Tempted by Duty: Hired to Protect, Forbidden to Love


Overview

They took everything from me - my freedom, my future... my life, almost. But they made one fatal mistake: they gave my bodyguard a conscience. Irina Ivanov has never made a choice in her life. The daughter of Moscow's most powerful oligarch, she is a prisoner in her own home, sold to the highest bidder, and destined for a forced marriage with Alexei Volkov - a ruthless mobster whose cruelty is legendary. A wedding gown. A death sentence. Viktor Kozlov, a former FSB agent, was hired to protect her. That's all. Protect. Watch. Leave. But the first night he sees her - vulnerable, brilliant, broken - everything changes. He doesn't see a spoiled heiress. He sees a woman slowly drowning, silently begging to be saved. Three weeks until her wedding. Time enough to fall in love. Not enough to escape. As Viktor uncovers the horrifying secrets of the Ivanov family, he realizes Irina isn't the only prisoner. Her mother, thought dead for twenty years, is alive - locked away in a Siberian psychiatric facility, tortured to control her daughter. Electric shocks, drugs, decades of torment. And the clock is ticking. Viktor makes a promise he might not survive: he will save them both. Irina from her forced marriage. Her mother from a living nightmare. But Dmitri Ivanov, master of control and violence, will not let his daughter go. And Alexei Volkov... is far more dangerous than anyone imagines. Every move. Every whisper. Every stolen kiss carries deadly risk. A wedding destroyed. A deadly chase across Europe. Sacrifices that might never be enough. But in love and war, nothing is ever simple. Tempted by Duty is a dark, romantic thriller full of: Forbidden love with impossible stakes Alpha heroes with dangerous pasts and redemption arcs Strong, unyielding heroines fighting for survival Heart-pounding action: chases, betrayals, and life-or-death moments Steamy romantic tension that keeps your pulse racing Twisted family secrets, revenge, and survival against the odds A triumphant, hard-earned happy ending From captivity to freedom, despair to hope, and survival to love, this is a story about choosing to fight for what you want, even when the cost could be everything. Warning: Mature content, violence, emotional abuse, and PTSD themes. Not for the faint of heart. But if you crave dark romance, high-stakes suspense, and love that defies danger, this is the book for you.
