Synopsis:

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.

Push
 
Everyone knows what they need to about me. I’m a dangerous man with a dark and twisted soul. A killer. I’m in the business of power, and money flows through every corrupted vein in my body. They call me Push. I run the wicked streets of Washington D.C. I have everything I could possibly want, except one thing – Nadia. She’s like a delicious drug running through my sinister veins. I’ve wanted her ever since she was just a teenager. But I’ve held myself back, keeping my need for her hidden, even from her… especially from her. I’ve seen the fear that flashes in Nadia’s eyes when she looks at me, but she can’t hide the lust that accompanies it. Her energy is like a damn aphrodisiac. Now her life is in danger and she’s come to me for protection. I think we both know I’ll keep her alive, and keep her as my own, but she’ll not be safe, not from me.
Nadia
 
I don’t even know his real name. Everyone calls him Push, but he can’t push me around and I think he knows that. He’s a notoriously dangerous man, intimidating everyone he comes into contact with. He’s rugged, with dark eyes – eyes that frighten me, but light me aflame at the same time. In a way, I guess I can understand parts of him. My own father is corrupt and depraved, and my mother died so many years ago that all I have left are scattered images of her memory. The sole purpose I have is to fulfill my father’s hunger for money, corruption and power. I’m nothing but a pawn to him, when I should to be so much more than just a piece to move in his game. He gave me to Lucas Peterson, a man who matches my father’s ambition. Lucas is just as cruel, and maybe even more sinister. When my father is killed, it’s now that I realize the only person I can trust to protect me is the man I’ve kept at bay. Push.

I am an eighteen year old high school graduate who has just experienced my first… well, everything. I would give anything to hold on to Cooper but we made a decision. After thirty hours of falling in lust, after tonight we are parting ways. I am starting college and I can’t be distracted. Besides he has his own life to get back to. 

***
The moment I saw her I knew she was the one but what my heart wants it doesn’t get. I know how life works. I have been fighting most of my life. My dad was a fighter and so was his dad. I watched my mom cheat on him and in return he destroyed her. I will never do that to a woman. I get thirty hours with Liz and then we are both walking away. At the end of the day, all we will have is the memories we have created here in Miami.
***
Five years later Liz runs into Cooper only he has no idea that memories weren’t the only thing they created in Miami. He broke her heart once the day he left and her heart is now guarded. Will he succeed in winning her heart back a second time? The only thing he knows for sure is that he is fighting for a second chance and this time he will not let her go.

Growing up, my parents were the embodiment of love. The perfect example of soul mates. And with that ideal I couldn’t wait to find my true love. 


The day I met her my entire world shifted on its axis and I knew she was the one. The problem is, how do you convince someone they are your soulmate when they don’t even believe in love? There was a time I believed that love truly conquered all, but now I’m losing Faith.
***
My mom once said, “Love isn’t concrete. It’s an emotion and emotions are abstract. They change. You don’t make decisions based on something abstract because if you do, you are setting yourself up for failure.”

I didn’t understand her words at the time. I was young and in love and if you had asked me to define what I was feeling it would have consisted of words such as affection, warmth, happiness, butterflies, happily ever after.

Now after experiencing heartbreak firsthand my definition of love is a bit different. It consists of words like messy, heartbreak, waste of time, unrealistic, fake.

Until I met him. He reminded me of all the words love felt like before my heart was broken. He wanted to show me the beauty in the abstract but all I could see was the concrete.
