Vows in the Dark

Vows in the Dark He lives in the shadows. She hides behind vows she never chose. But in the ruthless world of the mafia, love is the most dangerous vow of all. Vicenzo is the cold, silent consigliere of the Florida mafia—a man feared for his lethal precision. Redemption was never in his plans… until a mission in Sicily collides him with a woman who shouldn't be his salvation. Martina has spent years buried in a convent, concealing a secret that could ignite a war between the most powerful mafia families. She thought she had locked away her heart—until a wounded stranger forces his way into her life and awakens everything she tried to forget. When passion binds them, Vicenzo claims her as his wife in defiance of her family's will. But the mafia does not forgive weakness. Betrayal strikes, and to protect her, he sacrifices his freedom—trading his life for hers behind the bars of a Russian prison. Now he's back. Five months have passed, and Martina is about to be forced into another man's arms. But Vicenzo has returned to reclaim her—at any cost. Yet shadows still cling to him. The secret he carries is deadly enough to topple kings of the Cosa Nostra and the Camorra. To love him is to walk into fire. To choose him is to risk everything. In a world where loyalty is paid in blood and enemies are made with a kiss, Vicenzo and Martina must decide: How much are they willing to lose… to keep their vows in the dark?
