Vow to Protect

They call me a monster. Murderous and hateful. Beautiful but broken. Nothing can calm the ever-raging storm inside of me. As the ruthless leader of the Doubeck family, there is a certain standard of brutality I have to uphold.

Then I meet her. Beautiful, innocent, and so very afraid. Valentina is a rival family’s daughter, and the little temptress has purposely tangled herself in my dark web. She seeks me out, needing my help, but the price for what she wants will be steep.

Since my father’s death, I’ve needed a wife to solidify my family name, and this woman has piqued my interest. So we strike a deal, intertwining our futures. I’ll put a ring on her finger, own her body, keep her safe, and kill them all.

I make a vow to protect her at all costs. That is until her secrets come to light, and I’m left with the choice of becoming the monster she’s only ever heard rumors about.
