Ruthless Vows by Ashlie Silas

I had one fiery night with a mysterious stranger, and then I was forced to marry him.

The ruthless don is twice my age, dangerous, and oozing power—everything I was taught to avoid.
Yet I can’t forget how his touch set my world on fire.
The next morning, I disappeared. No names, no promises, no looking back… or so I thought.
Months later, fate intervenes.
He stands before me: Ivan Volkov, billionaire and ruthless leader of the Russian Bratva.
This time, it’s no coincidence.
He knows exactly who I am: Lucia Maranzano, mafia princess in hiding.
Now, he’s invoking a deal made with a dead man to force me into marriage.
I should despise him. But my body betrays me,
remembering every forbidden touch, every heated whisper from that one night.
As enemies, we clash. As lovers, we burn.

In the end, there’s no escaping the don—I’ll either surrender to his power or rise as his equal,
bound by these ruthless vows.
