In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart. POPE MAVERICK She was never supposed to be mine. I’m a Maverick and in our world, family isn’t just blood, It’s power. Legacy means everything and to keep your place in this empire, you don’t get choices. The Dark Trinity organization decides it all...your future, your alliances, even the person you’re bound to for life. My bride was chosen for me as a strategic move and a merger to further the dynasty. Too bad Honey Crowne hates every second of it. She’s fire wrapped in silk, beautifully stubborn and witty, but she fights me at every turn. Her heart already belongs to another, but that doesn’t change what’s expected of us. I need an heir and she has no choice. But neither do I. Every moment with her is a battle of wills testing her defiance and my control. And somewhere between our marital war and the quiet moments where her guard slips, I realize she could be more than just a pawn. She could be the queen beside me, there to strengthen my resolve. Or the siren of my seas, leading to my impending doom. Everything is a risk. And in this game of power and loyalty, I can’t afford to lose. Not her. Not the empire. And definitely not my heart. This story can be read as a standalone, however, Crowned Maddens (The Dark Trinity) is the prelude that leads to Ruined Vows (Maverick Dynasty).
ROME MAVERICK She was never supposed to be my problem. Storm Crowne is reckless, younger than me, and way too tempting for her own good. Plus, she thrives off of drama, talks entirely too much, and always makes questionable choices that piss me off. An enemy wants her dead and now she needs a bodyguard. Since my twin brother married her sister, her family decided it was my job to protect her. I’m the brother who keeps the peace and the one who carries the weight so no one else has to. I don’t cross lines. I don’t lose control. But Storm? She’s a hurricane of chaos that I can’t outrun. She pushes and I pull. She defies and I demand. She protests and I insist. She doesn’t get that this isn’t a game. I’m here to keep her alive. If that means breaking her down and stripping away every ounce of fight she has until she listens to me, so be it. Because in my world, obedience isn’t optional. And Storm will learn that she can either bend, or she can break. But she will obey. In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart.
S TORI MAVERICK She was never supposed to be my addiction. Her cry for help is music to my ears. She barely knew I existed before she requested my assistance. Now, she’s desperate and realizes too late that the wolves circling her require a Maverick to deter them. She requires me .
