Claimed by His Broken Crown - A Dark Mafia Forbidden Love Romance #986135

Ariadne Vale spent her life believing she was nobody important.
A quiet woman from a forgotten service line.
A name no powerful family feared.
A girl raised in the shadows of people who owned rooms before she was allowed to enter them.
Then the hidden bride archive opened, and her real name appeared in blood bound ink.
Ariadne Vale Ashbourne.
The erased sixth family.
The living descendant of the first bride.
Now the five families want her found, claimed, silenced, or sacrificed, because the oldest Black Vow was never broken. It was only buried. And Ariadne is the payment it has been waiting for.
Sebastian Crowe was born to inherit a crown built from secrets.
His family was trained to watch, collect, and preserve the debts no one else dared to name. He was supposed to deliver the Ashbourne girl when the vow awakened.
But Sebastian has already lost one crown for refusing to obey.
Cold, dangerous, and feared by the families that ruined him, he should hand Ariadne over and reclaim everything he lost.
Instead, he becomes the one man standing between her and the vow that wants her bloodline.
Their alliance is forbidden.
Their attraction is dangerous.
And every secret they uncover pulls them closer to the truth behind Evangeline Ashbourne, the first bride whose name the syndicate tried to erase.
Ariadne is not the helpless payment the old families expected.
Sebastian is not the loyal heir they created.
But if he claims her, he may become the very cage she is trying to escape.
And if he lets her go, the oldest vow may take her forever.
