Vengeful Vows by N. E. Henderson

They put a needle in my neck, and I woke up wearing another man’s ring.

Lorik Kovaçi. The most feared man in Washington. The enemy my family thought they buried thirteen years ago. He stole me out of my own life, married me at the point of a gun, and swore that if I ever ran, he would always come for me—that I would never, ever be free of him.

He should terrify me. He does.

But I have a secret I clutch in the dark like a blade. For eighteen months, a masked stranger has been watching me. A ghost with no face and no name who knows my nightmares, my body, the exact map of every broken place inside me. I fell for him long before I ever met the monster—and I held on to loving him to survive being a Kovaçi’s wife.

Two men.

One I would die for. One I would kill.

And I never once let myself ask why they both whisper the same name when they touch me.

Everyone around me already knows the truth. By the time I find the proof, by the time I understand that the ghost I worship and the husband I hate are the same lying, ruthless, devastatingly devoted man, half his bloodthirsty world is hunting me, his own mother wants me dead, and the only person left to save me is the one who ruined me first.

I married a stranger.

I fell for a stalker.

God help me, I think I love them both.

And only one of us is walking out of this marriage with a heart still beating.
