A pledge to protect…
That will be tested at the altar!
After tragedy strikes, Daniela Avelar steps up as CEO to her brother’s global yacht empire. But to prevent corporate mutiny, she needs the help of his business partner, Valerio Marchesi.
Little does Daniela know that Valerio has already sworn to keep her safe. And when the tycoon discovers she’s in grave danger, he insists she become his bride! He’ll risk the unavoidable chemistry that sparks every time they lock eyes. Because this engagement of convenience is anything but… It’s a red-hot fire burning out of control!
A passionate story of lust and betrayal! With the first book in her Avelar Family Scandals duet, Amanda Cinelli is quick to enthrall her reader with a story of loss in THE VOWS HE MUST KEEP. The characters were multi-faceted as carriers of the drama for the loss they shared and in holding the reader’s attention as passion began to ignite between them like never before. I’m looking forward to more in the series.
Daniela was quick to draw my sympathy as we met with the news of her picking up the pieces after losing her brother and the added stress of a business takeover in the making if she can’t get his business partner back at the helm to calm the board.
Valerio is a complex character. He’s easy to understand, but difficult to read the depth of his guilt. He eventually tells Daniela why he felt the need to distance himself from the company and steps up to make things right with her.
I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a fast paced romance filled with equal amounts of romance and strife.
