VELVET VOWS

Synopsis

Bonnie Pattharaphus is an innocent baker whose tiny neighborhood bakery is known for bringing warmth to everyone who walks through its doors.

Emi Amily is the city's most feared mafia boss-a woman whose life has been built on blood, loyalty, and impossible choices.

One stormy night, fate brings them together when a wounded Emi collapses inside Bonnie's bakery after surviving an assassination attempt.

Bonnie offers her shelter.

Emi offers her protection.

Neither expects their worlds to collide, let alone fall in love.

As flour-covered mornings replace lonely nights and stolen smiles soften old scars, Bonnie becomes the only place Emi has ever called home.

But peace never lasts in a world ruled by violence.

When betrayal comes from within Emi's own family, the sanctuary they've built is destroyed. Forced into one final war, Emi realizes she can no longer save herself.

She can only save the woman who taught her that even the darkest soul deserves to be loved.

Some vows are spoken at the altar.

Theirs were written in flour, blood, and the promise of forever.
