Book excerpt: Dangerous Vows is a gripping mafia romance that blends passion, power, and betrayal. Dominic, the ruthless head of the New York mafia, is a man who thrives on control. Cold, calculating, and dangerously seductive, he's willing to do whatever it takes to protect his empire. When his fiancée, a mafia princess, dies in a suspicious accident, Dominic is forced to marry her younger sister to maintain his grip on the Cosa Nostra. Deanna was never meant to live in the mafia's shadow. Raised far from its deadly influence in Brazil, she's fierce, independent, and refuses to be controlled by anyone—especially not a man like Dominic. But with her sick mother's life on the line, Deanna has no choice but to enter into a marriage of convenience with the man she despises. As their worlds collide, hatred turns into a dangerous game of temptation and desire. Deanna fights to keep her heart guarded, while Dominic is determined to break her down and claim her for his own.
