The Viper's Wife - Paperback

by Eve Ciric (Author)

He says I'm nothing to him, yet he treats me like I'm his everything.

Known for his cold cruelty in the ring, Nico 'Viper' Matassa is the beautiful, arrogant heir to an all-powerful Mafia dynasty. He represents everything I despise.

And he's just made me his prisoner.

For years, I've worked hard to save enough money to build an honest life for myself, far away from the corruptive influence of my criminal family-but my dreams are shattered when my dad double-crosses the mob, condemning my family's fate to the mercy of a ruthless don.

Until Nico steps forward and claims me as his bride.

If I want to survive, I must play the part of loving fiancée while Nico parades me around-a disgraced Mafia princess to spite his domineering father. But even with my inferior status, his family demands we produce an heir.

I refuse to raise an innocent child among these monsters, but it's getting harder to resist when Nico's every wicked touch and dark look sparks reluctant desire. The more I hate him, and the more I push him away, the more possessive he becomes.

And now, I'm terrified he'll never let me go.

The Viper's Wife is the third book of the Sacred Vows series but can be read as a standalone with a traditional HEA. It contains dark themes, morally grey characters, graphic violence, and explicit spice. Full triggers are listed on the author's website.
