Inked in Betrayal (Marriage Ink)

When professional scandal fixer Lucy De Lucci gets blackmailed into marrying her family's most dangerous enemy, she tells herself it's just another mess to manage — she's wrong.

To stop a catastrophic war between rival crime dynasties, Lucy is forced to walk down the aisle with Kirill Zakharov, a ruthless Russian mob boss whose name alone makes men flinch. She expects cold indifference, a transactional arrangement she can endure and eventually escape. What she gets is something far more terrifying: a man who doesn't simply want to own her, he wants to destroy her, one calculated humiliation at a time.

Set against the shadowy underbelly of organized crime, *Inked in Betrayal* is a dark, pulse-pounding romance where the line between hatred and obsession dissolves dangerously fast. Kirill is meticulous, merciless, and infuriatingly magnetic — and Lucy, who has spent her entire career controlling narratives, finds she cannot control the way her body responds to his. Every confrontation crackles. Every stolen glance costs something neither of them can afford to lose.

But as sinister secrets surface and the threats against them multiply, Lucy begins to wonder whether Kirill's cruelty is a weapon aimed at her — or a shield protecting something buried deep beneath the ice.

Forced proximity, a marriage built on blackmail, and a simmering obsession that neither can outrun — *Inked in Betrayal* proves that the most dangerous vows are the ones you feel.
