Rival Vows: A M/M Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance

They were rivals forced into marriage. Now they’re fighting for something far more dangerous than power.

Dante Vitale has spent his entire life preparing to lead his family’s empire. Strategic, educated, and ruthlessly ambitious, he’s ready to prove he deserves the position of underboss—until his father announces an arranged marriage to Marco Santoro, the street-smart enforcer Dante can’t stand.

Marco built his reputation through loyalty and strength, not spreadsheets and strategy. The last thing he needs is a husband who thinks he’s too good for the life. But when their fathers announce a competition—six months to prove who’s worthy of leading the merged families—Marco realizes Dante isn’t just his husband. He’s the enemy.

Living together while competing for everything they’ve ever wanted should be simple: keep business and personal separate, may the best man win. But the line between hatred and desire is thinner than either of them expected. Every argument ends in stolen kisses. Every victory at work feels hollow without the other. And when a rival family attacks, forcing them to work together, they discover something terrifying: they’re stronger as partners than as enemies.

Now Dante and Marco face an impossible choice—the position they’ve spent their lives pursuing, or the love they never saw coming. In a world where showing weakness can get you killed, falling for your rival might be the most dangerous move of all.

A scorching enemies-to-lovers MM mafia romance featuring forced proximity, competitive husbands who can’t keep their hands off each other, and the kind of partnership that’s built to last—in the boardroom and the bedroom.
