ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 21, 2023

The barely old enough to drink girl I’m forced to marry is an anime-loving, manga-reading, selective mute brat who wears too much eyeliner that highlights the anger in her eyes. Neither of us want this marriage but it will happen. I’ve worked too hard for too long not to do whatever it takes to run Vegas on behalf of the Outfit.

I’m not surprised when Carina runs. What I wasn’t ready for is how much I want to catch her. Not because I have to marry her, because I want to—want her. I want her for her. Panic attacks, eyeliner, curvy gorgeous body, and all. The problem comes with convincing her.

Carina may take some to believe me, believe in me. I’m not worried. We have all the time in the world because she belongs to me and I’m never letting her go.

***This features rough sexual scenes and a young woman using substance to self-medicate. And a ‘warning’ I never thought I would have to include is there is pregnancy in the book. If such things offend you please do not buy. This is a standalone that takes place in the Sabatini world. Milos and Celia from Beautiful Broken Obsession also appear as Carina is Celia’s sister. You need not have read any other book to enjoy this. If you want to, there are two books that leads directly into this is HIS: Luca and Beautiful Broken Obsession

REVIEW:HIS VICIOUS VOW is the first instalment in Fiona Murphy contemporary, adult, VICIOUS VEGAS erotic, Mafia romance story lines set in the author’s Sabatini world. This is thirty-eight year old, Alessandro ‘Sandro’ Leonetti , and twenty-two year old Carina Parker’s story line. HIS VICIOUS VOW can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sandro and Carina) HIS VICIOUS VOW follows the arranged marriage between thirty-eight year old, Alessandro ‘Sandro’ Leonetti , and twenty-two year old Carina Parker. Carina’s father is the don of the Chicago Mafia, and there is an opening in the Vegas territory. In an effort to secure his position, Sandro is ‘forced’ to marry don Toro’s youngest daughter Carina, a young woman with several emotional issues, and a need to disguise herself and her weight in a number of cosplay costumes but from the outset Sandro wants our story line heroine, a young woman who is struggling to find a place of her own. Forced into a marriage she does not want, Carina is determined to make things difficult for our story line hero until she finds herself falling for a man who could break her heart. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Sandro and Carina, and the potential fall-out Carina continues to struggle with demons from the past, demons that refuse to let go, falling our heroine into her marriage of convenience.

Carina Parker has never known love, and her ongoing behavior and actions continue to push the proverbial envelope of acceptance and respect. In an effort to become her own person, she have ventured away from the cold actions of her parents, a venture that has created rumors and innuendo about the life she has led. Sandro has raised his younger sister since the death of their parents but Sandro never expected to find himself falling for a woman fifteen years younger. A battle of wills finds our couple at continuous odds, a battle that threatens both of their hearts. Not all is well within the Vegas Mafia family, and Sandro is forced to ferret out the person responsible for placing a target on his back, and the back of the woman he loves.

The relationship between Sandro and Carina is a forced proximity, arranged marriage, age-gap Mafia romance in which Sandro finds himself attracted to a woman even her parents refuse to love. In an effort to gain control of the Vegas territory, Sandro must ‘tame’ the players, and the woman that calls to his heart. Carina never expected to fall in love with the man she was forced to marry but her issues of low self esteem, and an inability to trust are further ingrained by emotionally abusive parents, and her new sister in law that is refusing to bow down. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Sandro’s sister Bianca; Carina’s sister Celia and her husband Milos Levin (Beautiful Broken Obsession), and their parent Carlo Toro and Cassandra Parker; Luca, Dominic and Tony Sabatini, and their significant others, as well as Sandro’s assistant Natasha, and event planner Lauren Harbaugh.

HIS VICIOUS VOW is a story of dysfunctional family dynamics, betrayal and vengeance; power and control, rejection and obsession, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing, captivating and dramatic; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and dynamic.

Beautiful Broken Obsession
Beautiful Broken Vengeance

 

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me.

I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn’t long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn’t sleep without the light on until I was about ten.

I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it.

I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I’ve gotten better and now I’m writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way.

As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.
