A Vow of Blood and Roses 🌹
Her family gave her a husband. Italy gave her a nightmare. Dante Moretti is the kind of man people fear mentioning after dark. Cold, ruthless, obscenely wealthy, and born to inherit an empire built on secrets, he has never been told no. Until Aurelia De Luca. At twenty-two, she's suddenly promised to a man who looks at marriage like a business deal and protection like a personal obsession. He expects a quiet, obedient wife. Instead, he gets a woman who steals his coffee, challenges his rules, and has absolutely no problem reminding him that his expensive suits don't make him God. Their marriage might be arranged, but their arguments are entirely genuine. Unfortunately, someone wants their union destroyed. Old family secrets are surfacing, loyalties are shifting, and Dante's carefully controlled world is beginning to crack. He wants to protect her. She wants the truth. Neither is prepared for what happens when the two become impossible to separate. Because in a world where love can be used as a weapon, the most dangerous vow is the one you actually mean. Till death do us part was supposed to be a promise. In their world, it might become a warning.
