TWISTED VOWS
A Dark Arranged Marriage Trilogy Silvya Ashbourne was born to be adored. A perfect doll with porcelain skin, green eyes sharp as glass, and a crown of blonde hair. Cold, cruel, untouchable-she ruled the halls of their private school with a smile like a blade. People worshiped her beauty, ignored her venom, and envied the throne she built on fear. Axel Hawthorne was born to be obeyed. The Hawthorne heir, ruthless even as a boy, with grey eyes like storm clouds and a voice that silenced rooms. A god to some, a devil to most. He fought, destroyed, and commanded, his name carrying the weight of England's richest, most feared family. Once, they were children raised on privilege and poison. Once, she mocked him when his family fell. Once, he swore he'd never forgive. Now, at twenty-two, they are bound by an arranged marriage meant to merge two empires. But Axel doesn't want peace-he wants revenge. And Silvya, sharp-tongued and unapologetic, refuses to bow. What begins as a war of hate spirals into something darker: a union of obsession, a love as twisted as the lies that ruined them, and a crown built on blood. Because the greatest betrayals don't come from enemies. They come from the ones who should have been family. He is the devil who burns empires. She is the doll who breaks chains. Together, they will either destroy each other... or rule the world. -- THIS IS BOOK1 OF THE HEIRS TRILOGY. THIS NOT A STANDALONE. -- "She ruined me once. Now I'll ruin her forever." --Complete
