Blood Debt: Two Rivers Compact, Book One
They were raised to be each other's executioner.
For three weeks, that's exactly the deal Cillian Doyle and Sebastian Vane are stuck with.
Cillian enforces the docks. Sebastian enforces the old city. For six years, that's all either of them has needed to know about the other: enemy, obstacle, the reason his own father can't sleep at night. Then a body turns up on the one strip of ground both families have left alone for a century, three weeks before the truce between them is due for renewal, and somebody has to answer for it before the deal collapses into open war.
Somebody, in this case, means both of them. Together. In rooms too small for six years of practiced hatred.
Cillian's just trying to keep his dying father's empire from bleeding out before he's ready to lose it. Sebastian's just trying to prove he was worth the seat his aunt handed him after a purge he didn't ask for. Neither one of them is trying to fall for the man he was raised to kill.
That doesn't stop it from happening.
As the case tightens and the ceremony deadline bears down, Cillian and Sebastian have to decide what they're willing to burn for each other: their families' trust, the fragile peace between two rival empires, and every rule that ever kept them alive. Someone wants them dead before they get the chance to choose.
We were built to end each other. Someone else wanted to do it first.
Blood Debt is a dark, brutal, achingly tender M/M mafia romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, possessive claiming, and rival-family power dynamics. Book One in the Two Rivers Compact series.
This book contains explicit sexual content and graphic violence intended for mature readers.
