Vow of Thorns
He bought her at auction.
But possession was never the point.
Isla Voss has spent her life paying for the sins of her father.
Brilliant. Controlled. Unbreakable.
After years of trying to repair a debt she did not create, she is taken to an underground auction in Palermo and sold to the highest bidder.
Her buyer is Dante Blackthorn.
Cold. Powerful. Ruthlessly intelligent.
A man whose name is spoken with fear throughout Sicily.
Isla expects captivity.
What she does not expect is a proposition.
Dante wants her mind.
Her talent for uncovering hidden money.
Her ability to detect the one betrayal that has been poisoning his empire from within.
Bound by a contract neither of them fully trusts, Isla and Dante are drawn into a dangerous alliance where every secret uncovered brings them closer to the truth—and closer to each other.
But Dante is still the man who bought her.
And in Sicily, love is never safer than war.
