Ruthless Vows: A Dark Mafia Marriage of Convenience Romance

My father sold me to end a mafia war I never started — to the one man whose name is spoken in my family like a curse. Adrian Voronin, Pakhan of the Voronin Bratva, doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't have to. Men twice his size go quiet when he walks into a room, and I am now, officially, his.

He married me to keep the peace. I married him to keep my brother breathing.

Neither of us planned on this — the way his hand finds the small of my back in rooms full of men who want me dead, the way he asks "who did this to you" like he's already decided how they'll die for it. I tell myself it's possession, not devotion. I tell myself a lot of things to survive in his house.

But Adrian Voronin has a secret bleeding into the foundation of this marriage, one tied to the worst night of my life. And I have one of my own — a federal contact, a plan to protect my family, and a betrayal that could burn both our worlds to the ground.

We are not supposed to want each other. We are definitely not supposed to need each other.

But in a world built on blood debts and buried bodies, love was never going to look like safety. It was always going to look like this — ruthless, reckless, and impossible to walk away from.
