Blood and vows

Athena Russo, the youngest daughter of the infamous Russo crime family, has spent her life trapped in the shadows of her father, Alejandro Russo, and her overprotective brothers-Elijah, Alessandro, Matteo, and Alexander. To the world, she's nothing more than a rich heiress with a last name that holds power. But in reality? She's been trained to survive in a world where trust is a weakness and love is a weapon.

Then there's Nickolas Kostas-the heir to the rival Greek mafia family. Ruthless. Calculating. A walking storm wrapped in a perfectly tailored suit. The Kostas and Russo families have been at war for years, their blood feud spanning generations. But when Athena's father arranges a marriage alliance to secure peace, she finds herself engaged to the one person she's been taught to hate.

With her best friends Jake Sanders and Leyla Miller by her side, Athena is torn between loyalty to her family and the undeniable pull of Nickolas. But what happens when she starts uncovering secrets-ones that could not only destroy the alliance but also put a target on her back?

And let's not forget her brothers-Matteo and Alexander, the twins, won't let anyone hurt her, especially not Nickolas. Elijah and Alessandro see her as the fragile little sister, but Athena is done being protected. She's ready to take control of her own fate, even if it means defying the most powerful men in her life.
