I married the enemy to destroy him.

I didn't plan on falling for the stranger in the wolf mask first.

For six years, I've hated the Vitale name with the kind of precision only grief can teach. Dominic Vitale's father slaughtered my brother and called it business. So when my own father brokers a marriage to end thirty years of war, I say yes for one reason only: it gets me inside the house, inside the files, inside everything I need to finally prove exactly what the Vitale family took from me.

I don't plan on the masked stranger from the night before my wedding — the one who left a mark on my hip I still can't explain, and a name I never got.

I don't plan on my husband turning out to be him.

Dominic Vitale is precise, controlled, and terrifyingly patient — the kind of don who delivers a warning instead of a body, and somehow that's worse. He tells me our marriage is a transaction. Then he can't stop touching me like it isn't. And every time I think I've finally got the monster I came here to hate figured out, he does something that makes me question everything I built my hatred on.

The lies go deeper than either of us knows. Someone has spent thirty years making sure our two families never stop bleeding — and he's been sitting close enough to toast our wedding the whole time.

By the time I understand who's really pulling the strings, I'm no longer sure which is more dangerous: the war closing in around us, or the way I've started saying my husband's name like it's something I chose.

Vitale Vow is a full-length, standalone-HEA dark mafia romance featuring a slow-burn masked stranger reveal, an arranged marriage neither of them wanted, and a hero who will burn down thirty years of empire for the wife he almost lost. Intended for readers 18+.
