Promised to Ruin

Summary

From USA Today bestselling author of Merciless comes a heart-wrenching, gripping, edge-of-your-seat, romantic suspense.

Power is inherited. Loyalty is earned. Love is the most dangerous gamble of all.

Raised in one of the most feared crime families in the country, Cameron Cross has spent his life proving he’s worthy of the family name. Ruthless, ambitious, and shaped by violence from childhood, he knows there’s only one path to power—and it demands everything.

Lilly has spent her entire life hidden in the shadows. As the secret daughter of a notorious crime boss, she’s been protected from the brutal world that made her father a legend. But one reckless decision exposes her identity, leaving her with nowhere to turn except another powerful mafia family.

When their worlds collide, an uneasy alliance quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Surrounded by betrayal, bloodshed, and shifting loyalties, Cameron and Lilly are drawn together by the darkness they both understand—and the futures neither of them can escape.

In a world where trust is a weapon and every choice carries a price, they’ll have to decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for power, family … and each other.
