*Bound to Him*
*Billionaire Romance | Arranged Marriage | Possessive Hero | Slow-Burn Obsession*
Lana Grey never expected her quiet summer in the Rivers' estate would turn into a lifetime commitment. Shy, bookish, and invisible to most, she only came to visit her best friend Amelia and secretly admire her twin brother Aiden-the boy she's crushed on for years.
But fate had other plans.
At a formal family gathering, a shocking announcement is made: Lana is to marry Julian Rivers-Aiden's uncle. Ruthless billionaire. Silent protector. And the most intimidating man she's ever met.
Julian isn't just powerful-he's dangerous. Cold in the boardroom and feared in the underground world he controls, he's a man who doesn't do love. Yet from the moment he saw Lana, he knew one thing: she was his.
Forced into a marriage neither of them chose, Lana struggles to understand the man behind the suits and shadows. But behind Julian's control lies a storm of emotions he doesn't know how to express... except through his possessive touch, his silent acts of care, and the fire in his gaze every time she tries to run. As enemies close in and secrets from her father's past begin to unravel, Lana finds herself caught between fear and desire, loyalty and passion, and a love that was never supposed to happen.
Because falling for Julian Rivers was never part of the plan.
But sometimes... the heart chooses chaos.
