapped. Maybe it was the distance that made me bolder. Or being away from home that allowed me to get comfortable.

But little by little, I started to take back my control.

I changed my major from arts and humanities to accounting.

I purchased a second phone so he couldn’t track my whereabouts.

I met a boy and fell in love, and I gave him my virginity.

I started to make plans, ones that didn’t include marrying Anthony Rothschild.

But me thinking I was in control was nothing more than an illusion.

And that was proven the night Anthony forced himself on me.

I begged him to stop.

But I wasn’t in control.

Then my father found out about my boyfriend, and I begged him not to kill him.

But I wasn’t in control.

Andrey found out I was pregnant.

And because Andrey Antonov always has to be in control, we’ve ended up here—at a clinic, where he’s paying a doctor to abort my baby.

“Please,” I beg, unsure if anyone can even hear me. “Please don’t take my baby.”

“You did this,” Andrey hisses, coming into view.

He towers over me, a look of disgust marring his features. “You’re a whore who chose to spread her legs, and now I’m forced to fix the problem you created.”

“Please,” I say again. “I’m sorry. The baby might be Anthony’s⁠—”

“Enough!” he barks and then leans in close to my face. “No daughter of mine will have a bastard born out of wedlock. It’s bad enough you’re now damaged goods.”

“He … he raped me,” I whisper.

“Because you’d spread your legs for another man!” His hand connects with my cheek, and I choke out a sob. “You’re a disgrace to this family, and when they’re done taking the bastard out of you, you’re coming home.”

I close my eyes and blink back my tears, not wanting to give him any more of myself. And when I open them, a gentleman in a white lab coat is standing over me. With his dirty-blond hair, soft green eyes, and a small belly hanging over his belt, he doesn’t appear to be threatening, but right now, he’s the most dangerous person in the room … because he’s about to take my baby—and destroy my heart in the process.

Matteo

Daniella is my best friend’s younger sister—sweet, innocent Little Russo—and the one woman I should stay away from.
But when she unknowingly marries a man who’s out to destroy her family, she lands herself in danger she can’t escape, and I’m the only one who can protect her.
My first mistake? Insisting she move in with me.
Because the more time I spend with Daniella, the more the light threatens to break through my darkness, making me want things I’ve rejected for most of my life.
I should reject her too. Keep her away from me as much as from him.
That’s the problem with our arrangement though …
Her husband is bad.
Me? I’m worse.
I’m rough, ruthless, and nothing close to what she deserves. I can’t give her the white picket fence she desires.
But she doesn’t see the blood on my hands, or that I’m not husband or father material.
All she sees is the man who’ll burn down the world to save her

PROLOGUE

Matteo

Fifteen Years Old

“Have you considered having Matteo tested?” Mrs. Klein, my freshman English teacher, smiles warmly at my parents.

She’s only trying to help, but she has no idea what her help is going to cause me.

“Tested for what?” my mom asks, like she hasn’t been told the same shit a million times.

Tested for a learning disability because I can’t read properly.

Tested for ADHD because I can’t focus or sit still.

Tested for anything that will prove why I am the way I am.

“There’s no reason to have him tested,” my dad says before Mrs. Klein can answer. “He’s lazy, and we’ll take care of it at home.”

Mrs. Klein frowns. “I don’t think⁠—”

“We don’t pay you to think.” My dad glares at Mrs. Klein, and since he’s Andrey Antonov, known for being one of the most dangerous men in Harbor Point—hell, in all of South Florida—with a reputation of killing anyone who stands in his way, she flinches and closes her mouth. “We pay you to teach our children. So, how about you do your job, and we’ll do ours?”

“Mr. Antonov,” the guidance counselor starts.

Because I’m struggling across the board, the meeting isn’t just with one teacher. It’s with all of them and the guidance counselor. Normally, my mom would attend, but when Andrey heard about it, he insisted on coming along.

Andrey stands, damn near knocking the chair back. “We’ll handle it,” he repeats. “When my son comes to school tomorrow, he’ll be on his best behavior.”

