Crimson Vows

Crimson Vows

In the world of Italian mafia families, power is never just human.

Elena Moretti has always lived behind silence, luxury, and control-raised in an estate where every decision is calculated and every emotion has a price. When her family announces an arranged marriage to secure a dangerous alliance, she expects politics.

Not a dead man returning from the grave.

Xavier De Santis was supposed to stay buried.

A weapon forged through a forbidden curse. A failed experiment in control. A vampire who should not exist-because whatever brought him back didn't create something obedient.

It created something untamed.

He doesn't follow rules. He doesn't answer to bloodlines. And he can tell when someone is lying just by the sound of their heartbeat.

But the moment he steps into Elena's world, something shifts-something neither of them understands.

Because Elena is not just a mafia heir.

And Xavier is not the only thing that should have stayed dead.

In a house built on secrets, there is something locked beneath the walls-something ancient enough to remember what they are before they were named.

And it's starting to wake up.

As enemies forced into a marriage neither of them chose, Elena and Xavier are trapped in a dangerous closeness where hatred turns into obsession... and survival means learning the truth about what they really are.

But some truths were buried for a reason.

And some bloodlines were never meant to meet.
