Alexi's Fall

She hated me…in the most savage, violent way. I deserved it all.
Her fists. Her rage.
But I didn’t deserve her love.
Leila Ivanov, daughter to a dangerous Russian Czar is the perfect woman.
Smart, resourceful, stunningly beautiful with piercing blue eyes and a wicked smile.
But that’s not why I wanted her.
I needed to find a way out of the mess I created.
A mess where the CIA came knocking on my door armed with information.
Information that was dangerous…and could get me killed.
And I’d use the wrath of her family to escape it.
But amongst the deceit I found myself falling for her quiet perfection and her deep, throaty laughter.
I found myself falling for her.
Until it was too late…
Those I’d been running from came for me…but they found her instead.
Now I’m staring at the bruises on her face and the betrayal in her eyes.
and I’m on my knees begging her to stay.
I’ll do anything. Pay any price. Kill any man I had to…even if it means my end.
Because a life without her…is no life at all.