“It’s not about his behavior,” Mrs. Paulino, my science teacher, adds. “Matteo is such a⁠—”

“No?” Andrey leans over, getting in her face. “You’re telling me he’s failing all his classes besides PE, yet this isn’t about his behavior? Then, what is it about?”

I’m broken.

I can’t read.

I can’t focus.

I get frustrated.

I get angry.

But Andrey won’t accept any of those answers because that would mean one of his sons has a weakness, and the Antonovs are a powerful family with a reputation to uphold, so we couldn’t possibly have a weakness.

“I’ll do better,” I mutter, knowing nothing I say will make a difference but hoping maybe it will stop him from what I know is coming.

“You should’ve already been doing better,” Andrey says, his voice low, but his threat clear. “Let’s go.”

He grabs my arm, and I don’t bother trying to pull away. The last thing I want is to brawl with him in front of everyone. I wouldn’t put it past him to pull out his 9mm and put a bullet into my head, effectively curing my weakness.

With Mom following, Andrey drags me out of the conference room and outside. Since I’m only fifteen, my older brother, Dominick, usually drives me to school, but he left to go do some business for Andrey since I told him I had to stay after.

“When we get home, we’re going to have a conversation about embarrassing this family,” Andrey hisses.

“Andrey,” Mom murmurs, “he’s not bad. He’s just …”

Broken.

Stupid.

“Enough!” he barks, his hand flying up and backhanding my mom hard enough that she stumbles back.

I quickly move to catch her before she falls. Him laying his hand on her is my breaking point. It always is. I try to do as Dominick says and behave so Andrey will leave us alone. But the moment he hits our mom or sister, I lose it.

“Don’t fucking touch her!” I yell, flying forward and shoving him back. “You want to be pissed? Be pissed at me. I’m the fuckup. I’m the idiot. The weakest fucking link! But don’t fucking touch her!”

Mom sniffles from somewhere behind me, and it spurs me on.

“Instead of taking it out on a woman who doesn’t stand a chance against you, hit me, motherfucker!”

I get in his face, and he takes one look at me and swings. His fist connects with my cheek, knocking me back, and my backpack flies off my shoulder and onto the ground.

“Andrey, Matteo, stop!” Mom begs. “People are going to see.”

Before I can get myself together, he lays another hit and then another. My ass hits the ground, and Andrey towers over me.

“You’re a fucking disgrace to this family,” he hisses. “I’m done paying for an education you refuse to take advantage of. Your brother gets straight A’s, and so does your sister. But you … I wouldn’t even be surprised if you weren’t my son.”

He glances at Mom. “Who did you cheat on me with? A dumbass?” He pulls out his gun and points it at my forehead. “Either you get your shit together or I’m putting you on the streets, where you belong.”

From USA Today bestselling author Nikki Ash comes a dark, secret baby romance …

Dominick

Flying commercial is the bane of my existence.
Until the fiery redheaded flight attendant with emerald eyes falls into my lap.
The spark between us is instant. And from the moment her body crashes into mine, I know I need more than just a few hours in the sky with her.
The next time our paths cross, she tells me she’s headed out of the country, and I don’t hesitate to make sure I’m on her flight.
Our time together is filled with a passion I didn’t know existed. And for a moment, I allow myself to imagine what it would be like if our temporary arrangement turned into forever.
Until a call in the middle of the night pulls me back to reality, reminding me that with the enemies I have, letting her get too close would make her my greatest weakness—one I can’t afford.
Four years later, fate intervenes. Because she’s back, serving drinks on my private flight, and she’s apparently been keeping secrets.
With one phone call, I learn she’s been raising my son while pretending I don’t exist.
Now, with my enemies closing in and our secret out, they’re both in danger, and I’m done playing this game her way.
She might not trust me, but I’ll stop at nothing to keep them safe—even if I have to drag her kicking and screaming into my world

Dominick

“What did he do now?” I ask over the speakerphone as I wipe the blood splatter off my hands, checking to make sure I didn’t get any on my suit while I wait for my younger brother to tell me what our father did this time.

