Description

He needs a wife. I need revenge.To the world, Maxim Belov is a self-made billionaire with charm as deep as his pockets. But strip away the politician’s smile and crisp Armani suits, and you’ll find the puppetmaster commanding Moscow's underworld—the man who decides who lives or dies.He’s my best friend's father and the last person I'd want as an enemy, but when I discover his role in my aunt’s death, I'm hell-bent on retribution. And what better way to learn his secrets than standing by his side—as his wife.In front of the cameras, he's all adoring smiles and sweet gestures, but behind closed doors, the devil comes out to play. He’s my every dark fantasy come to life, setting my body on fire with his filthy words and sinful touch. But I’ll never forget the blood on his hands. When the time comes, Maxim will pay for his sins.Shattered Crown is an age-gap marriage of convenience mafia romance. It has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Can be read as a complete standalone.
