Bound by Shadows

Adrian's former partner has spent years haunted by shadows-both from his past and from powers he barely understands. Sold to the ruthless Russo crime family at sixteen by his own uncle, he trained to survive, only to find an unexpected home and purpose under the protection of Dominic's father. But he's never truly known freedom, and now, the abilities simmering beneath his skin are growing more potent-and more dangerous.

When he crosses paths with Dominic's best friend, a vampire whose allure is as dark as it is irresistible, he's forced to confront long-buried feelings he thought he'd never feel again. Yet trust is a foreign language, and with a history that's left him scarred and wary, letting someone into his heart feels like an impossible task.

With Dominic and his best friend now vampires, Adrian a warlock, and himself a hybrid caught between worlds, their lives are woven together in supernatural conflicts that threaten to destroy the fragile connections he's begun to form. And as enemies rise from the depths of both his past and the underworld, he must decide if he can break free from the shadows-or if he'll remain bound by them forever.
