Ruthless Oath

He took me from my bar on a Tuesday night.

Theron Kallistos is the coldest man in New York. Greek mafia underboss. Quiet voice, dead-grey eyes, and a talent for ruining people without ever raising it. My father broke the truce, two of his men are dead, and now I'm the price.

Locked in his penthouse. Fed on his schedule. Informed, over dinner and in front of his men, that I'm worth less to my own family than a crate of cut stone.

So I threw a glass of wine in his face.

Here's the thing about hating a man like Theron: he's good at it. He's cruel when it counts, cold when it hurts, and he never apologises. But he also sits on the floor outside my door at night. He breaks his uncle's wrist for touching me. And when he looks at me, really looks, I forget why I'm supposed to be furious.

I'm Margot Delacroix. I swear too much, I bite when cornered, and I have never once been afraid of the man holding me hostage.

I should be.

Because my brother wants me dead, my dying father has been lying to everyone, and the truth buried in two families' history could destroy us both. Falling for the enemy is bad enough. Falling for him when he's the only man alive who can keep me safe?

That's a ruthless kind of oath.

RUTHLESS OATH is a standalone-ready, dark, steamy enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with a sassy heroine, an icy possessive hero, high heat, real jealousy on both sides, and a happily-ever-after. Book 1 of the Kallistos Dynasty. For fans of Cora Reilly and morally grey mafia men who fall hard.
