Two powerful mafia dynasties. One forced marriage. Zero choices. Elowen Devereaux was raised to believe that love is sacred - something chosen, not negotiated. Caelan Blackwood never believed in love at all. When their families decide to unite their empires through an arranged marriage, both of them become prisoners of a contract written in power, loyalty... and blood. They hate each other. They resist each other. They clash in every possible way. But danger has a way of blurring lines. As enemies close in and secrets surface, hatred slowly turns into obsession, tension into desire, and forced proximity into something far more dangerous - feelings. And when she is taken, he realizes too late: She is no longer just his wife by contract. She is his weakness. His addiction. His reason to burn the world. A dark mafia romance filled with passion, power struggles, intense dialogue, forbidden desire, and love born from chaos.

If not, then carve himself a little deeper just to be closer to her heart.

Sequel of Tethered Secrets can't stay hidden Vengeance doesn't fade Especially if it is centuries old. But love will not betray Even though if it's hoped. As they say, all is fair in love and war. And this was both, love and war which had sucked me into it to make it more. Now I had to see which would win, my love or his thirst and hate.

I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.

My life changed completely once i turned twenty one. My friends and i went out to celebrate my special day but i didn't realise it would be the last time i would see them. I was kidnaped and treated like a slave by a very mean and abusive Vampire that's right a vampire i didn't they existed i thought stories of vampire were only told to scare us of a night time. But this Vampire wasn't just your ordinary Vampire he was the Vampire prince. My friends and family would never get to see me again. I’ve seen my family and friends from a distance when they held a funeral four months after i was kidnapped. They thought i was dead only because Casper took some of my blood and spread it through an abandoned cabin along with some hair and clothes. Six months after i was kidnapped Casper started to become nice he would treat me like a princess and tell me how beautiful i was. I began to fall in love with my kidnapper was it wrong of me to fall in love with him? Was it wrong to agree to marry him after everything he put me through? "What are you going to do Crystal?" I screamed at myself in the mirror.
