A family contract. A dark bargain. No escape. Eleven years ago, I met him. A year later, I was betrothed to him. Now he’s come to claim me, slaughtering anyone standing in his way. My husband-to-be is a monster from a family as ruthless and powerful as mine, a man who deals in violence and destruction... a man terrifyingly like my father. For over a decade, he’s stalked me, shadowing my life. I fear him. I hate him. Worst of all, I want him. My name is Alina Molotova, and Alexei Leonov is a fate I can’t escape.

I shouldn’t have heard the things I did. Shouldn’t have attracted his attention. Now I feel his stare like a touch. Viscerally. Acutely. The Russian assassin has me in his sights, and there’s only one way out. His bed. Good thing I’m drawn to danger.

Live-in tutor wanted for four-year-old. Must be willing to relocate to a remote mountain estate. $3K/week cash. On the run from ruthless killers, I’m down to ten bucks in my wallet and a half-tank of gas in my ancient car when I spot the ad. The job sounds like the answer to my prayers, but there’s a catch. The child’s father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I’ve ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is a tantalizing mystery, a lethally alluring contradiction. Bruised knuckles and tailored suits, tender endearments and dirty promises—my new employer draws me in like a magnet, even as my instincts scream for me to run. I should’ve heeded them… because I’m not the only one with secrets. My safe haven just might be the devil’s lair, and once he’s claimed me, it will be too late to run.

My instincts warned me that Alex Volkov is a dangerous man. My mind told me to run when he set his sights on me with unfaltering determination. It’s not that I didn’t try to resist, but Alex had a game plan. He was always one step ahead of me, skillfully drawing me deeper into his web. Even when he gave me freedom, it was only an illusion. Now, even that illusion has vanished. I’m his prisoner in the truest sense of the word, whisked away to Russia on his private plane. I no longer have a say, not while our lives are at risk, and maybe never again. Our story balances on a thin edge between disaster and happiness. With each day that passes, I grow less certain of which side the coin will land on… or if we’ll even survive. Note: This is the conclusion of Alex and Kate''s story.

He will stop at nothing until I’m bound to him in every way. And marriage is only the beginning. Alexei For eleven years, I’ve plotted and waited, consumed with fantasies of what it would be like once Alina Molotova was finally mine. Now that I have her, my obsession with her is only getting stronger. My plans for her may be ruthless, but I’ll do whatever it takes to chain her to me—mind, body, and heart. Only, there’s one thing I didn’t count on. One variable I didn’t plan for. The twisted hand of fate.

Oh, and three cats in a tiny Brooklyn studio? Yep, she’s got those. And yes, fine, she hasn’t had a date since… well, she can’t recall. But that part is fixable.

Back in the devil’s lair, I’m at the mercy of a man who fascinates and terrifies me, a tender killer whose obsession with me is growing by the day.

If only I could resist his lethally seductive touch... or fight his growing hold on my heart and mind. Because no matter how far I delve into the enigma of his past, I still don’t know the answer to the most crucial question: Just how dangerous is his love for me? Note: This is the conclusion of Nikolai and Chloe’s story.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Or does it? Okay, let me explain. I broke into my crush’s dressing room to sniff his tights (not in a pervy way, I swear!) and got busted while, um... you get the idea. He then kind of, sort of blackmailed me into agreeing to a fake green card marriage with him. But hey, I’m not complaining. Next thing I know, we’re on a flight to Vegas to make our friends and family think we had a crazy drunken night and, in the spur of the moment, tied the knot. Except… that’s exactly what happens. (Thanks a lot, vodka.) Considering that he’s the most desirable ballet dancer in New York City and I’m a garage-dwelling secret blogger with a major sweet tooth, there’s no way this marriage could ever become real. Not to mention my totally crazy family and my aversion to every smell under the sun—except his. All I can hope for is to not fall in love with my husband. That shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Demo: http://youtu.be/YfUNCwJT_Wo Regular version of the book: https://www.createspace.com/4021797 Effect: A best-selling sci-fi romance novel paperback is presented for a book test. Performer states that, in order to get a completely random image, a book might come in handy.Ordinarily, people tend to think of a finite list of things. For example, a house. The performer highlights the ordinary nature of the book. He (optionally) even asks if anyone wants to use their own book (if so, he will do a Hoy book test with the book provided). With a spectator chosen and the book provided, the spectator is asked to first examine the book.Once they are happy with the book, the spectator is asked to think of any page in the book mentally, without saying it out loud. The performer mentions that even if he memorized the whole book, without knowing a page number, that memorization would be useless. The spectator is instructed to open the book to the page he is thinking of and read the first complete sentence. He is warned that the book might have some erotic content and, if that sentence is embarrassing, he is to choose another.When the sentence is chosen, he is asked to re-read it silently. He is to focus on the sentence, and, if possible, on a word that is easy to picture. The book is put away. The performer draws his impression. Afterwards, he asks what image is in the person''s mind. The spectator is asked to draw it in the air, or to just say the sentence or the easy-to-picture word (depends on the presentation). It turns out that the performer''s impression is spot on. The book can be now given away as a souvenir (the performer switches it for the much less expensive ''real'' book since he can get it for this purpose in bulk at decent prices). Bare-bones presentation: Book is introduced. Its existence on Amazon and other stores is highlighted. Person thinks of a page, turns to it with the performer facing away. The person is then told to read the first full sentence on that page to himself/herself. Person focuses on the sentence and then on a word that is easy to picture in the sentence. Performer faces away all the time, draws a heart, and then reveals the heart to the person and the audience. Method: You use a book that is gimicked in a way. It is a version of a real novel, but one where sentences were written in on the beginning of each page (first full sentence) to contain the word heart. These sentences fit the story perfectly. In fact, they were edited by Anna Zaires, the author of the actual novel. Thus, the book can be examined very closely before the effect. After the effect, however, I strongly recommend putting the book out of sight and/or switching it for the original un-gimicked version. I usually give away a copy of an un-gimicked book at every performance. My switch is super-simple: as part of the presentation, I have the book put into a bag. Then, when I do the giveaway, I give away the real, u-ngimicked version. I have also used switch bags and other method for switching. During a formal show, no one ever asks to examine the book after the effect, but during close-up, they sometimes do - and I use one of the methods mentioned. Subtleties: This book has sexual content (think fifty shades of gray), so I often say "if the page you open to happens to have something embarrassing on it, just choose another". This emphasizes the freedom of choice of page, and how regular the book is (why would you ever put sex scenes into a ''trick book''?). When drawing the heart I first often draw something that looks like heart-rate monitor output. It helps disguise what I am drawing plus it can be part of the revelation because very many sentences in the book deal with heart beating faster in some way. I put a period after Volume I on page 1 of the gimmicked book for easy way to check which of the 2 I am holding.
