ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 31, 2022

I killed my father and started a mafia war.

The marriage I’ve been running from may now be my only salvation. The problem is, I can no longer say I don’t want Giovanni Guerra. And wanting a man like him could prove far more dangerous than my traitorous family.

All is fair in love and war, and vengeance… vengeance will be mine.

REVIEW:A VOW OF LOVE AND VENGEANCE is the second instalment in LP Lovell’s contemporary, adult TAINTED VOWS dark, erotic, Mafia romance duet first introduced in the multi-authored Underworld Kings, set in the author’s Kiss of Death world. This is the continuing story of Mafia boss Giovanni Guerra, and eighteen year old, Mafia princess Emilia Donato. A VOW OF LOVE AND VENGEANCE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book one A VOW OF LUST AND FURY.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence and dubious consent, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Giovanni and Emilia) A VOW OF LOVE AND VENGEANCE continues to focus on the acrimonious relationship between Mafia boss Giovanni Guerra, and eighteen year old, Mafia princess Emilia Donato. Emilia Donato was sold by her uncle to Giovanni Guerra, a move to acquire more power within the Chicago Criminal Underworld but the murder of Roberto Donato at the hands of his daughter Emilia Donato was about to add gas to the proverbial fire and fight for power, a fight wherein the various factions of both the Italian Mafia, and the Irish mob are about to go to war. Meanwhile Emilia and Giovanni’s relationship continues to be troubled and exacerbated by her family connections, and the ongoing pursuit of both her brother and her uncle, a relationship that will be called into question when their marriage of convenience is seen as more of a power play than a love match. What ensues is the building relationship between Emilia and Giovanni, and the potential fall-out as the encroaching war pits family against family, and a hired assassin is called in to finish the deal.

The relationship between Giovanni and Emilia is antagonistic and contentious. Issues of trust begin to bleed into an already volatile situation, a situation that becomes more belligerent as Emilia struggles with what happened and why. Giovanni Guerra doesn’t want his wife to take the blame for the death of her father but the deeper he digs, the more secrets reveal a shaky foundation for the merger between the Guerra and Donato worlds. The $ex scenes are aggressive, intense and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, charismatic and dangerous secondary and supporting characters including Emilia’s uncle Sergio, and her brothers Luca and Renzo; Sergio’s right hand man Matteo; Giovanni’s men Tommy and Jackson, as well as Nero and Una (Kiss of Death), Una’s brother Sasha, and several members of the Irish mob including Liam O’Hara. The requisite evil has many faces.

A VOW OF LOVE AND VENGEANCE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, violence and death, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic, edgy, dark and gritty; the romance is combative and impassioned; the characters are energetic, determined and captivating.
