Crimson Vows

She was handed to him to settle a debt. She's about to uncover the truth that started a war. Isabella Cattaneo has spent her whole life staying out of her father's business. Then he tells her the price of peace with their family's oldest rival: her hand in marriage to Nikolai Dragan, the cold, controlled heir to an empire built on the blood feud that killed his sister. Nikolai doesn't want a wife. He wants proximity to the family he blames for putting a bullet in his sister four years ago, and a marriage of convenience is the closest he'll ever get to justice. What he doesn't expect is a woman sharp enough to find the one piece of evidence his entire organization missed, or the way she keeps finding the cracks in a wall he built to survive. What Isabella uncovers in a fireproof box under her father's floorboards will unravel everything both families believe about the night Yana Dragan died, and put a target on Isabella's back that no marriage certificate can protect her from. Some vows start as a transaction. Some debts can only be paid in blood. And some enemies were never really enemies at all, until a man neither family saw coming made sure of it. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with a forced marriage, a shared enemy, and a happily ever after worth fighting for.
