Vow of the Wolf: The Blood Accord, Book One

VOW OF THE WOLFThe Blood Accord, Book OneShe wrote the treaty that ended the war. She never planned on becoming its first casualty.Aurelia Conti has spent twenty-two months watching her father set a dead man's place at the table and calling it grief instead of what it actually is: a house with no heir and a war it cannot survive on two fronts. So she builds herself a seat at the table the only way her father's world will allow a woman one — with a signature nobody can trace back to her, on a treaty that will end the bloodshed before it ends her family.Kirill Nazarov inherits a war he did not start and a bride he did not ask for, handed to him the same way his family has always done business: quietly, and with no room to say no.

He knows exactly what a Conti wants from a Nazarov. He does not know that the woman across the aisle at his own wedding wrote the rules he is now bound by — or that keeping his enemies close was never the dangerous part.

Believing her was.The Accord holds, on paper. Two houses stop shooting at each other and start filing paperwork instead — which is either the most civilized thing that has ever happened between the Contis and the Nazarovs, or the most dangerous.

What starts as a marriage neither of them chose becomes something neither of them budgeted for, until a payment surfaces in a dead man's archive and the peace they built starts looking less clean than either of them signed on for.An arranged-marriage, enemies-to-allies slow burn between an heiress with more nerve than protection and the man her family taught her to fear — the first book in a continuing series, complete with its own satisfying ending.This book is open-door and unapologetically spicy, alongside strong language and on-page violence tied to organized crime. Intended for readers 18+.
