He doesn't waste words. He wasted three years learning not to need anyone at all.
Viktor Kessler is the Falcone family's most feared enforcer — silent, controlled, and dangerous enough that nobody's ever bothered testing exactly how far that control goes. Until a docks negotiation puts him across a desk from a woman who threatens him with a wrench in the first thirty seconds and doesn't flinch when he threatens her right back.
Marina "Mara" Kovalenko didn't survive six years running her father's docks alone by trusting men who show up making promises. She's not about to start with the Falcone family's silent, unreadable enforcer — no matter how much her pulse says otherwise every time he opens his mouth.
But when old debts, a rival family's ambition, and a brother back from the dead all converge on her operation at once, Mara's going to need more than a wrench to survive what's coming. And Viktor's going to have to learn that being known — fully, completely, danger and all — isn't the weakness he's spent his whole life avoiding.
His Silent Vow is a full-length, dark mafia romance with an enemies-to-lovers slow burn, a heroine who never once needs rescuing, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Contains explicit content and themes some readers may find intense — see content notes below.
