Bound by Shadows
Celeste Romario was never meant to fall in love. As the CEO of her family's empire, she was raised to value power over passion, control over chaos. Her marriage to Elijah Blaze was a carefully orchestrated deal-a merger between two corporate dynasties, built on wealth and influence, not love. Behind closed doors, their relationship is cold and distant, their perfect public image nothing more than a well-crafted illusion. Elijah has another woman. Celeste has her company. And love? Love has no place in their world. But then, Ace Astor steps into her life. A former soldier with a past of his own, Ace is assigned as Celeste's personal bodyguard-a man bound by duty, honor, and an unspoken rule: never get too close. But from the moment he enters her world, he sees what others don't. He sees the cracks in her armor, the silent war she fights, the loneliness she refuses to acknowledge. And against all reason, he wants to protect her from more than just physical threats. Their connection is forbidden, their attraction a slow-burning fire that neither of them dares to name. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes to resist. And in a world where reputation is everything, crossing the line could cost Celeste everything-her empire, her freedom, and the dangerous wrath of her husband. But some desires refuse to be denied. And the more Celeste fights it, the deeper she falls. In a world where love is a weakness, will Celeste risk it all for the one man who was never meant to be hers? #1 heartheart 10/03/2025 #4 heartheart 17/03/2025Complete
