Bound by Blind Vows

Nikolai Thorsen never believed in love-especially not in a marriage forced upon him by his father. Legally blind yet fiercely independent, he has spent his life keeping people at a distance. Cold, composed, and emotionally detached, he has never cared when women walked away from him.

But Isadora Almeida is different. She doesn't flinch at his sharp words or cower under his icy demeanor. Instead, she meets him with quiet defiance, her presence unsettling him in ways he refuses to acknowledge. Their marriage is nothing more than a contract, yet somehow, she invades his space, his routines, and-against his will-his thoughts.

He told her she was just a caretaker, that he wouldn't love her, wouldn't touch her. But now, he finds himself drawn to her warmth, growing restless when she disobeys his rules and furious at the thought of her with another man.

He may be blind, but when it comes to Isadora, he's starting to see the truth-he might not want a wife, but he can't afford to lose *her.*
