Twisted Devotion
Vivie Sinclair was born into a life of luxury, never wanting for anything—until her brother’s addiction to gambling destroyed everything. At first, he won more than he lost, keeping their family’s fortune intact. But when his luck ran out, so did their wealth. Desperate to repay his debts, he made a reckless decision: selling his own sister into marriage with the ruthless Mafia boss, Ashton Varela. Ashton is a man feared by many. Cold, calculated, and merciless, he built his empire with blood and steel. Love is a foreign concept to him, emotions nothing more than a weakness. He didn’t need a wife, least of all an unwilling one, but a deal was a deal. Vivie belonged to him now. But Vivie is not the fragile, spoiled girl he expected. She carries scars deeper than anyone realizes, haunted by a past filled with betrayal and pain. Nightmares consume her, remnants of the trauma she barely survived. Ashton doesn’t do kindness, but something about her awakens a rare protectiveness in him—one he refuses to acknowledge. In the daylight, they are locked in a battle of wills. At night, he devours her like the beast he is, demanding her submission, her surrender. She hates him for taking her freedom, but her body betrays her, responding to his cruel touch. The lines between hate and desire blur, and soon, she’s caught in a web she can’t escape. But Vivie isn't the only one with ghosts. As threats emerge from the shadows, secrets unravel, and Vivie begins to see the cracks in Ashton’s icy facade. Beneath the ruthless exterior is a man just as broken as she is. In a world of violence and betrayal, where love is a weakness that could get them both killed, can Vivie and Ashton survive each other?
