The Dark Marquis
Book 0
of
For twenty-five years, all I’ve wanted is vengeance.
The only thing I have left of my family is the castle – my home, my legacy – plagued by vermin and funded by the Bratva. It’s the seat of power I’ll soon reclaim, and I’ve vowed to let nothing distract me, least of all a woman.
I have a plan for overthrowing the order that obliterated my family, but first I’m ordered to complete one last assignment: steal a rival’s only daughter, repair her fractured mind, and allow her to be used as a pawn.
There’s only one problem: Alexandra doesn’t just complicate my plans – she’s an obsession that weakens me.
Can I afford what she will cost me?
