Silenced Vow (Fractured Empire #1)

She lost everything in one brutal night.
Elena Rossi's world shattered when she witnessed her father's murder in a bloodstained alley. The trauma stole her voice, leaving her trapped in silence while the mafia war that killed him rages on.

Now she's under the protection of the Salvatore crime family—the very people her father warned her about.

He speaks with his hands and kills with his heart.
Dante Salvatore isn't just the silent underboss of New York's most feared crime family. Damaged vocal cords from a childhood attack left him communicating in sign language, making him the most dangerous man in any room—because everyone forgets he's listening.

When Elena arrives at the Salvatore compound, broken and voiceless, Dante sees something beyond another victim of their bloody world.

He sees himself.

🔥 What happens when two people who can't speak find a language all their own?
✓ Midnight meetings in a moonlit library
✓ Secret notes hidden throughout the compound
✓ Sign language lessons that become so much more
✓ A forbidden attraction that could get them both killed

But as Elena and Dante grow closer, they uncover a conspiracy that goes deeper than family rivalry. Someone is orchestrating the war between the families—and Elena's survival threatens their carefully laid plans.

Now she must find her voice to save the man who taught her to live without it.
