She brought her own knife. He stopped counting the exits. Yuri Drakov was raised to be useful, then dangerous, then disposable. When the family that almost crowned him decides instead to sell him into a peace nobody asked for, the answer is the cruelest: marry him off to Sofia Reyes, the only daughter of the cartel they have just stopped killing. Sofia knows what she is - a deposit, a hostage, a signed line on a contract her father drafted before she was old enough to read it. She does not arrive at the Drakov gate expecting kindness. She arrives expecting to be counted, the way everything else in this house is counted, and to make sure she is the one holding the pencil. What begins as a careful marriage between two people who refuse to be pawns turns into something neither of them was taught to want: a slow, dangerous negotiation over information, safety, and the rare right to choose. He learns that the woman they sent him to manage cannot be managed. She learns that the man they sent her to neutralize knows where every exit in the house is - and is willing, for her, to stop counting them. Drakov's Vow is Book Two of the Drakov Bratva series: a medium-heat enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with a morally grey hero who is not redeemed by being innocent, a cartel-princess heroine who arrives with her own knife, cross-faction politics, dual POV, no cheating, and an emotionally complete ending. Content note: organized-crime context, arranged marriage under political pressure, threats and on-page violence, cartel and bratva family politics, references to past physical abuse experienced by the heroine in childhood, and consensual adult sexual content (medium heat). This book does not contain non-consensual or dubiously consensual sex.
