Maksim's Fake Girlfriend

Maksim Morozov. Russian, sexy, pepper and salt hair, and has a voice that penetrates anyone's heart. Mariena knows he means trouble. She's always been aware of that since their unlikely encounter in that shop while he browsed for tampons for his paraplegic sister. Still, how can Mariena not dream about him when he's the first man she's talked with that her father didn't approve of beforehand? He keeps her on a tight leash and pure, all for the purpose of marrying her off to the richest oil magnate he's friends with. Maksim isn't just from the Bratva, but also with PMC Wagner. His life has always been dangerous and he's never experienced true love - not until meeting Mariena and being stranded in the quaint little town of Larton. But being stuck there for now while using Mariena for his own benefit comes with another advantage. She needs him as her boyfriend to fend off her nightmarish marriage proposals, which means that she can become his fake girlfriend, too.
It's a match. It all means hope for Mariena, but little does she suspect that he might hurt her heart as much as he can love her.
