Vows Of Deception: A Dark Captor Bodyguard Romance

He broke my heart eight years ago. Now he’s kidnapped me to save my life.

Cora Castor rebuilt her world from the ashes of her family’s destruction. Far away from the secret society known as the Consortium, she swore she would never again trust a man with power. Especially not Dante Vance—the former street bodyguard who swore to protect her, only to vanish into the shadows the night her family fell.

Now, Dante is back. But he isn’t a bodyguard anymore.

He is The Wraith—a self-made security billionaire and the Consortium's most feared fixer.

When the surviving Lords of the Consortium order Cora’s capture to use her as leverage against her brother Rhys, Dante takes the contract himself. He abducts her from her studio and locks her inside his fortified island estate.

To the Consortium, she is his hostage.

To Cora, he is a cold-blooded traitor who sold his soul for billions.

What she doesn't know is that Dante has been harboring a deadly secret for eight years: every drop of blood on his hands was shed to keep her alive. And his cage isn't a prison—it's the only fortress standing between her and execution.

As assassins close in and the forbidden fire between them reignites in the dark, Cora must decide if she can trust the man who broke her heart... or if falling for her captor is the deadliest mistake of all.
