The Devil's Vow
The red wax seal pressed into Eleanor Ashworth's dreams the night before Sebastian Voss arrived to claim what her family owed him. Wrenched from nightmares of her brother's ruined face, Eleanor wakes to find a predator in her drawing room, a man whose tailored elegance hides the ruthlessness of a true devil. Sebastian does not want her money. He already owns her family's crumbling empire. What he demands is Eleanor herself, bound by a vow more binding than any contract, sealed in crimson wax and old sins. As she is drawn deeper into Sebastian's shadowed world, Eleanor uncovers a web of betrayal stretching from a powerful senator to the mysterious woman called Sable, whose loyalty is never certain. Her sister Lily is leveraged as collateral. Her brother Marcus, lost in a past Eleanor cannot fully remember, becomes the key to a secret worth killing for. Even allies like Julian Crane and Margot Quinn blur the line between salvation and danger. Torn between resistance and ruin, Eleanor must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her pride, her freedom, or the soul she has sworn never to surrender. Because in Sebastian Voss's world, every vow extracts a price, and the devil always collects.
