Bound By Hate by Ivy Davis

I’m not a woman who bows down for any man.
But he said he’d bring me to my knees.

I never wanted to marry a man like Aleksander Vasiliev.
As the oldest sister in my family, I was excpected to make a marriage pact with a high ranking mafia man.
Not someone from the slums of Russia.
Aleksander is a man who thinks himself above his station.
I’m a woman who deserves the best.
When I’m forced into a marriage with Alek, I am appalled.
He pushes my body beyond repair.
He drives my mind to insanity.
I hate him.
But… I’m also drawn to him.
Aleksander knows how to make me feel seen when no one ever has before.
How can I love a monster like him?
One thing I know for certain is: Aleksander will be my salvation…
Or my downfall.

Bound by Hate can be read as a standalone and has a guaranteed happy ending and NO cliffhangers.
