Rosie Labrun is a lot of things: a college student on the cusp of graduation; an intern for the Portland Pirates, a romance novel connoisseur; and the most recent addition to her resume...the girlfriend of a professional athlete. She won't let it define her, though; no, she will define it. I mean, in theory. In reality, she's just as vulnerable to the pressure of the public eye as a child star that's hasn't yet been sent to rehab. Then there's Erik King: a professional hockey player and recovering catfish, who's finally managed to land the woman of his dreams. He's also managed to knock her up within a few hours of becoming her boyfriend - but that's besides the point...I think. Thrusted into the florescent spotlight of money and fame, will these two lovebirds be able to make it through whatever challenges come their way? Or is happily ever after, really only something that happens in romance novels?

Mateo Costello rules with fear. A rising mob boss with blood on his hands and enemies at his feet, he's built his empire on brutality, loyalty, and the unspoken promise that betrayal ends in death because that is all he's ever known. Nobody crosses him twice. Nobody survives long enough to try. Then he meets Malia Sofia. Defiant, elusive, and impossible to control, Malia burns through every wall Mateo has spent years building around himself. She's all sharp edges and wildfire fury, the kind of woman who would rather start a war than bow her head. And for the first time in his life, Mateo finds himself undone by someone he can't intimidate, buy, or break. What begins as dangerous attraction quickly spirals into obsession. Drawn together by violence, secrets, and a hunger neither of them can resist, Mateo and Malia are forced into a world where love is lethal and loyalty comes at a price. Because in the mafia, blood binds deeper than promises... and once you're pulled into the darkness, there's no escape. Bound in Blood is a dark, action-romance, filled with power, obsession, betrayal, and devastating consequences. In a world ruled by fear and fuelled by revenge, love may be the deadliest weakness of all.
