Elena Romano was once the perfect mafia wife-obedient, devoted, and naive. But when the man she loved framed her for a crime she didn't commit, she lost everything. Left for dead, she vanished, rebuilding herself from the ashes of betrayal. Now, she's back. No longer the meek woman Luca Moretti abandoned, Elena returns as a force to be reckoned with-a woman powerful enough to bring down the empire that betrayed her. But crossing paths with Luca again wasn't part of her plan. He's colder now, more dangerous, yet the fire between them never died. He needs her. She wants revenge. But in a world where trust is a death sentence and love is a weakness, will they destroy each other first-or will the truth behind their past shatter everything? He broke her heart. Now, she might have to break his.

Blurb for Bloodstained Vows In the mafia, love is just another contract to break. Matteo DeLuca is a king in the underworld-ruthless, untouchable, and feared by all. His word is law, his enemies buried before they can whisper his name. But when a long-forgotten arrangement forces him into marriage with Valeria Moretti, the daughter of his sworn enemy, he finds himself trapped in a dangerous game where power, loyalty, and desire collide. Valeria has spent her life in the shadows of men who see her as nothing more than a pawn. But she is no damsel, no fragile princess to be traded away. When Matteo underestimates her, she proves she can stand on her own-even in a world where love is a weakness and betrayal is inevitable. Their marriage was meant to be a ceasefire. A formality. A way to keep the bloodshed at bay. But in the mafia, peace is a lie. With a war brewing between their families and enemies lurking in every shadow, Matteo and Valeria must decide: will they destroy each other, or will they fight together against a common enemy? One thing is certain-neither of them will escape unscathed. Blood. Betrayal. Passion. In this world, love demands a price. And for Matteo and Valeria, it might just cost them everything.

That I haven't tried to stay away?" He steps closer, eyes darkening as he runs a finger down my arm.

"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers. "W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night-the night that had changed her life completely. "What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear. Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all. "Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine. "Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me." •••••••••• In the world of the entertainment industry, we see constant change and creativity. Trends come and go, as do collaborations between artists and producers. This world can make anyone wish to be a part of it-it is said to be inspiring and enjoyable...

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

Book Excerpt: Donovan's POV Her enchanting green eyes that were alive with passion the day I told her she could go shopping are pale with only despair dancing in them. "Oh, I'm quite aware of my duties as your wife, Mr. Castellano." My eyes darken at the formal use of my name. I've told her to stop doing that. It feels wrong. Like she doesn't belong to me. I clench my jaw as I wait for her to finish her sentence but her cold smile widens. "Ah, you don't like when I call you Mr. Castellano, right? Too bad. You can't force my mouth to say what you want to hear." Blood rushes to my groin as her words settle in the tensed air between us. Does she realize the gravity of what she'd just said? Does she know she'd moaned my name while I had her wet cunt in her mouth? Does she know how needy she'd been when she wanted me to take her even though she wasn't awake? And is she aware that I know how bad she wants me in her dreams while she pretends in real life to hate me? She glares up at me while I seethe, looking down at her.

The Donovan in my dreams is drastically different from the one in real life. If my plans to escape from this marriage don't work, I may end up dead or worst, in love with Donovan Castellano. And I'd rather die now than to fall in love with him and die later. *** Many years ago, Donovan Castellano went through something that irrevocably changed him for the worst, and Eliana's father was to blame. Years later, Eliana's father dies. Eliana doesn't know her father's dark past or why Donovan Castellano bought her and then married her.
