Cruel Vows: A Possessive Mafia King Romance
Blood brought them together. Fire will set them free.
In the shadows of New Chicago, power isn't earned-it's inherited, stolen, or bought in blood. For Sloane Moretti, life has been a sequence of gilded cages, culminating in an arranged marriage to the man who dismantled her father's empire.
Dante Vane is the "Ghost"-a lethal, calculated sovereign who rules the Iron District with an iron fist and a frozen heart. He bought Sloane to finalize a vendetta, intending to use her as a trophy of his victory. But the Moretti Princess isn't the fragile doll he expected. Beneath the silk and velvet lies a woman forged in the furnace of mafia brutality, a hawk waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
When a shadowy triumvirate of international syndicates-The Bear, The Wolf, and The Vulture-collapses the city's power structure, the forced proximity of their marriage turns from a cold war into a searing alliance. As secret parentage, faked deaths, and decades-old betrayals emerge from the digital ash of a city-wide disclosure, Sloane and Dante must decide if their vows are a death sentence or the blueprints for a new, darker dynasty.
They were born to be enemies. They were married to be trophies. They will stay together to be monsters.
