Our Fatal Vows

VALENTINA

I buried my name five years ago.

Then my sister disappears, a yellow scarf drags me back to the city I escaped, and Dante Vescari finds me before I can find her.

He is everything I was taught to fear. Mafia royalty. My family’s enemy. A man with blood on his hands and far too many secrets behind those cold gray eyes.

He says he can help me find Emilia.

What he doesn’t tell me is that he already knows far too much about me.

Dante has watched me. Followed me. Wanted me from a distance I never knew existed. And when our search pulls us into a war built on dead relatives, hidden money, and sins our families would kill to keep buried, staying beside him becomes as dangerous as leaving.

Especially when the only way forward puts his ring on my finger.

I came home for my sister.

I never meant to become the wife of the man I should hate.

And I definitely never meant to crave everything sinful he makes me feel.

DANTE

Valentina was supposed to stay dead.

Not literally.

Just to the people who would destroy her if they discovered where she had been hiding.

I knew where she was. I knew the streets she walked, the workshop where she spent her days, the ordinary little life she built in Lisbon.

I told myself watching her was protection.

That lie became harder to believe every time I wanted more.

Now she is back, her sister is missing, and the secrets connecting our families are beginning to surface. Someone wants Valentina controlled. Someone else wants her silenced.

They will have to come through me first.

Marrying her gives us leverage.

Wanting her makes everything more dangerous.

Because Valentina thinks the worst thing she can discover is what our families did.

She hasn’t discovered everything I did for her yet.

Or everything I did just to have one more glimpse of the woman who was never mine to watch.

My wife wants the truth.

And sooner or later, she is going to find the sins I committed before she ever became mine.This is the first book in The Damned Vows Duet. Reading order:
