Forced Vows by May Gordon

Griffin Dark worked his way up from the gutters and gained a deadly reputation before becoming the Crime King of New York. He reluctantly agrees an arranged marriage is the key to ending the war brewing around him, but believes his life doesn’t have to change as he and his bride will be connected in name only. However, after one look at his soon-to-be-wife he knows that will never be enough.
Harlow Petrov was born and raised within the Russian Bratva, so she’s no stranger to the dangerous life nor the expectations that come with being who she is. When her ailing father plans her future without her consent, she vows to make the best of it, but Griffin is more than she could have ever bargained or prepared for.
As they work to unite their empires, they must face enemies that want to destroy it all. Will they succeed or will internal conflict break Griffin and Harlow apart first?
