Blood Promise

ARIANAI was never meant to belong in his world.One moment I was a daughter, a sister, a woman with choices.The next-I was a possession.He called it protection. I called it prison.But somewhere between fear and fury, my heart learned his language.Now every beat reminds me that even in a cage, love can bleed.And I don't know which is deadlier-his touch or the way I crave it. ALESSANDROShe was supposed to be leverage.A name on a list, a means to an end.I didn't plan on her silence cutting deeper than any bullet.I didn't plan on her eyes unmaking everything I was.The world I rule demands blood, obedience, control-but she made me remember what it felt like to have a heart.And that mistake will cost us both. This is the first book in the Blood Promise Series. Reading Order: Silent Heart, Cruel Vice, Sinful Crave.

What we are now is dangerous.Because loving him was my sin once-and this time, it might be my vice.ALESSANDROI let her go once. I won't do it again.The empire's burning around me, but she's still the only thing I can't destroy.She thinks she's escaped the monster.She doesn't see that I built the darkness to keep her safe.I'll make her remember who she belongs to-even if it damns us both.This is the second book in the Blood Promise Series. Reading Order: Silent Heart, Cruel Vice, Sinful Crave.
