My new boss is gorgeous, arrogant, and filthy rich. The only problem? He doesn't know he's also the father of my baby.

Six years ago, I was supposed to get married. But the night before the wedding, my groom-to-be showed me sides of himself I'd never seen before.

I might've died in that hotel room... if Mikhail Novikov hadn't burst in to save me.

Handsome, strong, capable knight in shining armor—sign me up, right? Wrong. Because Mikhail wasn't just the hero I never knew I needed... he was also way more dangerous than I ever could've known.

But for one night, I let myself do something I never should've done. It was worth it—several times over, if you catch my drift. In the morning, though, I did the reasonable thing: I ran.

For six years, I kept running. Until I walk into work one day, and find my new boss waiting in my office. Guess who? And guess what he does when finds out about our baby?

Ivory Ashes is book one of the Novikov Bratva duet. The story concludes in book two, Ivory Oath.
