Vows of Sin & Despair

Xena Whaters had always known her life was not her own. Born into the bloodstained legacy of her father's empire, she was raised to obey, to never question. But when she is promised to Yael DeLucas-the Reaper of Milan-she realizes obedience may no longer be an option.

Cold, calculated, and deadly, Yael is a man carved from stone. He has no use for love, no interest in tenderness. Their marriage is a truce between warring families, nothing more. Yet Xena quickly learns that behind his ruthless reputation lies something even more dangerous-an untold truth, buried beneath layers of control.
The whispers start before the wedding vows are even spoken. Secrets that could shatter the fragile alliance between their families. Threats lurking in the dark, closer than either of them realize.

One night, the walls between them begin to crack.
A gunshot in the distance. A blade pressed against her throat. And then, his voice, low and steady. "You want to survive this, Xena? Stay close to me. Because I'm the only thing keeping you alive."
Enemies by blood, bound by duty, and trapped in a game neither of them wanted to play. But in a world where loyalty is fleeting and betrayal is inevitable, the most dangerous thing of all... is wanting the one person you were never meant to have.

Coming Soon.
