She never asked to be caught between two ruthless men. But now, she belongs to both of them.
Elena Carter thought she knew what love was-until she met Adrian Knight and Damian Wolfe. One is a cold, calculating billionaire with the world at his feet. The other is a dangerous mafia kingpin who rules the underworld with an iron fist. They are nothing alike-except for one thing.
They both want her.
Adrian craves her like an addiction, willing to destroy anyone who dares to take her from him. Damian? He would burn the world to the ground just to keep her by his side. They don't share. They don't compromise. But for Elena, they are willing to break their own rules.
As secrets unravel and enemies lurk in the shadows, she finds herself torn between the two men who would kill for her, die for her... and never let her go.
But when obsession turns deadly, will love be enough to survive the war between them?

Bound Together
They say opposites attract. Maybe that's true-but sometimes, attraction feels more like a trap than a blessing. Years ago, a deal was struck between two powerful families in Paris. A bargain meant to shape the future-one sealed with the lives of their grandchildren. A deal no one can escape, not even fate itself. She was an artist, sheltered and untouchable, raised on the blurred edges of forgotten memories. An orphan whose past had been buried in shadows. He was her childhood best friend, torn apart from her by forces neither could control. But obsession never dies. Loss only sharpens it. And now, her past is knocking at her door-dressed in tailored suits, bloodstained loyalty, and a promise he intends to keep. "I could not fathom the feeling when I first saw you again. It was sharp-like glass lodged beneath my skin. Back then, I didn't understand it. But later, much later, I came to know it for what it was. Love. I fell for you as a boy. I fell again when you stepped into my office, unknowing, fragile, still painted in the light you didn't deserve. And I fell hardest when you became mine. Do not mistake me for a good man. I was never that. But even monsters love-and for you, my love was absolute. Obsession dressed as devotion. Devotion dressed as ruin."
