Ciro’s Promise · A Bad Boy Mob Romance (Santora Mafia) (The Outlaw’s Oath Collection Book 1)

I promised I’d ruin her for all other men.

**She’s suffered enough at the hands of an abusive monster.

But I showed her how to find pleasure in pain, in submission – to me.

Afterwards, I tried to erase her from my mind and be the cold-hearted don my father wants me to be.

But part of me always knew: one night with Sofia would never be enough.

*SOFIA* **

Everyone makes mistakes, of course.

But not everyone makes mistakes as stupid as sleeping with Ciro Santora.

You gotta be a special kind of crazy to have a one-night stand with a mob underboss…

While still married to the crooked cop on his payroll.

They say there’s no silver linings in a deal with the devil.

But I did get my four-year-old son Christopher out of that sweaty, sinful night.

And he's the best thing in my life.

But time is ticking and it's just a matter of time before my psychotic ex figures out who the real father is.

And when he does… there'll be hell to pay.

I need safety, fast.

And there’s only one place to run:

Into the arms of the mafia monster who brought this chaos into my life in the first place.

But the problem is, Ciro's protection comes with a high price.

And I don't know if I'm ready to be the mobster’s bride.

***CIRO* **

Danger. Money. Power.

They all have their reasons for sleeping with me.

And I don't discriminate.

Sofia was different, though.

I had no right to her – but since when did that ever stop me?

But, if I could do things over again I would have stayed away.

Left her to raise Christopher alone.

No kid deserves this life.

Trust me; I know.

But I can’t go back.

My sins are etched in stone.

And now, my best friend is dead and his blood is on my hands.

Brokering a deal with the Vincenzo family isn't going to cut it.

Someone needs to pay for his death.

It's time for me to become what I was always meant to be:

A ruthless don with no mercy in his heart.
