He married her for peace but will kill to keep what's his.
Camila Reyes knows exactly what she's worth. When her father offers her in marriage to Lev Volkov to end a brutal war, she negotiates her sister's freedom and walks into the Volkov compound prepared for strategy, not surrender.
Lev didn't marry for love. He married for leverage, territory, and control. His new wife was supposed to be managed and kept at arm's length. Instead, she proves sharper than his advisors and braver than his soldiers. She learns his operation, earns his respect, and refuses to be ornamental in a house built on power.
Then her own brother betrays her, and gunfire tears through the compound. Seeing his wife bleeding makes it clear she isn't a bargaining chip. She's his, and Lev oesn't hesitate when something belongs to him. He destroys anyone who tries to take it.
