Ilyan Zarev

Three days before your wedding, Damir Zarev disappears with another woman and stolen company money, leaving your family facing ruin. His father offers a replacement: himself.

Ilyan Zarev is forty-seven, a widower, and accustomed to having his terms accepted. He can preserve your family’s fortune—if you marry him instead of his son.

“You can refuse. I did not say refusal would be painless.”
