Bound by Honor: A Mate Marriage Romance

He was never supposed to want her.

Aria is the sheltered 18-year-old mafia princess of Chicago — raised behind locked doors, protected from the blood that built her family’s empire. Until the night she’s handed over in an arranged marriage to the most dangerous man in New York.

Luca.

Cold. Ruthless. Heir to a throne of violence.

He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t soften. And he makes no secret of the fact that she is nothing more than a transaction — a body to claim and a name to own. But the moment he touches her, something darker and far more dangerous begins to burn between them.

Aria was raised to obey.

Luca was raised to take.

Now trapped in a marriage built on power, not love, Aria must decide if surrendering her body — and maybe her heart — to a man born of violence is her greatest betrayal… or her only chance at survival.

Because in Luca’s world, there are no soft endings.

Only possession.

Only obsession.

And a choice that will either destroy her… or set her free.

One forced marriage. One deadly attraction. One girl who was never meant to survive him.
