Vows Written in Ash

When heiress Seraphina Vale is dragged from her mother’s funeral into a forced engagement with Damien Blackthorne, the ruthless lord of London’s oldest criminal dynasty, she expects a monster in a tailored suit. Damien is cold, scarred, and merciless, a man who collects debts in blood and never touches anything he cannot own. Their marriage will unite two warring empires, end a decade of vendettas, and save Seraphina’s younger brother from execution—if she survives her wedding night.

But Damien did not choose Seraphina for peace. He chose her because she is the last living key to a secret buried beneath the city: a ledger that could destroy every noble family, crime syndicate, and corrupt magistrate in England. As Seraphina fights the husband who keeps her locked in silk and secrets, she discovers the cruelest truth of all—Damien has been protecting her since childhood, and the man she should hate may be the only one willing to burn the world for her.