There are only two reasons Matteo sends a 911 text when I don’t answer his call—he’s in trouble, or our dad fucked something up. And since Matteo can handle himself better than anyone I know, it’s usually the latter.

“He took a meeting with Rothschild behind our backs.”

That gets my attention. Joseph Rothschild and our father haven’t been anything more than business associates in many years, and everyone knows if it’s business-related, I’m the person they should contact. It’s been that way for the past year, since our father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s—information only our immediate family is aware of—and he had no choice but to go into an early retirement, despite refusing to officially hand the title over to me until I either meet his absurd requirements or he dies. I’m banking on his death.

So, the fact that they’re meeting only means one thing …

The body on the floor groans, reminding me that I’m in the middle of something.

“Hey, Matteo, let me call you right back.”

He hangs up, and I pull my gun out of its holster, aiming it at the man who betrayed me … betrayed my family. His face is mangled, to the point that I can’t tell if he’s looking at me. But it doesn’t matter because, in a moment, he won’t be looking at anyone.

I glance at the gentlemen standing around the room—some with terrified expressions, others neutral.

“Take this as a warning,” I tell them. “When you steal from my family’s casino, you’re stealing from me, and there’s only one way it will end.” The bullet goes straight into the thief’s chest, and I look at the other employees. “Any questions?”

They all shake their heads.

“Good. Now, get back to work.”

They scurry back to wherever they belong, and I glance at Franco, who runs our underground casino. It’s invite-only, and only the most wealthy and influential are considered.

“You did good,” I tell him, reaching out to shake his hand. “Expect a bonus for your loyalty.”

When he contacted me to let me know he believed someone in the accounting department was stealing from the casino, I told him to handle it. It took a couple of weeks, but he figured out who it was and called me with proof.

Unfortunately, shit like this happens all too often.

And then Matteo or I have to step in.

People get greedy and try to get away with skimming off the top. They think because we have our hands in so many pots, we’re not watching. But you don’t get to where we are by being stupid.

“Thank you, sir.” Franco nods and then scurries out while I text my cleanup crew to let them know where they need to pick up the trash.

Once that’s handled, I head back to my office in downtown North Harbor Point, calling my brother back once I’m situated.

“Sorry about that,” I say when he answers. “Issue at the casino, but I handled it. Now, where were we?”

“Andrey meeting with Joseph.”

Ah, yes. I lean back in my seat. Our father took a meeting with Joseph Rothschild behind our backs.

“Let me guess. Joseph was asking when our sister would be ready for marriage.”

“Worse,” Matteo says, his tone laced with venom. “Anthony doesn’t want to wait. He wants to marry her now.”

“How do you know that?”

“I ran into him at Pasquale’s,” Matteo growls through the phone. “He was bragging about how it won’t be long until we’re family. That Dad agreed Brielle would marry him this spring. Not fucking summer, Dominick. Spring! I think they know Dad’s health is declining, and they want it to happen before he dies.”

I clench my fist around my phone, trying to tamp down my anger. “I’ll talk to Joseph when I get back. He agreed to wait. I don’t give a shit what deal our father made with his friends thirty-five fucking years ago. It’s not supposed to happen until after she has graduated, and she still has five months to go.”

Hopefully, by then, Dad will be dead, and I can renegotiate so our little sister isn’t forced to marry that dumbass Anthony. He wouldn’t know the first thing about keeping my sister safe, and the last thing I want is our family name tied to him.

“All right,” Matteo concedes. “But don’t prolong it. That asshole sounded like it was a sure thing.”

Of course Anthony did. Because he’s been counting down the days until he can claim our sister as his own. The Rothschilds are practically champing at the bit to secure ties to the Antonov name. He would’ve tried to make it happen sooner, but with the twelve-year age difference between them, Dad told him he had to wait until Brielle turned eighteen.
