BRUTAL VOWS
Queens & Monsters book 4
An Irish mobster with a brutal grudge.
An Italian mafia princess with a dark secret.
Two enemy empires joined in sacred marriage vows.
Let the hating games begin.
Reyna
If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother is trying to sell my innocent niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this whole arranged marriage BS they’ve concocted, he should think again.
I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make Gianni capo of the Five Families and permanently secure our place among the Italian crime syndicate of New York. I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us. I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.
I won’t allow my eighteen-year-old niece to be sold into slavery the same way I was.
But if she is, I’ll remedy the situation.
There’s a damn good reason people call me the Black Widow.
Spider
I’m supposed to marry Lili. Sweet, naive Lili, who’ll make a fine wife. A wife who won’t distract me, which is exactly what I want.
So why can’t I stop thinking about her swamp witch of an aunt?
Reyna who hates me. Reyna who challenges me. Reyna with the guts of a Viking, the body of a fertility goddess, and the attitude of a feral cat.
The sooner this wedding is over and I can move back to Boston with my new wife, the better. Because nothing good can come of what I’m feeling for a woman who’s not the one in the wedding contract I signed.
A woman who killed her own husband in cold blood.
A woman I want so much, I think I just might be reckless enough to start a Mafia war over.
