Ruthless Oath

An Enemies to Lovers Dark Mafia Romance

De: Lauren Kennedy

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She's been hiding her father's secret for three years. Now she's found one that could bury them all.

Keira Ward has spent three years keeping her family from falling apart. Declan Ward has been a Brotherhood accountant for thirty years. He's also losing his mind, one memory at a time.

So Keira does what daughters do. She takes over. Forges his handwriting. Rewrites his reports at two in the morning. Learns to navigate numbers that don't add up and payments that shouldn't exist. She tells herself it's temporary. Tells herself she doesn't see what she sees.

Then she finds his hidden ledger. A page covered in her father's handwriting from years ago—before the Alzheimer's stole his sharpness. Notes about accounts that vanished. Payments to someone who doesn't exist. And a symbol he drew over and over in the margins: a circle with a flame inside.

When she asks him what it means, he looks at her with terrified eyes and says: "Don't let them know you found it."

But someone already knows.

"You've been asking questions." Eamon Tierney's voice was ice and control. The heir. The one who signs every check and approves every account. The man who should have noticed what her father found—unless he already knew. "Dangerous questions, Miss Ward."

"My father worked for you for thirty years."

"And he was very good at keeping secrets." Eamon stepped closer. "The question is whether you're smart enough to do the same."

She should stop digging. Should protect her father, pay her mother's medical bills, keep her head down like a good little accountant's daughter. Instead, she's about to uncover the one secret someone inside the Brotherhood has killed to keep buried. And Eamon Tierney is about to discover that the woman he forced into his world is the only one who can save it.

Some oaths are made in blood. Theirs is made in numbers.
