He's a Bellandi enforcer. She's a Marchese princess.
Their families have been at war for decades.
Falling for her is a death sentence.
He's doing it anyway.
Luca Bellandi has three rules for survival: Never trust completely. Always have an exit strategy. And never fall for someone from a rival family.
He's about to shatter rule number three.
Valentina Marchese is brilliant, trapped, and treated like a chess piece in her father's empire. When she's forced into a strategic marriage to a man she doesn't love, she makes a choice that will start a war—she runs.
Right into Luca's arms.
Now they're hunted by her family, hiding from his, and fighting for a future that seems impossible. But Luca has a plan. A dangerous, reckless plan that involves fake deaths, real bullets, and claiming Valentina in every way that matters.
Including putting his baby inside her.
She was bred to be a mafia princess.
He's going to make her his wife instead.
Even if he has to burn down both their families to do it.
BRED BY RUTHLESS VOWS is a dark mafia romance featuring a possessive enforcer who'll start a war for the woman he loves, a heroine who chooses freedom over family, tactical spreadsheets as foreplay, breeding kink, and a happily ever after worth fighting for. Book 3 in The Bellandi Syndicate series—can be read as standalone but better together.
