Painted Scars

Roman Petrov: he’s pakhan for the Russian Bratva. After an explosion left him in a wheelchair he fears his men will see him as weak. He needs to uncover who planted the device. The solution? A fake marriage for 6 months to give the promise of an heir.

Nina Grey: an accomplished artist, but more importantly an extremely believable actress with a knack for creating and acting out personas. Her father is unable to repay the 3 million he ”borrowed” from the mafia leaving her no choice but to agree to the marriage in name only. Roman’s not what she expected— he’s surprisingly attractive, and not 80. What happens to a fake marriage when you’re no longer pretending?

Broken Whispers

It’s time to end the Russian and Italian feud. How? A wedding of course. Between Mikhail Orlov and Bianca Scardoni: the Italian capo’s middle daughter and head ballet dancer of the Chicago Opera Theater now retired at 21 due to a past injury. The accident also left her unable to speak; using ASL to communicate. Her father arranges the marriage under the guise of a truce. He hopes his daughter will spy and learn the inner workings of the Russian organization. Where does her loyalty lie?

Mikhail Orlov. When the pakhan asked which of his men will accept the marriage he couldn’t believe it was her. His obsession. The ballet dancer he’s lurked behind the scenes to watch. The fear his scars cause is a plus in his line of work. Not so much when trying to meet a woman. He’s 10 years her senior, covered in scars, and wears an eye patch. Not the likely choice for the marriage. When she first sees his appearance walking down the isle on their wedding day he fears she may run.

Her accident left her unable to speak. His accident made him hate anyone touching him. They’re an unlikely pair, but together they can overcome their struggles.
