FROM POPULAR ROMANCE AUTHOR ARABELLA KINGSLEY Newly edited version! The Russian was a natural Dominant. The woman he took as his bride would honor, love, obey and submit. There would be no room for negotiation. Ariana is summoned to the office of the handsome Russian billionaire Nikolai Antonovich. If she does not agree to become his submissive wife to enable him to close an important deal with a traditional Japanese businessman who believes in marriage, he will expose her sister’s theft from his company to the police and have her put in prison. After a bad experience with her first marriage to a violent man, Ariana is reluctant. But the Russian’s strong dominance is a potent aphrodisiac. Promising to protect her from her stalking husband, the billionaire vows she will want for nothing as his wife, including a child. Greatly tempted after experiencing life as a struggle, Ariana submits to his terms. Nikolai is determined to guide Ariana to accepting her natural sexually submissive nature in his bed and into trusting him. He finds a bruised and emotionally scarred woman underneath her strength and he begins to fall in love with her.

It would be better if it had an epilogue. This story only spans a couple of days. I would love to see how they were a couple of years later. What happened with the ex and others. Too many things left unsolved to give more stars.
Story was okay. There should be an epilog at least a year in the future saying how the couple is doing and if everyone that's after her is taken care of.
I love a dominant, possessive Alpha Russian & Nikolai Antonovich was all that & more. Ariana was married to a very violent man who she continues to run from. Her sister works for Nikolai & has stolen a lot of money from him. Nikolai summons Ariana to his office & tells her she can either marry him or he will make sure her sister goes to jail for a very long time. Ariana is mad, at Nikolai, & especially at her careless, selfish sister but she knows at least with Nikolai she will be safe from her crazy ex so she agrees. This was a quick enjoyable read & I would definitely read more from her.
The book was different he was one sick man I don't know how she didn't find away to leave him you will have to read the book to understand Margie Moran
