Season 1 of Bound by Blood
***
Sophia De Luca was raised behind glass, the flawless daughter of a powerful governor whose influence stretches far beyond politics. Desperate for a taste of freedom, she gives in to temptation with a handsome stranger who makes her forget the name she has to uphold. But the illusion shatters when she finds out who he is. Billionaire business tycoon. Power broker. Her father's closest political ally.
And now, her soon-to-be husband, in a marriage arranged to unite two Italian dynasties.
Alessandro Ricci is ambitious, magnetic, and playing a dangerous game of his own, one with secrets that could burn empires to the ground. As desire tangles with betrayal, and loyalty becomes lethal, Sophia must decide, fight for her freedom or fall deeper into the world she was born to escape.
When loyalty means nothing and love might cost everything, only one question remains: can anything survive the blood they're bound by?

It's not just his presence-it's the memory of him. The night at the club still burns beneath my skin, no matter how hard I try to forget it. The way he touched me, owned me for those few stolen minutes. The way he commanded my body without saying a word. That same energy lingers now, in the way he watches me across the table - silent, dominant, undeniable.

While on yet another disappointing date, she heads to the bar to reassess, only to catch judgment from an unimpressed stranger, James Evans, who dubs her quest for love shallow and pathetic.

So when her new boss arrives in town mere days later, Grace is horrified to match his devastatingly handsome face to the broody stranger from the pub. Worse, he wants her gone.
But she won't be removed so easily. After firing her, James soon learns that his new office doesn't function without Grace. Forced to invite her back, James must play Grace's game in order to keep her, not knowing how much of her he wants to keep.
