Bruised Vows

They promised forever. Neither of them promised it would be beautiful.
She thought marriage meant safety.

He knew better.

When Elena is forced into a marriage with the cold, dangerously powerful man she once swore she would never love, she expects nothing more than a life built on lies, resentment, and duty.

Their vows were supposed to bind them together.

Instead, they became chains.

Every argument leaves a scar.

Every kiss blurs the line between hatred and desire.

And every secret threatens to destroy the fragile bond neither of them wants to admit they need.

They said, "Until death do us part."

But what happens when loving each other feels more dangerous than letting go?
Some vows are made to be broken. Others are made to bleed.
