Married to the enemy.

When Keira O'Malley was a child, she used to picture her perfect wedding. The flowers. The dress. Her husband. But nothing could have prepared her for saying "I do" to Dmitri Romanov-cold, domineering, and always one step ahead of everyone else in the ever-shifting power plays of New York City. She agreed to his bargain to secure peace for her family, and she may want the bastard more than she'd ever admit, but she'll be damned if she'll make this marriage easy for him.

Dmitri knows better than to underestimate Keira for one second. Molten desire smolders between them, a dangerous addiction neither can resist. But his enemies are already on the move, and he needs every ounce of his legendary focus and control to keep them alive. Keira could just be his secret weapon-if she doesn't bring him to his knees first.

We finally get to really meet Dmitri! This was the perfect story to end the series. Once again, I was completely taken in by the MMC and his entire backstory. I really wanted him to find somebody to connect with and develop a relationship. I loved seeing Dmitri in his element and navigating the treacherous waters of his business. I loved how the Romanovs finally made peace with the O’Malleys. What I did love was Keira. She was just so so young. I wanted to see her have more identity and agency before she was married to Dmitri. Not a fan of the age and experience gap. Still a solid book to finish off the series.
