Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

Part of you will always want to escape. To be free from the shackles you spent your whole life tied to. But when she finally escaped from under my thumb, I wanted nothing more than to chase her down. Seven years ago, she left me with nothing but unanswered questions and a heart that never quite healed. I tried to move on. I tried to bury the memories of what we were and everything we lost. But some things refuse to stay buried. I want to save her. I want to love her. I want to cherish her. Part of my heart is still tender from the betrayal, from her leaving, and from everything that happened almost seven years ago.

They're here for Alissa and our family, but what they don't know, is that they have to get through me first. And if they think the man I used to be was dangerous, they have no idea what I'll become when they threaten the woman I spent seven years trying to forget.

Now, with our wedding approaching, we're finally standing on the other side of everything that once tore us apart. Or so I thought. Because enemies aren't the only thing capable of destroying a family. Sometimes, the people you love can do far more damage than the ones hunting you.
