Vow of Shadows: A Gothic Mafia Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798259387768)

He didn't rescue me to set me free. He dragged me into the dark to keep me.

I was the pristine daughter of Elias Vance, the undisputed king of the Diamond District. My father built a glass box around my life, keeping me completely blind to the violent, bloody reality of his empire.

Then Dante Morretti shattered the glass.

In the span of three seconds, my father was executed, his empire turned to ash, and I was left cornered in a freezing alleyway, waiting for a bullet.

Instead, I got the Shadow.

Silas Thorne is the apex predator of the city's underworld-a lethal, calculating syndicate boss who deals in violence and rules through terror. He slaughtered my father's assassins without blinking and carried me away from the wreckage.

But Silas isn't a white knight. He's a monster who claims he took me by right of salvage.

Now, I'm locked inside his impenetrable cliffside fortress. He tells me the world outside is burning, that Dante Morretti won't stop until the Vance bloodline is entirely erased. Silas swears he will scorch the earth before he lets anyone touch me. He is my warden, my protector, and the most dangerous man I have ever met.

I should be terrified of him. I should spend every waking moment trying to escape the heavy, intoxicating gravity of his presence.

But as the war rages outside our walls, the pristine girl I used to be is dying. And the dark, unhinged devotion in Silas's winter-sky eyes is awakening something completely ruthless inside of me.

Dante Morretti thinks he's hunting a ghost. He's about to find out exactly what happens when the king of the shadows finds his queen.
