** Bound by Shadows**

In the heart of Italy's opulent underworld, the name Romano is synonymous with power and fear. Kylie Romano, the youngest and only daughter of the powerful Romano family, has always lived in the shadow of her father's empire. After the death of her mother when she was just a child, Kylie's world was defined by her family's expectations and the dark, controlling nature of her protective older brothers.

At nineteen, Kylie is the epitome of softness amidst the harsh reality of her family's world. She longs for freedom and a life beyond the gilded cage that has held her captive. With her father's decision to marry her off to Aldo Alberto Russo-a ruthless mafia heir with a reputation for cruelty-Kylie's sense of entrapment becomes unbearable. Aldo, at thirty-one, is known for his heartless demeanor and his family's legacy of ruthlessness, traits that he shares with his five younger brothers and his formidable father.

Determined to escape the life that has been forced upon her, Kylie makes a desperate bid for freedom. But her brother Dante, the eldest of her five protective siblings, stands in her way, torn between his duty to the family and his love for his sister. As Kylie ventures into the unknown, she finds herself navigating a dangerous world where her family's enemies and her own fears threaten to consume her.

In a journey fraught with danger and heartbreak, Kylie must confront the shadows of her past, the dark promises of her future, and the undeniable pull of her own desires. As she battles for her freedom, she will discover that escaping the chains of her past might be the only way to forge a future worth living.

53 parts Complete Mature
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. I never thought my world would crumble at the hands of a man like Alessandro Rossi-a 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 draped in silk suits and ruthlessness. One moment, I was Yasenia Fraga, daughter of the powerful Galician mafia Don Juan Fraga, and the next, I was dragged into a war I never asked for. Alessandro didn't just kidnap me, he aggressively took over my life. He ripped me from my peaceful life and thrust me into his darkness, forcing me to marry him to secure his family's grip on my father's territory. To him, I'm nothing more than a bargaining chip, a way to tighten his stranglehold on Galicia. But Alessandro doesn't realize that breaking me will cost him more than he expects. Under all that cruelty lies a sick obsession, one that seeps into every look, every touch, every promise of destruction. He's ruthless, controlling, and heartless, yet something darker stirs between us, something neither of us can deny. In his world, love doesn't exist, only power. And if I want to survive, I'll have to decide if I'll fight him, or let myself be consumed by him. Because one thing is clear-whether I want it or not, I am his. And in his eyes, I always will be. 🔞 #1 - mafiaboss #1 - guns #1 - secrets #5 - forcedmarriage #10 - enemiestolovers #7 - possessive #13 - drama #2 - guns

In searching for the enemy, he stumbles upon the chirpy adorable nurse named Lilly Hastings. What she doesn't know is that she saved the life of Carter Romano's biggest enemy and Carter kidnaps her because he thinks she knows the answers to where he can find Rossi. Torture turns into lust, lust turns into possessiveness, and possessiveness turns into... What could it be, darling? ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ "I am not buying this dress. It's too revealing." He smiles "You can't even afford it, Lilly. So I am buying this." He stands up and makes his way to me. His body language was calm but his eyes were like a fire that was about to burn me. I turn around to walk back into the dressing room but he's hot on my heel, following me inside it. The space was cramped but he closed the door and locked it. Pinned me up against the wall. My breathing hitched when I felt the cold wall on my bare back and I gasp when he grabs my hips. He leans, almost hovering, and kissed my cheek "I'm buying this dress so you can wear it for me one day." I swallow "I'm never wearing this." He chuckles in my ear which makes my stomach feel crazy "You're wearing this for me so I can take it off, darling."
