Vows of Contempt is a dark mafia romance about betrayal, obsession, and the dangerous consequences of a marriage forged by power instead of love.
Lorenzo is the ruthless consigliere of a powerful Italian mafia order-feared, respected, and bound by loyalty to the code above all else. For years, his future was clear: he would marry Ambra, the woman who captured his attention from the very first glance. But in the mafia, desire means nothing when weighed against strategy.
To secure an unbreakable alliance, Lorenzo is forced into marriage with Carmine-the eldest daughter, the overlooked sister, the woman he never wanted.
Carmine has loved Lorenzo in silence for years. To her, the marriage is a miracle she never believed possible. But her fragile happiness shatters when she discovers the truth: her husband’s heart was never meant to be hers. Every careless word, every cold glance, every reminder that she was chosen only out of obligation turns love into something far more dangerous.
Hatred.
As resentment replaces devotion, Carmine refuses to remain the obedient mafia wife. She becomes calculated, unyielding, and determined to make Lorenzo feel the same humiliation and pain he inflicted on her. What begins as a loveless arrangement transforms into a vicious game of power, pride, and emotional warfare-where contempt is the sharpest weapon of all.
In a world ruled by blood oaths and broken promises, Vows of Contempt delivers a gripping enemies-to-lovers mafia romance filled with forced marriage, slow-burn tension, emotional devastation, and a heroine who refuses to stay broken.
