Bound To The Rival King

Book 2 (Temptation Danger Series)

Isabella Conti was raised around crime, but never owned by it.

She grew up in the orbit of a powerful organization, where loyalty is strategic, silence is survival, and every relationship is measured for risk. But unlike most women in that world, Isabella was protected. Shielded from obligation. Given an education, independence, and the rare freedom to choose her own future instead of being used to secure someone else's.

Until she chooses the wrong man.

He's Irish. Calculated. Dangerous in a way that doesn't need to announce itself. And hiding a secret that could dismantle everything he's built.

What begins as intrigue turns into something far more volatile when Isabella realizes he didn't get close to her by accident. She was access. A calculated risk. A means to an end he never intended to fall for.

Except he does.

And once feelings enter the equation, nothing stays clean.

As the lines between strategy and desire blur, Isabella is forced to confront the truth about the life she was raised in and the freedom she thought she had. Because loving a man like him doesn't just endanger her heart. It threatens alliances, exposes secrets, and puts targets on backs that don't miss.

When the past resurfaces and truths begin to crack the foundation beneath her, Isabella makes a choice she was never trained for:

She runs.

But in this world, distance doesn't equal safety and some men don't walk away when they lose control.

They escalate.
