Vows So Savage

My family gave me a diamond ring, a white silk dress, and a suicide mission.

To save my captive brother's life, I have to marry the most ruthless enforcer in the rival syndicate. My orders are simple: walk down the aisle, enter his fortified lakeside estate, and steal the hidden ledger that will destroy his empire. If I fail, my brother dies. If my new husband catches me searching his house, he will pull the trigger himself.

The problem is that the man I was sent to ruin is no fool. Behind thirty inches of poured concrete and biometric locks, he watches every move I make. Every dinner is a psychological chess match. Every touch feels like a trap closing around my throat. The winter storm has cut off all escape routes, the clock is running out, and the hardest part of my mission is no longer cracking his vault. It is keeping myself from falling for the monster holding the key.

• Anarranged marriage between bitter underworld rivals

• A bride working undercover as a spy in her husband's house

• Forced proximity inside a locked-down lakeside fortress

• A ruthless, morally grey hero and a defiant heroine matching wits
