Arranged marriage. Mafia & cartel romance. Dangerous protector I've spent my life standing in my brother's shadow. Second son. Second in command. Second choice. As consigliere to the Luciano Famiglia, I'm respected for the things most men fear—my skill with a knife, my ruthless interrogations, and my unwavering loyalty. I don't expect happiness. Men like me aren't made for it. Then I meet Camila Ruiz. The youngest daughter of one of the Roríguez Cartel's most powerful lieutenants is everything I'm not—kind, beautiful, and untouched by the darkness that defines my life. I should stay away. Instead, I ask for the impossible. With the fragile alliance between the Kansas City Mafia and the Roríguez Cartel finally secured, I request Camila's hand in marriage and swear my life to protecting her. For the first time, I don't want power. I want her. But peace between two criminal empires is never guaranteed. As enemies close in and loyalties are tested, I'm forced to choose between the vow I made to my famiglia and the promise I made to my wife. Breaking either one could cost me everything. From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes BOUND BY A PROMISE, an interconnected stand-alone in the Brutal Vows series featuring an arranged marriage, a protective antihero, dangerous family loyalties, explosive chemistry, and a love worth killing for.
