Blood stains my hands, my soul, my heart, yet I’ll shed more to keep her safe.
The Oath Duet, an all-new must-read wicked and dark mafia romance from Serena Akeroyd, is now available!
The Don
A chance meeting brings Jen MacNeill into my life—the woman born to reign at my side.
She just doesn’t know it yet.
How could my Lady be anything other than a silken promise taunting me with every breath she takes?
A new Don reigns over Manhattan.
But though I won the war, peace isn’t easily brokered.
Over a decade of avenging my father’s death, I made many enemies.
To each and every one, Jen’s a target.
But I’ll paint NYC red before I let them harm her.
I just never imagined I’d be in the line of fire first…
A heart broken by grief can feel no guilt or shame with the brutality in which vengeance is delivered.
This is the first part of ‘The Oath’ duet in The Valentini Family series.
Review
Luciu is a dream. Dangerous and filthy rich mafia don who can kill for his women. Jennifer is someone with a dark past, who has learned not to trust anyone, but she is one strong lady. Both of these characters come from a past that is darker than black, which has shaped them into the people they are. This is their story.
This book is super smutty and will surely make you swoon. However, before getting into the book, you should be well aware of the fact that it is a mafia novel which means there is violence and some triggers. The thing that sets this book apart is the detailed mafia world that Serena Akeryod has been able to build. The history of the mafia is super detailed and helps the reader delve deeper into the story. It keeps you gripped till the end.
Another thing that I found was super commendable about this novel was the way the author has handled the characters. The protagonists are so layered, complex, and well written, that by the end of the story you will connect to both at a very deep level.
However, I was a little confused at how exactly the characters met at first. But then as the story developed it didn’t really matter.
Would love to recommend this book to all the mafia romance lovers. My rating for this book is 4 out of 5 stars.

Excerpt
I stared out onto the city, well aware that even if it were daylight, no one would be able to see in here. It made me feel our isolation more, and I loved it.
Wanted it.
Craved more.
Needed like I’d never needed before.
Then, everything changed.
It was quite accidental.
A sharp turn around a bend had us jostling into each other. Nothing crazy. But our hands slipped, and the edge of mine brushed against his crotch.
He had a hard-on.
He had a hard-on, yet he wasn’t pawing at me. Wasn’t treating me like I was a whore. Was holding me as if I were the opposite, in fact.
His control was lust-inducing.
His arousal was inspiring.
And I wanted both.
I wanted his control ruptured.
His arousal burned off.
On me.
I turned my face to the side, letting my lips press against his throat. His pulse bobbed as a result and as I let my tongue dart out to play, he groaned, and I felt the soft vibrations. Encouraged, I sucked down, nipping and teasing as I made my way up, soft kisses dancing against the line of his jaw where I could feel the slight bumps of stubble that would begin to grow soon.
Finally, I found his mouth. Reaching up with my free hand, I encouraged him to tilt his head downward so our lips could meet.
A whimper escaped me when they did.
It felt as if I’d been waiting a lifetime for this moment, for the meeting of our mouths, for this kiss. Time stopped still, everything in me freezing as my body processed the rightness of the connection between us.
About Serena
I’m a romance bookaholic and I won’t touch a book unless I know there’s a happy ending. This addiction is what made me craft stories that suit my voracious need for raunchy romance. I love twists and unexpected turns, and my novels all contain sexy guys, dark humor, and hot AF love scenes.
I write MF, Menage, and Reverse Harem (also known as Why Choose romance,) in both contemporary and paranormal. Some of my stories are darker than others, but I can promise you one thing, you will always get the happy ending your heart needs!
