Vows of Velvet and Venom

He didn’t want her father’s forty million dollars. He wanted her name on a marriage license.Architectural conservator Sienna Laurent has spent her whole life taught to hate one name above all others: Dante Moretti—the ruthless billionaire CEO of Moretti Global and the undisputed kingpin of Manhattan’s most feared syndicate. When a rigged maritime blockade leaves the Laurent shipping dynasty on the brink of ruin and her younger brother facing twenty years in federal prison, Dante steps out of the rain at the Pierre Hotel with an ultimatum: twelve months as his wife to unite their warring empires, or her family burns.Locked inside Dante’s eighty-floor glass penthouse above Manhattan, Sienna vows never to surrender to the cold-blooded devil who put a five-carat canary diamond on her finger. Yet as bullets shatter their wedding reception and Sienna uncovers a twenty-two-year-old conspiracy behind the Red Hook shipyard fire that killed Dante’s mother, the wall of hatred between them ignites into an all-consuming obsession. In a city of vipers, traitors, and blood debts, Dante Moretti will burn New York to the waterline before he lets anyone touch what belongs to him.
