Leo arrived at the Kosvolk mansion in desperation, and unintentionally stumbled upon the woman who would be his contracted wife. However, his eyes were met with a regrettable surprise upon meeting the only daughter of the mafia boss Dimitriy. Leo determined that he would never commit himself to a spoiled, pampered, and indulged girl, as it would be an insult to him and the Novikov name. Little does he expect that the mafia boss's daughter has her own tricks up her sleeve, including the power of seduction. Will he be able to resist the charms of the girl who has it all?
Leo Novikov is a chauvinistic man, living a carefree life and committed to the family business. When he reached his thirties, he was promised to lead part of Russia. However, this becomes impossible when he suddenly learns that he must marry the daughter of a Kosvolk in order to have absolute power and elevate his surname, as the Kosvolk and Novikov families would be the long-awaited union.
All of this is due to a contract signed by the founding members of the mafia organization, although there are many separate clans that want to overthrow the new bosses, while others want to maintain power through their dependence.
After being explained what he must do to obtain everything he has fought for, Leo takes a step back because he knows that marriage is not what he had planned for himself, as it would be the end of his bachelorhood and the freedom he enjoys with women and travel.
It's insane to think that he would marry an inexperienced girl! It's a disaster from which he wants to run away, but his father has him tied down to fulfill his obligations. The mafia members don't care if she has to fall in love or not; what matters is the union of both families, "the power."
The thought of escaping and not obeying his father comes to his mind, although he also considers not accepting, but that would be the end of his family, as the son of the Kosvolk could find the woman who will give him the power he needs.
It's a total catastrophe because Leo has no other path, although there is a glimmer of hope that Kosvolk would destroy that clause in exchange for granting him power, hoping that the father of the woman who is supposed to be his wife will oppose it. That idea comes to his mind, and he'll keep it as an ace up his sleeve. He won't tell his father anything, not as long as the father of that girl accepts. He has no other choice. He must and has to accept.
Leo didn't take much time to travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg, the city where the grand Kosvolk family resides. Everything was going well until fate played a nasty trick on him because it didn't take long for Leo to stumble upon the main piece of all his problems, "Pao."
The man had to blink a couple of times to determine that the girl before his eyes was not the same one he would marry, as he is almost twice her age. In his thoughts, thousands of things came to him, and one of them is that it is not possible to marry a spoiled, pampered, and whimsical brat who doesn't even know what she wants.
The difference between Leo and Pao is that he is a man with experiences, and the last thing that would cross his mind is to be attracted to a teenager, even if Pao claims to be of legal age.
Pao wasted no time and threw herself at the lips of the imposing Leo. For a few seconds, she imagined that she would have him at her feet, but everything collapsed when he rejected her, telling her that she is just a child and, worst of all, that she is promiscuous because the first thing she did was throw herself at a complete stranger. She reacted in the worst way possible; she felt offended, used, ugly, dirty, to the point of running away from there.
The man could only shake his head, frustrated, as he met the girl who would be his wife, a teenager! Many thoughts raced through his mind, and one of them was the question, what experience could this girl have? She's not my type, not at all!
And that's when the man decided to turn around and leave the Kosvolk's house. He felt so frustrated, disappointed, and furious because the organization was playing with him, putting a mere child who didn't even know her own name in his path.
Without speaking to the mobster who would solve his problems, he returned home to discuss the matter of marrying a teenager. His family was unimpressed when he described the girl who would be his wife. However, his family demanded that he go back and speak with the girl's father. They insisted that her being a teenager shouldn't matter since she was still a woman, even though they justified everything by saying she was of legal age.
It was all a surprise to him because his family agreed that he should marry the girl he had rejected. If he refused, he had to be aware that it would be the end of his family and the Novikov name.
What will Leo Novikov decide?
Will he sacrifice his freedom to uphold the family name? Although there's also the option that the girl's father might oppose and help him obtain everything, they want without resorting to marriage.

As Leo keeps appearing in Pao's life, his presence remains a challenge for her. In her mind, she still believes she has everything it takes to conquer any man. All she lacks is a bit of confidence and toughness, so that men stop seeing her as a whiny and spoiled child.
Unintentionally, she overheard a heated family argument in her parents' office, in the company of the man who ignores her. Her question of the year is, "Why am I not there?" Jealousy arises because they allow her brother to be in the meeting she should be attending, emphasizing that she is not a child, as they constantly point out.
"Everything is unfair for the unhappy girl." What she doesn't expect is that a big surprise is about to come her way.
Emily Brow is a girl with a lot of life ahead of her, "literally". At the age of twenty-two, she has achieved many things, one of which is being an exemplary daughter to her parents. However, for herself, she is a lie disguised as a saintly virgin, as her personality is that of a rebellious girl yearning for her freedom. Her parents take care to support her in whatever she decides, as Emily is their only daughter, Daddy's princess! Her level of grades in university gives her all the trust she needs; study leaves, money, luxuries, and unconditional love. Even though she knows she is a fraud, her conscience always repeats that she deserves everything her parents give her because they only expect a daughter who excels in studies, and that's what she does. "Being one of the top achievers at the University of London." She has disguised her mischiefs, late-night studies are an illusion, a disguise for her parents, as the true scenario is going out partying with her friends and getting drunk. And to this day, Emily's mischiefs have not been discovered, at least not by her parents, but the same cannot be said for her friends. The nocturnal streets of London bear witness to Emily's pure fun and all the encounters she has with the night lover, "the Russian mobster." Nikolay is the Russian she met that night of partying and whom she can't help but see now. Nikolay came to London for the organization's business and ended up staying after meeting that girl who he can't get out of his mind today. It started with a "hello," then a dance, and they ended up sharing a kiss that marked both of their hearts. + "No, please, don't go with him," Emily's friend drops to her knees to catch her right leg, preventing her from taking a step. "Your parents and your friends need you, please, that man..." "Shhh, that man is the one I love, please, I want you to respect my decision." "But... my brother." "Don't talk to me about your brother, he doesn't even know what he wants. Promising me love! Ha, why make promises when he has a pregnant woman." "I don't want to defend him, he cares about you a lot and..." "And you're doing it again. I'm sorry, but I have to go." Emily slowly lowers herself to the same level as her friend. "I love you, and I want you to always remember that. That man you're afraid of is nothing less than the man I love and want for the rest of my days. I don't care how much danger I'm in or what I have to leave behind." The pain and words of Emily are so sincere that it was very difficult for her to make the decision to distance herself from her family. For her, Nikolay is not the man who gives her the love that any masculine man can offer. What kind of qualities should the perfect man have for Emma? Simple! She has always desired a rugged, strong, protective, romantic, thoughtful, daring, and faithful man.

She reached out and traced her fingers along the ribbon that wrapped around his waist. "Well, I've been waiting for this all day. And I'm starving." Sean's smile grew into a predatory grin. "Then let us feast," he said, and in a flash, the ribbon fell away, exposing his rock-hard length. He stepped closer, and Mia felt the warmth of his breath on her face as he whispered, "You're going to take every inch of us tonight, aren't you?"

Will Mia survive their games, or will she lose herself in a dangerous world of secrets, seduction, and forbidden desire? One house. Four brothers. Endless temptation.
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
