Our fathers arranged our marriage. I planned his murder. He made me fall in love instead.
Gabriella Ricci knows exactly what this marriage is: a business merger wrapped in white lace. Marco Corso needs her father's territory. Antonio Ricci needs the Corso family's protection.
And Gabriella? She gets no choice at all.
But her new husband isn't what she expected. He's cold. Controlled. Completely uninterested in playing happy couple for the cameras.
Until the first time someone threatens her. Then Marco Corso becomes something else entirely.
Possessive. Violent. Mine.
What starts as a forced arrangement becomes something darker when pregnancy changes everything. Suddenly Gabriella isn't just Marco's wife in name—she's carrying his heir. And in their world, that makes her both precious and vulnerable.
When her father crosses the line, Gabriella has to choose: family loyalty or the man she's falling for despite every reason not to.
The choice should be simple.
It's not.
Because loving a Corso means blood, violence, and consequences. And Gabriella's about to learn that in this family, happily ever after is earned in gunfire and sacrifice.
BOUND BY BLOOD is a dark mafia romance featuring a forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers tension, fast-burn chemistry, pregnancy, and a heroine who takes matters into her own hands. Contains mature themes, explicit content, violence, and patricide. HEA guaranteed.
