About the book: 2023 / Katerina. They say they are power-hungry, pompous, damn seductive little things. She knows how to attract attention, which usually seems unnecessary to her in the darkness of happiness. For a cold heart there are places of love and tenderness and, it seems, it should remain so until old age. But, once you encounter something dark, forbidden, vicious behind a layer of ice, it will be impossible to escape from it... Semyon. Over the years, he has learned only two things: how to become reckless and purposeful and how to ruin your life with one swipe of a pregnancy test. There is no place for love between him and his wife, only a sacred obligation to his own child. But circumstances in a fever twist into a ball of endless desire. And all he wants is to possess someone who does not belong to him. Cover author: Mlada Ryabinina.
