Sophia Vinci grew up inside the Russo world-protected, loved, and safe. She learned the rules early: don't stand out, don't make waves. Always on the edge of being the perfect Russo, but never quite reaching it, according to Angelo.
Angelo Russo was her childhood friend once. Then he wasn't.
As heir to a legacy built on control and restraint, Angelo learned to bury everything that made him human-including whatever it was he felt for the girl who had always been there.
Cold distance replaced loyalty. Silence replaced honesty. And Sophia learned the hard way that being close to power doesn't mean being chosen by it.
When a dangerous marriage contract and old threats collide with long-suppressed truths, pretending stops being an option.
As the next generation of the Russo family steps forward, perfection shatters, loyalties shift, and buried tensions surface-some in the open, others in the dark corners no one is watching.
Because in this family, love isn't gentle.
It's always been there.
Blood & Vows is a slow-burn romance rooted in legacy, loyalty, and long-standing tension-where love is not rushed, choices carry weight, and nothing comes without consequence.
