In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart. I’m a Maverick and in our world, family legacy is everything. In order to keep your position, you must succumb to the inevitability of your circumstances. The Dark Trinity organization will choose your career, your house and your partner. Going against them will put the people you love in the crosshairs of your enemies. Rivals determined to take what’s yours. My bride is a fiery beauty with a spirit as untamed as the night. Our marriage was decided for us. An unwanted merger to further our dynasty. There’s only one major problem. We don't get along. Yet, as our forced union ignites with an intoxicating passion, I find myself trying to navigate treacherous waters where disloyalty lurks at every turn. She could be the queen of my empire, there to strengthen my resolve. Or she could just as easily be the siren of my seas, ruining my carefully laid plans before I have a chance to execute them. This book can be read as a standalone, however, Crowned Maddens (The Dark Trinity) is the prelude that leads to Ruined Vows (Maverick Dynasty).
