Vows Of Ash & Blood by _rhi_delacruzc_

A dynasty built on blood. A marriage bound by war. And two heirs who would rather die than surrender-to their enemies or each other. Anastasia Morozov is the jewel of Russia's most feared mafia empire. The world sees a spoiled, entitled princess-cloaked in wealth, untouched by the violence that fuels her family's reign. But beneath the designer dresses and cold indifference lies a mind sharper than any blade, a master of technology, strategy, and deception. She is her father's most ruthless creation, hidden behind a mask of privilege. And no one-not even her future husband-will ever see her coming. Valerian Lancaster has spent his life carving a path of destruction through Britain's criminal underworld. Brutal, cunning, and utterly ruthless, he bows to no one. But when a rising threat puts his entire family at risk, he is given one choice: marry Anastasia Morozov and secure an alliance, or watch his empire burn. The problem? His bride-to-be is as insufferable as she is untouchable, a spoiled mafia princess who has never faced the real world. Or so he thinks. From the moment they meet, it's war. Their hatred is a fire that refuses to die, fueled by sharp words, unspoken challenges, and a tension neither of them dares to name. But when betrayal strikes and the shadows close in, they are forced to face a brutal truth-alone, they are vulnerable. Together, they are unstoppable. In a world where power is everything, and love is just another battlefield, Anastasia and Valerian must decide: Will their marriage be the beginning of their downfall, or the birth of a new, powerful, yet deadly Mafia empire?

Crimson Vows (Book 1 of Crimson Empire)(Completed) by RosieBloomWrites

"We never asked for this. Our lives were written by others, our hearts shackled to a contract neither of us wanted. But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember. The only reason I even tolerated her was because of her brother-my best friend. The one person I thought I could trust... until I learned I was never supposed to be his ally at all. Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.

Secrets are revealed, enemies close in, and the line between love and destruction blurs. In the mafia world, their love is the ultimate sin-and it might just burn them alive.
