He could give her anything her heart longed for—except for one thing. Alexander I refused to be trapped in hell ever again. But even devils have dreams. If I had one wish this Christmas, it would be to give Krystina what she desperately wanted more than anything—a baby. I would do anything for my wife, but that was before the world fell into chaos. Too much had changed and fear of the madness surrounding us was all-consuming. I had to protect the woman I loved above all else—even if it meant keeping her locked in a gilded cage.
