Before the engagement.

Before the empire.

There was a promise.

In the Orsini family, a promise isn't romantic. It's a contract, sealed with a ring, and nobody walks away from it.

Promised is the free prequel to Blood and Empire, my mafia romance series set between New York and the south of Italy. It isn't finished yet. Join my reader letter and it lands in your inbox the day it is, before it goes anywhere else.

Until then, one letter a month: early pages from Kept, first looks at the series, and the scenes I fought with.
