Bred by Crimson Vows Legacy of Vows – Book One by Cora J Riley I was raised to be obedient. Trained to be traded. Prepared to belong to a man old enough to be my father. I thought that was my fate—until Matteo Bellandi started a war for me. He didn’t rescue me. He didn’t soften his cruelty. He took me to break my father, humiliate my fiancé, and carve his claim into blood and consequence. I hated him for it. Until I realised his hands were the only ones that ever stopped shaking me. Until his control became shelter. Until the vows meant to destroy me became the reason I could never go back. I was never meant to leave his world untouched. Now I carry proof that some bonds are permanent—and some vows are written in blood. Bred by Crimson Vows is a dark mafia romance featuring forced proximity, obsession, power imbalance, pregnancy, and a ruthless hero who keeps what he takes. This book contains morally gray characters, explicit themes, and is intended for mature readers only.
