Why we recommend it
A vicious promise binds two people who never chose each other in this arranged-marriage mafia romance. Expect a cold contract that thaws into combustible tension, a possessive alpha with secrets to keep, and a heroine who refuses to be a bargaining chip. Dark and high-stakes, it's for readers who crave enemies forced to the altar, simmering resentment, and a slow surrender from duty to consuming, dangerous desire.
