Anastasia

"Strip for me, Anastasia. Strip physically, emotionally, mentally. Strip until you get it into your head that you are mine." Anastasia had the weight of the world on her shoulders. To make matters worse, she had to find a way to keep everything afloat for her family. Thankfully, her friend told her about a job that would ease her financial burden. Working at the club would more than cover her family's medical expenses. It was her only solution, so she accepted. The last thing Anastasia expected was to meet Valentino Romano, club owner and mobster who had one intention--make her his. Unfortunately, as she got closer to Valentino, the uglier things got. Worlds collided, everything crumbled around her, and life as she knew it ceased to exist. One night. One too many drinks. One mistake. That's all it took to derail my marriage. Now, all I can do is beg for a second chance. To try and redeem myself in a bid not to lose the love of my life. I'm determined to use every second, every moment I have to show my wife how much she means to me—to rebuild the trust I shattered. But the harder I try, the more I start to realize our marriage had fallen into a routine of complacency and misplaced priorities long before my indiscretion. Isabelle is a strong, passionate, beautiful woman—a wife who has sacrificed so much for me. I just hope it's not too late for us, and that I'll be able to convince her that our love is meant to be kept. "Anastasia had the weight of the world on her shoulders.
