Bound by Power

Warning: There will be some smut but not a lot.

Christian Sanchez is the cold, calculating heir to the Mexican Mafia, raised in a world where power, loyalty, and violence define his every move. With his father's empire now in his hands, Christian is ready to take control, but when his family forces him into an arranged marriage with Marina Moreno, the heir to the Italian Mafia, everything changes. The union is meant to unite two rival families and cement his rule-but Christian has no desire for a wife, especially one as stubborn and strong-willed as Marina.

Marina Moreno has been groomed for leadership in the Italian Mafia her entire life. Smart, strategic, and fiercely independent, she has always relied on her own power to navigate the treacherous world of organized crime. But when her father demands she marry Christian Sanchez to solidify their family's dominance, Marina is torn between her duty and her hatred for the man she's supposed to marry. From the moment they meet, the animosity is undeniable. Christian is arrogant and ruthless; Marina is stubborn and defiant. Neither of them is willing to back down.

Forced into a marriage that neither of them wants, their relationship is a constant battle-full of heated arguments, secret schemes, and growing tension. But as they are drawn closer together by the dangerous world they both inhabit, the line between hate and love begins to blur. Secrets are uncovered, alliances are tested, and both Christian and Marina must confront their own demons.

In a world where loyalty is everything and trust is a luxury they can't afford, can they learn to trust each other? Or will their rivalry tear them apart, leaving nothing but betrayal in its wake?

Bound by Power is a story of passion, revenge, and forbidden love, where two powerful souls are forced to choose between duty and desire, loyalty and betrayal, and power and love.
