Ka'oir DeLuca never expected her life to be bartered like a business transaction, but when her father, Alexander DeLuca, struck a deal to save his legacy, her hand became the price. Promised to a man she had never met, thrust into a world she did not choose, Ka'oir is ripped from the only life she's ever known and bound by blood and bargain to the cold, powerful, and enigmatic Christopher Alessandro Barrone. Christopher is not what she expected. He's not cruel. Not careless. He doesn't treat her like a debt paid or a possession gained-but as a wife. With patience and command, he teaches her what it means to be wanted, what it feels like to be chosen, and what it costs to love someone in a world like his. Because Christopher's world is dangerous. It bleeds. And it kills. Ka'oir quickly learns that this life is nothing like the one she left behind. Beneath the luxury and control lies a legacy of secrets-about her father, her family's ruin, and the truth of what she was born into. She is no longer the quiet girl from the DeLuca estate. She is a Barrone bride now. And in Christopher's world, love isn't soft. It's possessive. It's protective. And sometimes, it's brutal. By Blood and Bargain is a darkly seductive tale of sacrifice, secrecy, and survival. With searing chemistry, forbidden tenderness, and the weight of empire resting on vows exchanged, this story asks one question: Can a love born from duty survive in a world built on blood?
