Bound by Honor

Two families. One bitter feud. A marriage neither wanted-but one that could change everything.

Athena Farnsworth has spent her life defending her family's reputation as a sharp, no-nonsense lawyer who thrives on control. Leandro Devereux, on the other hand, is chaos incarnate-a free-spirited artist who'd rather spend his days painting than entertaining his father's schemes. When decades of rivalry between their families threaten to destroy both legacies, there's only one solution: a marriage of convenience.

Athena sees the arrangement as a way to protect her family, while Leandro reluctantly agrees-under one non-negotiable term: "This is just for show. Don't expect me to play the doting husband."

But what begins as a cold contract soon ignites with undeniable chemistry. From tense bickering at a lavish engagement party to quiet moments of unexpected vulnerability, their guarded hearts start to crack. When Athena defends Leandro against malicious rumors and Leandro captures her strength in a breathtaking painting, they realize there's more to their relationship than they ever expected.

"Why do you always push me away?" Athena demands one rainy evening.

"Because you make me want things I don't deserve," Leandro fires back, his voice raw.

Yet, love isn't their only battle. As a rival family stirs old grudges and their own parents attempt to manipulate their choices, Athena and Leandro must fight for their future-not just against the world, but against their own fears.

Will they break free from their families' expectations-or risk losing the one person who sees them for who they truly are?
