She remembers every word anyone says. Tonight she'd give anything to forget four minutes.
Nora Beckett is a Milwaukee court reporter. She takes down what people say, permanently, verbatim, whether or not they meant it. It is an excellent skill in a courtroom. It turns out to be a catastrophic one in Las Vegas.
She flew out for her best friend's thirtieth birthday. She was not looking for a man in a dark suit who watched her across a casino bar like he was deciding something. She was absolutely not looking for a wedding chapel, a plastic tiara, a reception package nobody read, and three sets of paperwork filed with Clark County before anyone was sober enough to ask what they'd signed.
By two in the morning she was married to Dominic Ferraro.
Ten minutes later, she opened the wrong door.
Now the marriage can't be quietly undone, and Nora is on her way to Chicago whether or not she agreed to it: a house on Pleasant Street, a mother-in-law who has already decided how this ends, a father-in-law who tells her things nobody should tell her, thirty relatives at Sunday dinner, and a husband who will not let her leave the block alone and will not come near her.
Dominic Ferraro handles things. He has handled things since he was eleven. He has never once had a problem he couldn't solve by simply deciding - and now he has a wife who writes down everything he says and reads it back to him at the table.
He can't threaten her. He can't send her home. And every day he doesn't get her out of his city, it gets harder to remember why he was supposed to.
She wants her life back. He wants her safe. Neither of them planned on wanting each other.
VOWS IN BAD FAITH is a steamy, very funny standalone mafia romance with a guaranteed happily ever after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger. The danger is played straight. Falling in love is played for comedy. Nobody in this family gets to keep their dignity.
Tropes: accidental marriage - forced proximity - grumpy/sunshine - he falls first and harder - protective, possessive hero - bodyguard - loud, meddling, wildly interfering found family
Explicit and open-door. Intended for readers 18+. A detailed content note is included in the front of the book.
