About Now and Forever: Brutal Vows, Book 1 (Unabridged)

Arranged marriage. Age-gap romance. Kansas City Mafia × Roríguez Cartel. Peace has a price. Mine is marriage. As heir to the Luciano Famiglia, I was raised to become Capo. Loyalty was beaten into me. Mercy was not. My father made sure I understood that power belongs to the ruthless. Now our enemies are growing stronger, and I've proposed the unthinkable—an alliance with the Roríguez Cartel. The treaty requires blood. Or, in this case, vows. To unite two criminal empires, I'm ordered to marry Catalina Ruiz, the beautiful eldest daughter of one of the cartel's most powerful lieutenants. She believes she knows the sacrifice she's making. She has no idea who she's marrying. I became a made man at thirteen. Violence shaped me long before I became a leader. Love has never been part of my world, and I have no intention of letting it become my weakness. This marriage isn't about romance. It's about power. It's about survival. It's about creating an alliance strong enough to stop a war. But when duty begins to blur with desire, the vows meant to unite two families may become the very thing that tears them apart. From New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes NOW AND FOREVER, the first interconnected stand-alone in the Brutal Vows series—a dark mafia romance featuring an arranged marriage, an age-gap romance, dangerous family loyalties, explosive chemistry, and the brutal cost of choosing love over power.
