A Thug's Promise to His Wife

A Thug’s Promise to His Wife

“To love, to hold, to cherish, through health and through sickness. Even if that means loving you wrong, breaking you down, then piecing you back together… ‘cause ain’t no leaving when our souls are tied in blood, passion, and pain.”

Valor Paradis learned at a young age that life don’t show no mercy, but she never expected to be trapped in the grip of a love so powerful it both saved and destroyed her. Growing up struggling, she sacrificed everything to take care of her sick mother and younger sisters. Just when the weight of the world threatened to break her, she met Humble Savage, the quiet storm of a man who takes what he wants and make no apologies for it.

A true-blooded Savage, Humble was born into power and money. He’s feared in the streets, the corporate world, and the courtroom, yet respected by killers. But when he met Valor, he found the one thing he never knew he needed. A woman to claim, protect, and ruin in the same breath. He took her from poverty to riches, from struggling to never wanting for anything. But his love comes with a dark price.

For nine years, Humble kept his promise to love Valor like no other, to stay faithful, to give her the world, and to put anybody who disrespects her in the ground. Even her own blood. But what happens when the love that once made her feel untouchable, loved and safe starts to suffocate her? When the man she can’t live without becomes the one she can’t escape?

Humble refuses to let Valor go, not now, not ever. He meant it when he said ’til death do us part, and he’s willing to kill anyone behind her to prove it.
