When he passed, so did she-and the spell lived on, weaving itself into new lovers across the ages. Life after life, one could not exist without the other. Until the spell fell upon the wrong hands. Two witches, bound together, dared to stand against the Mikaelsons. But when Elijah raised his hand to strike, the witch saw through him-saw the longing he buried beneath his nobility. Love. With her dying breath, she twisted her magic into a curse, condemning him to a thousand years of emptiness. His soulmate would not be born until long after he should have turned to dust. Yet Elijah endured. He learned to live without love, to bury his heart in honor and in blood. His mark burned, but he carried it like penance. And then-exactly a millennium later-Scarlett Gilbert was born. The middle child, loved by many, brought into the supernatural world by her older sister Elena. She assumed her sister being a doppelgänger and being infatuated by 2 vampires wouldn't affect her directly... ..Until the night she was delivered to Elijah Mikaelson.

It wasn't their choice. Sloane Everly and Rafe Cameron were brought together by family names, summer parties, and expectations neither of them wanted. Every smile was measured, every laugh rehearsed, every touch a careful performance. They moved through sunlit beaches and glittering boardwalks, pretending a love they hadn't chosen, while the town whispered and their friends rolled their eyes. And yet, amidst the sun and the whispers, their hearts began rewriting the rules they had been forced to follow. Some hearts are found in the tides of a summer you never wanted.

Alice and Frank Longbottom didn't have just one child, they also had a daughter. Erika Vivienne Longbottom, Rika to only a few, unlike her brother, does not see the good in the world. She trusts no one, not even her friends, always alert, reserved, and silent. But her silences are not timid or fearful they are calculated. All her coldness stems from what happened to her parents, their madness caused by an unforgivable curse, and their stay at St. Mungo's. After all, who has ever seen a Longbottom in Slytherin? Her brother Neville is a shy Gryffindor, in his sixth year, while she is in her final year. But this will be a year of changes: a young man will cross the threshold of the Great Hall. A young professor, Tom Riddle, cold and distant, with a dedication to the Dark Arts. A series of punishments, secrets, hidden fears, and a bit of tension could bring the two dangerously close...

Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

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.
