Crime Thriller/ Billionaire / Power/ Gothic Romance

Captive. Dangerous. Obsessive.

She was meant to be a bargaining chip. Instead, she became his greatest weakness.

High-society heiress Mia Thorne has always known that her family’s wealth comes with a price. She never expected to be the one paying it.

Stolen from her world of power and privilege, Mia is locked inside a gilded cage by Lorenzo Morra, the ruthless mafia boss her family fears most. He intends to use her to settle an old blood debt and destroy everything she represents.

But Mia is not fragile, and she refuses to break. She fights her captor, Kai, at every turn, even as a dangerous attraction begins to grow between them. Inside the mansion, every locked door hides another secret, and every threat brings them closer to a war neither of them can escape.

Kai expected Mia to fear him. He never expected her to challenge him, unsettle him, or become the one person he would risk everything to protect.

As blood debts mount and enemies close in, Mia must decide whether Kai is her greatest threat or the only man standing between her and death. Because in a world built on blood, betrayal, secret societies, and dark bargains, the only thing more dangerous than a captive with nothing left to lose is a man willing to burn everything to keep her.

House of Crimson Vows is a dark mafia romance thriller and an interconnected standalone in the Vows and Secrets Series, set a few years after the events of 13 Days in My New House.
