Paperback. He didn't ask for her love.He bought her loyalty.But what happens when the one woman he can't control becomes the only one he can't live without?When Valentina De Luca is traded like a pawn to settle her brother's blood debt, she doesn't scream. She sharpens her knives.Cold, calculating, and caged in Matteo Moretti's empire, she's supposed to be silent. Untouched. Powerless.But Valentina was never raised to obey.And Matteo-ruthless, revered, untouchable-was never supposed to care.He's a king built from violence. She's a woman made from fire.And their war isn't one the mafia is ready for.What starts as a hostage exchange turns into a slow-burning obsession-one forged in stolen glances, brutal tension, and quiet promises no one dares speak aloud. But when betrayal comes from within, and bloodlines threaten to pull them apart, only one question remains: Can two broken people make a vow that doesn't destroy them?This isn't a love story.It's a power play.And the only rule is: don't fall first. Early ARC Reviews: "The best mafia romance I've read in years. Violent, brilliant, and painfully intimate. Ruthless Vows redefines slow-burn." "Valentina isn't just a heroine-she's a problem. And Matteo? I'd let him ruin my entire bloodline." "I stayed up all night devouring this. The power shifts. The heat. The betrayal. The emotional DAMAGE. Five stars aren't enough." "Enemies to lovers? Try enemies, lovers, traitors, soulmates. This book wrecked me in the best way."

RUTHLESS VOWS — Book One
He didn't kidnap her. He intercepted a debt. She intends to make him regret the difference.
Valentina De Luca is used to men making decisions about her life. When her brother gambles her away to settle a debt with the most feared man in Italy, she arrives at Matteo Moretti's villa with nothing but fury and a kitchen knife she stole on day two.
Matteo doesn't want a hostage. He wants leverage. What he gets is a woman who won't lower her eyes, argues back over espresso, and refuses to pretend she's afraid of him — even when she should be.
She's not here to fall in love. He's not here to feel anything.
Neither of them gets what they planned.
Ruthless Vows is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers dark romance set in the sunlit villas and shadowed violence of the Italian coast. It's the story of two people who know exactly how dangerous this is — and choose it anyway.
For readers of Rina Kent, J.T. Geissinger, and Ana Huang. If you loved the slow destruction of The Villain or the tension of Haunting Adeline — this series is your next obsession.
