Ruined Vows

In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart.

POPE MAVERICK

She was never supposed to be mine. I'm a Maverick and in our world, family isn't just blood... It's power. Legacy means everything and to keep your place in this empire, you don't get choices. The Dark Trinity organization decides it all-your future, your alliances, even the person you're bound to for life.

My bride was chosen for me as a strategic move and a merger to further the dynasty. Too bad Honey Crowne hates every second of it. She's fire wrapped in silk, beautifully stubborn and witty, but she fights me at every turn. Her heart already belongs to another, but that doesn't change what's expected of us. I need an heir. And she has no choice.

But neither do I.

Every moment with her is a battle of wills testing her defiance and my control. And somewhere between our marital war and the quiet moments where her guard slips, I realize she could be more than just a pawn. She could be the queen beside me, there to strengthen my resolve. Or the siren of my seas, leading to my impending doom.

Everything is a risk. And in this game of power and loyalty, I can't afford to lose.

Not her.
Not the empire.
And definitely not my heart.

This book can be read as a standalone, however, Crowned Maddens (The Dark Trinity) is the prelude that leads to Ruined Vows (Maverick Dynasty).
