Bloodbound Vows
Joseph doesn't believe in love-only power, loyalty, and control. As the ruthless head of the English mafia, he rules London from the shadows, feared by enemies and obeyed without question. When an old debt forces him into an arranged marriage meant to secure a fragile alliance between rival criminal empires, he expects obedience, not complications.
Isla was never meant to become a mafia bride. Kidnapped, traded, and stripped of every choice she once had, she is handed over to a man known for his cold brutality. Their marriage is nothing more than a contract-one that demands an heir and promises her freedom once the obligation is fulfilled... if she survives long enough.
Neither trusts the other. Neither wants the marriage. Yet as danger closes in from all sides and the war between loyalty and desire begins, the line between enemy and protector starts to blur. Because the greatest threat to both of them may not be rival syndicates or old vendettas-it may be the forbidden attraction neither of them can control.
