Vows in the House of Ash

When heiress Seraphina Vale is dragged from exile to marry Dante Marrow, the feared king of Blackhaven’s criminal underworld, she expects a gilded cage and a husband made of cruelty. The marriage is meant to end a blood feud between their families, but Dante’s mansion is full of locked rooms, whispered warnings, and servants who flinch at her surname. Worse, Dante seems to know secrets about Seraphina’s past that even she doesn’t remember.

Dante never wanted a wife, especially not the daughter of the man who ruined him. Yet Seraphina is nothing like the spoiled Vale princess he imagined. She is sharp, defiant, and haunted by the same night that turned him into a monster. As desire becomes a battlefield and hatred begins to fracture, Seraphina discovers her marriage is not a truce at all—it is a trap built around her hidden identity.

Because someone in Blackhaven has been waiting thirteen years for the lost girl in the fire to come home, and Dante may be the only monster willing to burn the city to keep her alive.
