As a newly declared lieutenant in the Roríguez cartel, I’m told I need a wife. The cartel allegiance with the Luciano family has mandated multiple matrimonial mergers. However, I’m not looking for a wife in the true sense of the word. Liliana Ruiz has been in my life for years. I’d never before looked at her as a woman to pursue. When I first met her, she was damaged and timid.

Time allowed Liliana to grow into not only a beautiful woman, but an independent soul. She doesn’t want to marry, yet the time will come when it isn’t her choice. Maybe I can convince her to a mutually agreeable solution: marriage in name only.

Everything changes when danger threatens the Roríguez cartel.

Spend the holidays with the familiar characters from the Luciano famiglia and Roríguez cartel in this Brutal Vows novella—complete story with HEA.

Great Novella

I just love it when a novella is done right and Miss Romig did it right. Even though it’s short, it is packed with Miss Romig’s signature style. Liliana and Nick’s story is fast paced and works well since they have a tiny bit of history established. I loved the little visits from the Brutal Vows crew.
