I was handed to him to settle a debt he doesn't know exists.
Ionna Volkova has spent her whole life keeping her guard up — until her father announces her engagement to Matteo Marchetti over breakfast, like it costs nothing at all. Matteo is warm, charming, and considerably more perceptive than she wants him to be. What he doesn't know is that her brother's reckless debt to a dangerous, exiled man has already turned her into a weapon aimed at Matteo's own family, and she has exactly one wedding date to decide whether to tell him the truth or lose everything trying to protect him from it.
When Ionna finally breaks her silence, it sets off a war neither family is fully prepared for — a kidnapping, a mole hiding in plain sight, and a man who has spent three years patiently plotting exactly how to make the family that humiliated him pay. Matteo and Ionna will have to survive a threat considerably larger than either of them, choose each other without their fathers' permission, and decide exactly how much courage it takes to finally stop being afraid.
Vow of Ice is a dark, slow-burn mafia romance featuring a guarded heroine, a hero who refuses to give up, and a danger that threatens far more than one arranged marriage. Contains explicit content and themes intended for mature readers.
Vow of Ice is Book Three in the Kastellan Bratva series. Start with Vow of Ruin and Vow of Ash.
Genre: Mystery
