In the shadows of a city teetering on the edge, Alora, a fiercely independent operative, has always been able to separate duty from desire-until now. Tasked with capturing the elusive and enigmatic Alexander Lupé, she finds herself drawn into a deadly game where the lines between hunter and prey blur.

Lupé is a master manipulator, a man of many faces whose charm is as dangerous as his criminal empire. He's always been a step ahead, but when Alora crosses his path, the stakes are raised. As they circle each other in a high-stakes chase, sparks fly, and their attraction becomes an irresistible force.

But in a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal lurks around every corner, Alora must navigate a labyrinth of secrets, lies, and her own conflicting emotions. Every move she makes brings her closer to uncovering Lupé's true intentions-and to losing herself in the process.

Will Alora capture the man who haunts her dreams, or will she be ensnared in his web of deceit? 

Bound by Shadows: Love Against All Odds is a thrilling tale of passion, danger, and a love that defies the darkness.

It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more. Enjoy the roller-coaster, you are locked in... - Potential PTSD triggers! - BDSM themes! - Mentions of rape. - Mentions of abuse. - Mentions of torture. - Gun play! - Knife play! - Dark kink!
