His for the Keeping

2021

Letting me live was a mistake - one they won’t live long enough to regret. The last thing I expected when I flew home for my brother’s wedding was a massacre. Or to suddenly find myself as the head of a powerful, dangerous criminal organization. I sure as hell wasn’t expecting to walk down the aisle myself. Especially to a bride who isn’t too thrilled with the arrangement, either. But my little spitfire is about to learn the hard way that my word is law, and I have every intention of making sure she upholds her vow to obey me. Both our lives could depend on it. Author note: His For The Keeping was originally published in Dark Vows Anthology. It has been re-edited and additional material added to it.
