Until Elara Novak.
She was meant to be a pawn — a key to ancient secrets buried in blood and betrayal. Instead, she became my equal, my shield, and my most lethal asset. Her mind sees the fractures I missed. Her voice dismantles lies that have held the Verona crime dynasty together for generations. With her, the truth isn’t just revealed — it’s weaponized.
I’ve trusted no one. Loved no one. But Elara’s defiance unlocked something in me I can’t cage. Her loyalty is earned, not taken. Her fire lights the darkest corners of my past.
Now, as the serpents of Verona close in, tightening their grip on everything I’ve built, I know one thing with absolute clarity: Elara is mine.
And together, we’re going to turn their legacy of blood into ashes.
Book 2 of 3 in the Vows of the Throne Series — a ruthless, high-stakes mafia romance where betrayal unravels dynasties, loyalty becomes lethal, and power is best wielded by two.
