When my father’s gambling debts caught up with him, he didn’t just lose his shirt. He lost me.​I was dragged from the only world I knew the gritty, rule-bound human mafia and delivered to him. Luciano "Lucian" Voss. The Red Don. He rules the criminal underworld not with bullets or brutality, but with ancient blood and a centuries-old curse that is slowly rotting his empire.​He didn’t want the four million my father owed. He didn’t want our territory.​He wanted me. He said my blood the rare 'Vein of Eternity' is the only thing that can break his curse and restore his fading power.​Now I am his. The 'Bloodbound Bride.' Imprisoned in his golden penthouse, surrounded by elegant, lethal monsters. He claims it is a simple transaction: my blood for my family's life. But when his cold fangs graze my neck and the 'fated mate' bond ignites between us, I realize this isn't just about debt.​I was fated to be his cure. But I might just be the only weapon that can destroy him.

​"I was meant for the altar, just not the one with a groom.​At eighteen, I had my life planned: a habit, a vow of silence, and a heart dedicated entirely to God. I believed my body was a temple, untouched and unreachable. I had never known desire, never felt the heat of a gaze until I met Elias.​He isn't just a man; he is a temptation that threatens to burn my sanctuary to the ground. Now, every prayer feels like a lie, and every breath near him feels like a sin. Can I keep my vows when my soul is screaming for the one thing I'm forbidden to have?​In a world of holiness and shadows, I’m about to learn that some attractions are more than just a test of faith they are unholy."
