The Discarded Daughter

Book One of the Branded Girls Series - Dark Mafia Romance.

Elenor Bishop was raised to survive, not to be loved. As the enforcer of an underground fighting club, she keeps order through silence, restraint, and consequences until a quiet man with sharp eyes and dangerous reach moves into her orbit. He doesn't make promises or ask permission. He moves goods, information, and bodies through a city built on leverage and he recognizes Elenor for exactly what she is.
As old alliances fracture and a buried murder resurfaces, Elenor is forced to confront the truth about her family's death and the men who profited from it. With rival powers closing in, a boss who sees everything as a chessboard, and a woman who mistakes control for affection, Elenor and him must decide what they're willing to risk, for justice, for survival, and for each other.
This is not a love story about healing.
It's a story about recognition, choice, and what happens when two dangerous people refuse to be owned.
