Santiago Zayas doesn’t take hostages. He takes wives.
I’ve been terrified of Santiago Zayas for six months—ever since I first saw him covered in my friends’ blood. Now, when peace between warring families demands a bride, he names me as his price.
I’m delivered to his private island and locked inside a marriage I never chose.
He studies fear the way other men study art. Analyzes it. Collects it. Knows exactly where to press until someone fractures.
And he has already decided what I am. A princess, he calls me. A pretty performance with nothing underneath.
He’s not entirely wrong. I’ve spent my whole life becoming whatever the room needed. Sweet. Warm. Harmless. Easy to underestimate.
But Santiago has secrets of his own.
A shuttered room he hasn’t opened in a year. A grief that still breathes through the walls. A name he keeps locked behind his teeth. And a darkness in him that looks a little too much like mine.
The man who watches everything hasn’t noticed that I’m watching back.
I came to his island with nothing but a gemstone loupe, a travel notebook full of cities I may never see, and years of practice at surviving dangerous men.
But Santiago Zayas is not like the others.
He doesn’t want my obedience.
He wants my fear.
And the longer I'''m trapped with him, the harder it becomes to remember which one of us is supposed to be afraid.
Vowed Enemy is a full-length standalone dark mafia romance featuring a forced marriage, a private island, an obsessive morally black hero, a heroine who turns survival into a weapon, enemies-to-lovers tension, explicit open-door heat, and a dark happily ever after.
Book 5 in the Rosetti Club Miami series.
