Some debts are inherited. Some are survived. Some change everything.
Sienna Marchetti has spent her entire life outrunning a name. Her father vanished when she was six months old - convicted of murdering the founder of Chicago's most powerful criminal accord - and the debt he left behind has followed her ever since.
Now it's come to collect.
Dante Moretti is the most feared Don in Chicago. Precise. Controlled. A man who built an empire on the understanding that every debt has a price and every price has a number. The Marchetti blood debt is twenty years old, and the number is simple: one marriage, one year, one arrangement that costs Sienna nothing she isn't willing to give.
Or so he says.
Sienna arrives at the Moretti estate expecting a transaction. What she finds is more complicated - a man who sets his cufflinks on the table before he says anything honest, a garden tended by someone who shouldn't be there, and a twenty-year-old conviction that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
The truth about her father's disappearance is buried somewhere inside the Accord's founding records. And the man she was forced to marry may be the only person ruthless enough to help her find it.
RUTHLESS VOWS is a slow-burn literary dark romance about inherited guilt, buried truths, and the kind of love that arrives before you've decided to let it. For readers who want substance with their slow burn.
