“I like the pain when it’s you. I’ll endure anything for you.”

She stole his birthright, so he’ll claim her by any means possible. Kristian Belyaev is no longer the heir to the Belyaev crime family fortune, but Zenya Belyaev is. Zenya, however, is forbidden fruit and burns with shame for wanting him. Can she keep the power and her uncle, or will she be the key to a future as the most powerful man in the city?

“Her and me? We’re forever.”

Lilith Vincent, my queen, I’m on my knees. I don’t know how she does the damn thing. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. One of my favorite things about the MCs is that they are all over-the-top, possessive alphaholes but when it comes to their love interest, they are so sweet and caring and I love every second of it! &&& before this blurb turns you away, there is NO blood relation (Kristian is adopted). This is a perfect read if you’re obsessed with The House of the Dragon (specifically Rhaenyra and Daemon) or if you like strong, powerful FMC that only submits to her man in the bedroom. Can’t wait to see what else Lilith has in store!

Note: check TW/CW! This is standalone. This book contains a forbidden relationship, age gap and themes that are not suitable for everyone.
