It was an innocent mistake. She knocked on the wrong door. Mine. If I were a better man, I would've just let her go. But I'm not. I'm a cruel bastard. I ruthlessly claimed her virtue for my own. It should have been enough. But it wasn't. I needed more. Craved it. She became my obsession. Her sweetness and purity taunted my dark soul. The need to possess her nearly drove me mad. A Russian arms dealer had no business pursuing a naive librarian student. She didn't belong in my world. I would bring her only pain. But it was too late… She was mine and I was keeping her.

She’s finally mine… and I’m never letting her go. The Ivanov brothers ruthlessly control their billionaire mafia empire. And they will stop at nothing in their pursuit of the women they want. These innocent heroines will soon learn that, despite their objections, they are under the complete control of these dangerous men… till death do them part. Vicious Vows Ivanov Crime Family Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Box Set includes Savage Vow, Vicious Oath and Betrayed Honor. These dark enemies-to-lovers romances are filled with passion, obsession, revenge, secrets, and drama.

We were not meant to be together… then a dark twist of fate stepped in, and we're the ones who will pay for it. As the eldest son and heir of the Cavalieri name, I inherit a great deal more than a billion dollar empire. I receive a legacy of secrets, lies, and scandal. After enduring a childhood filled with malicious rumors about my father, I have fallen prey to his very same sin. I married a woman I didn't love out of a false sense of family honor. Now she has died under mysterious circumstances. And I am left to play the widowed groom. For no one can know the truth about my wife… Especially her sister. The only way to protect her from danger is to keep her close, and yet, her very nearness tortures me. She is my sister in name only, but I have no right to desire her. Not after what I have done. It's too much to hope she would understand that it was all for her. It's always been about her. Only her. I am, after all, my father's son. And there is nothing on this earth more ruthless than a Cavalieri man in love. If you love the dark and twisted romantic suspense of Natasha Knight, A. Zavarelli, Charmaine Pauls, and Anna Zaires you will love this series! Secrets of the Brother continues the steamy, enemies to lovers drama of the Cavalieri men with Enzo and Bianca's story, and follows more of the tempestuous love affairs of Barone and Amara and Cesare and Milana.

Her innocence was going to get her killed. That was if I didn't get to her first. She's the protected little sister of the powerful Ivanov Russian mafia family - the very definition of forbidden. It’s always been my job, as their Head of Security, to watch over her but never to touch. That ends today. She disobeyed me and put herself in danger. It was time to take her in hand. I’m the only one who can save her and I will fight anyone who tries to stop me, including her brothers. Honor and loyalty be damned. She’s mine now.

When I give an order, I expect it to be obeyed. She’s too smart for her own good, and it’s going to get her killed. Against my better judgement, I put her under the protection of my powerful Russian mafia family. So imagine my anger when the little minx ran. For three long years I’ve been on her trail, always one step behind. Finding and claiming her had become an obsession. It was getting harder to rein in my driving need to possess her… to own her. But now the chase was over. I’ve found her. Soon she will be mine. And I plan to make it official, even if I have to drag her kicking and screaming to the altar. This time… there will be no escape from me.

I took her innocence as payment. She was far too young and naïve to be betrothed to a monster like me. I would bring only pain and darkness into her sheltered world. That’s why she ran. I should’ve just let her go… She never asked to marry into a powerful Russian mafia family. None of this was her choice. Unfortunately for her, I don’t care. I own her… and after three years of searching… I’ve found her. My runaway bride was about to learn disobedience has consequences… punishing ones. Having her in my arms and under my control had become an obsession. Nothing was going to keep me from claiming her before the eyes of God and man. She’s finally mine now… and I’m never letting her go. Special Preorder price of $.99c only available for a limited time.

Being attracted to her wasn't wrong… but acting on it would be. As the patriarch of the powerful and wealthy Cavalieri family, my choices came with consequences for everyone around me. The roots of my ancestral, billionaire-dollar winery stretch deep into the rich, Italian soil, as does our legacy for ruthlessness and scandal. It wasn't the fact she was half my age that made her off limits. Nothing was off limits for me. A wounded bird, caught in a trap not of her own making, she posed no risk to me. My obsessive desire to possess her was the real problem. For both of us. But now that I've seen her, tasted her lips, I can't let her go. Whether she likes it or not, she needs my protection. I'm doing this for her own good, yet, she fights me at every turn. Refusing the luxury I offer, desperately trying to escape my grasp. I need to teach her to obey before the dark rumors of my past reach her. Ruin her. She cannot find out what I've done, not before I make her mine. If you love the dark and twisted romantic suspense of Natasha Knight, A. Zavarelli, Charmaine Pauls, and Anna Zaires you will love this series! Lose yourself in the steamy, enemies to lovers drama of the Cavalieri men.
