His to Protect: Vows of Vengeance: Book 1 (Vows of Vengeance: A Mafia Romance Series)

A gala event. A sudden betrayal.
And a dangerous ally waiting in the shadows.

Elizabeth Davenport has spent years fighting for her confidence, worn down by a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, Marcus. But the true breaking point arrives in the glittering ballroom of the Romano estate. Slipping away from the crowds, Elizabeth accidentally uncovers a devastating truth: Marcus doesn’t love her. He is solely after her massive family inheritance, and he is actively conspiring with another woman to strip her of everything. Unbeknownst to them, Julian Romano- a man of immense influence and dark mafia ties-is watching. Present for the betrayal and recognizing Elizabeth’s sudden, profound distress, Julian steps out of the shadows to intervene. Refusing to let a traitor operate under his roof, Julian immediately places Elizabeth under his personal protection, keeping her hidden deep within the heavily fortified walls of his sprawling estate. As Julian maps out a lethal strategy to neutralize Marcus and his mistress, Elizabeth finds herself in a high-stakes world of danger and power. But she refuses to be a mere pawn when she is a queen. Surrounded by threats, Elizabeth begins to unearth her own fierce resilience, proving to Julian that she isn’t a victim to be protected-she is a powerful partner ready to fight for her legacy.
