The marriage was never about love. It was about power.

Quinn Delaney becomes a bride only after another woman walks away, and two syndicates need the problem fixed. She is quiet, obedient, and replaceable. Exactly what the marriage requires.

Lorenzo Mariano is the most dangerous man in the room, and he never pretends otherwise. He gives Quinn his name, his protection, and his rules. He keeps his distance. He keeps his silence. He expects her to survive it.

She tries. But being ignored hurts more than being hated.

As rumors spread and a woman from Lorenzo’s past refuses to let Quinn forget her place, the marriage turns into something she cannot endure. When Quinn finally leaves, Lorenzo realizes too late that the one thing he thought he could control is the only thing he cannot afford to lose.

He never promised to love her.
He promised not to care.

Breaking that vow may cost him everything.
Keeping it will cost him her.

Release & Review for Forbidden Vow by Lilith Vincent



Title: Forbidden Vow
A Forbidden Mafia Romance
Series: Ruthless Arrangements #2
Author: Lilith Vincent
Genre: Dark Romance
Tropes: Forbidden, Mafia,
Adopted Brother/Sister
Release Date: May 6, 2026

BLURB

Lucy is the only woman I love. The only heart I cherish. But she can never be mine.

Life is danger, and life is pain. I learned that lesson at twelve years of age when my father and sister perished in flames. Lucy and I were the only survivors, she an abandoned little girl with pain in her eyes, tears on her cheeks, and steel in her heart.

I couldn’t lose her, so I lied about who we were, without knowing the terrible price we’d pay. Lucy and I became Barones, children of one of the wealthiest and most sinister families in Malus. I love Lucy more than anyone in the world, but I led her unwittingly into danger.

Our new family treads a dark and violent path, strewn with bullets and blood. Our true identity is a deadly secret. To protect my beautiful Lucy, I must walk the same path as our parents. To save her from a violent fate, I must arrange her marriage to someone else.

But seeing Lucy with another man’s ring on her finger unlocks feral instincts inside me. My desire for her is going to tear our lives apart, because I’m about to do something dangerous, reckless, and utterly forbidden.

I’m going to make Lucy mine.

Author’s Note: Forbidden Vow is a forbidden MF romance with dark themes, a jealous, overprotective and obsessed hero, and a sweet and clever virgin heroine. This is the second book in the Ruthless Arrangements series and can be read as a standalone. The story is dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.



This was a captivating read. Damiano and Lucy have known each other since childhood, both having experienced tragic losses and ending up in foster care before being adopted by the same family. Unbeknownst to them, they were brought into a mafia family, surrounded by secrets and danger at every turn.

The characters in this story evoke mixed emotions, as we despise their new family and its members. The side characters are intriguing and treacherous, with varying levels of cunning and betrayal. Lucy, in particular, surprises us with her deceptive innocence, revealing her true cleverness.

Damiano and Lucy share a covert and forbidden love, with Damiano displaying a protective and possessive nature towards Lucy that goes beyond sibling affection. They harbor dangerous secrets that could prove fatal if exposed.

The plot is rife with twists, suspense, forbidden love, revenge, and hidden truths. While we anticipated Damiano and Lucy acting on their feelings, their recklessness without a contingency plan for the revelation of their secrets was unexpected. 

The conclusion of their story is both satisfying and surprising, hinting at a continuation of their journey.
