They're enemies.
Alena Brennan's relationship with Andre Makarov is... complicated. The casino magnate was a means to an end. Nothing more. At least that was what she tried to tell herself. Then she fell for him. Hard. But he kicked her out of his life when he discovered her lies.
Now she's pregnant with his baby.
Andre understands why Alena wanted revenge. His father took everything from her, leaving her an orphan at a young age. But Andre still had to cut her out of his life. Now that his father is dead, she's safe. He should just move on. But when he learns she's carrying his child, all pretense is gone-he'll protect Alena whether she likes it or not. She may kick up a fuss, but Andre knows the gorgeous model with a party-girl rep attracts attention...including the dangerous sort.
Author note: Alena and Andre were introduced in the book Retribution but this can be read as a stand-alone novella.
