ALESSIA
Prison was meant to bury me, to silence the voices clawing at my sanity.
But when a mysterious woman stepped into my cell and demanded the unthinkable—kill her son—my world shattered into something far darker than steel bars.
Then I met Rafael. The man I was ordered to destroy became the man who held my freedom in his hands. He was ruthless, untouchable, with shadows clinging to him like a crown.
I should have feared him, but instead I found myself unraveling, craving, torn between the whispers of my conscience and the dangerous pull of the man I was meant to betray.
RAFAEL
I wasn’t supposed to notice her. She was nothing but a pawn my mother threw into my path, another broken thing I could use and discard. But the moment I saw her eyes, wild, desperate, burning with a pain I understood.
I knew Alessia was a different kind of weapon. She was chaos wrapped in fragile beauty, a madness that mirrored my own. I could have killed her. I should have. Instead, I kept her close, chained her to my world of blood and shadows.
Because in her fire, I saw the one thing I swore I would never need—hope.
This is the first book in the Dark Oath series. Reading order:
Book One: Crave the Dark
Book Two: Fear the Dark
Book Three: Own the Dark
She was born in chains. He was born in blood.
When Alessia is dragged into the violent empire of Rafael Falcone, she expects death. Instead, she finds something far more dangerous: desire. Their connection is raw, forbidden, and addictive—two broken souls colliding in a world built on betrayal.
But love in the mafia is never gentle. It’s obsession. It’s war. It’s survival.
And once you’re bound to the Falcone, there’s no way out, only deeper into the darkness.
