Vows Beneath Black Glass

When cathedral restorer Elara Vale is dragged from her quiet life and married to Lucien Marrow, the feared heir of a criminal dynasty, she expects a gilded cage and a monster for a husband. Lucien is cold, beautiful, and dangerous, with blood on his cuffs and secrets locked behind every black-glass window of his cliffside estate. Their marriage is a treaty meant to end a war between families—but Elara soon realizes she is not the pawn everyone thinks she is.

Beneath Marrow House lies a hidden chapel filled with names of women who vanished, including Elara’s mother. As desire turns into obsession and enemies close in, Elara discovers Lucien’s cruelty may be a mask, his loyalty may be fatal, and her own bloodline may be the darkest inheritance of all. To survive, she must decide whether to destroy her husband’s empire—or rule it beside him.
