A Devil's Promise is a heart-pounding, emotionally charged tale of love, power, and survival.
At twenty-two, Valentina's life is upended when she learns that her father is the leader of the Greek Mafia. In the blink of an eye, everything she once believed about her family and her world shatters. The life of innocence she once knew is replaced by a dangerous new reality, where loyalty is tested and survival comes at a high cost.
To complicate matters further, Valentina is thrust into an arranged marriage with Luca, the powerful and ruthless leader of the Italian Mafia. Forced into this union, she is torn between her past-filled with love and simplicity-and her uncertain future, filled with danger and darkness.
As she navigates this treacherous world, Valentina must confront the secrets of her family, the truth about her own identity, and the man she is bound to marry. With danger lurking at every turn, and a promise made to a devil, Valentina faces a choice that will shape her future: survive at all costs or embrace the love she never expected in a world built on betrayal.
In A Devil's Promise, nothing is as it seems, and trust is a dangerous game. Will Valentina's heart survive this dark world, or will the promise she's been forced to make break her spirit forever? Join her on a journey of love, betrayal, and discovering what it truly means to survive.

It's not the fact I don't want this, because I do. I voice my thoughts out loud. "Once we do this, we can't go back." His lips meet my neck, pressing small kisses against my skin. "I'm not worried about that. You have made a slave of me for the past 22 years that I've been alive. No matter what you might think, you're mine. You've always been mine." His hand wraps around my chin. "I want your eyes on me." A flicker of approval flickers across his gaze when he sees me obeying. "Now move, sweetheart." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎, the innocent angel.
