You never forget the man who saves you from your worst nightmares- Especially when he's the one you swore you'd never let in. Aurora Sinclair would rather be alone than let anyone see her scars. But when her family hires a bodyguard after a string of terrifying threats, she's forced to share her luxury apartment with Marco Mikhaylov; a tattooed ex-con with cold eyes, filthy secrets, and no patience for spoiled rich girls. They hate each other on sight. He's too controlling, too close, too good at reading her weaknesses. She's stubborn, reckless, and makes his job hell. Every day is a battle: arguments that crackle with electricity, close quarters that leave nowhere to hide, and late nights where hatred starts to blur into something much more dangerous. But as the stalker gets bolder, and the line between protection and obsession shatters, Aurora and Marco's forced partnership turns into the fight of their lives. Every touch burns, every secret hurts, and every night together strips them down to the truth: sometimes, your worst enemy is the only one who makes you feel alive. Bloodline Ties is a dark romance for anyone who loves the taste of forbidden and the thrill of enemies who can't keep their hands off each other.
