The Sicilian’s Stolen Vows
Serena Lombardo’s life shatters when her brother’s reckless gambling debt sells her to the most feared man in Sicily: **Vittorio “Il Re” Marchetti**, the merciless Don of the Marchetti Syndicate. To save her brother’s life, she agrees to a twisted contract—marriage to a man whose scarred face and glacial stare haunt Palermo’s shadows. But Vittorio doesn’t want a wife; he wants a pawn.
Beneath the veneer of their shotgun wedding lies a secret as old as the bloodstained cobblestones of Sicily. Serena’s father, an executed mafia enforcer, hid a ledger exposing the syndicate’s darkest dealings—a ledger Vittorio will raze cities to possess. With her brother held captive and the clock ticking, Serena must navigate a labyrinth of lies, betrayal, and forbidden attraction.
Vittorio is no fairytale prince. He’s a storm of violence and contradictions: a man who carves loyalty into flesh but flinches at the scent of lilies, who drowns traitors in cement yet keeps a childhood toy soldier locked in his desk. As Serena uncovers fragments of his shattered past—a drowned brother, a treacherous mentor, a father’s cruelty—she begins to see the cracks in his armor.
But survival in the Marchetti Syndicate demands a price. Serena’s healing hands, trained to save lives, now stitch bullet wounds and brew poisons. Her quiet defiance draws Vittorio’s obsession, a dangerous game where every touch is a battle and every kiss tastes like vengeance. When the rival **Gallo Clan** targets her as leverage, Serena must decide: trust the devil she’s bound to, or become one herself.
