She’s not my wife. Yet. But she will be. And the heir growing in her belly will be my little king. Fourteen years ago, Ava D’Amato kissed me like I was her future—Then vanished into the dead of the night. I searched for her. She haunted me. But when I stopped hoping, I started building—An empire carved from Chicago’s shadows. Then her ghost walked into my club with red stilettos and a fake name—Working for my enemy. Looking at me like I’m a stranger. She doesn’t think I recognize her. And she sure as hell doesn’t realize what I’ll do to keep her this time. I drag her into my penthouse. Into my bed. Into a marriage she never agreed to. She thinks she’s playing me. Thinks I’m just another “job.” But Ava’s about to learn—I’m the king of this city. And she’s mine. When I find out the truth—why she came back, who sent her… I’ll make them regret it. And when I learn she’s pregnant? I’ll bury every lie she told—right beside my enemy. Tormented Oath is the story of an obsessed mafia king blindsided by betrayal. It’s a standalone romance with no cheating or cliffhangers. But it does have a fiery second chance at love, forced marriage, and a surprise pregnancy. Don’t be scared. It’s morally gray and twisty here, but there’s always a happy ending.
