GALANA
My father left me a husband in his will.
Caleb Reznikov is thirty-eight, intimidatingly handsome, and so quiet that I can barely tell what he’s thinking. He works in private security, has connections to the Bratva, and apparently agreed to marry a woman he’s never even met.
Me.
I’ve spent my whole life taking care of everyone else. Cooking their meals, remembering their birthdays, making sure nobody ever feels forgotten. I’m the quiet Maximov sister, the one who never causes trouble.
But Caleb notices everything.
He notices when my sisters talk over me. He notices when I’m nervous. And when he looks at me with those cold gray eyes, I get the strangest feeling that he’s been waiting for me.
The more time we spend together, the more I wonder if marrying this dangerous, mysterious man might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
CALEB
I turned down Yaroslav Maximov’s marriage proposal the first time he offered me his daughter.
Then I saw Galana.
One glimpse of the sweet, selfless woman who sneaks out in the middle of the night to feed her father’s guards, and I knew I’d made a mistake.
Now Yaroslav is dead, someone is threatening his family, and the woman I’ve been thinking about for months is finally within my reach.
Galana has no idea how badly I want her. Or how far I’ll go to keep her safe.
She’s spent her entire life making sure everyone else has a home.
I’m going to give her one of her own.
And God help anyone who tries to take her away from me.
