The Widow He Claimed: A Dark Mafia Romance

Vivienne buried her husband today. By tonight, she'll have a new one.

Three days a widow, and already the vultures are circling — creditors, rival Houses, men who think a woman alone is a woman for the taking. She's spent six years quietly bleeding her husband's empire dry from the inside, funding an escape route for the women his family once sold. No one was supposed to notice. Roman noticed.

He was raised to inherit an empire built on obedience, not mercy — and the terms he offers her aren't a rescue. They're a contract, with vows that read more like a leash: marry him, or lose everything she's spent years building in secret. Vivienne has never let a man own her. She isn't about to start with the one who could undo her with a single phone call.

But living inside Maison Sayegh means learning to survive her new husband as closely as she survives everyone hunting her — and the longer she watches him refuse to be the monster his name promises, the harder it gets to remember which parts of her arrangement with him are still pretend.

Some vows are written to trap you. Vivienne is about to find out which kind hers really are.

The Widow He Claimed is Book One of the Sayegh Duology — a dual-POV dark mafia romance that ends on a cliffhanger. The story continues immediately in The Empire We Burn, available now on Google Play.
