Shadow Bound- Ashton Irwin

Marcella Moretti was born into a kingdom built on fear.

As the daughter of one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the country, her future was never hers to choose.

She just didn't know how little freedom she truly had.

Ashton Irwin is hired to protect her from enemies lurking in the shadows.

His job is simple.

Keep her alive.

Don't get attached.

And never forget who she belongs to.

But when Ashton uncovers a secret that was never meant to leave the walls of the Moretti estate, that Marcella is being auctioned off to secure a marriage alliance, everything changes.

Especially when the girl he's sworn to protect becomes the one thing he can't walk away from.

Now they're trapped between loyalty and desire, family and freedom, duty and obsession.

And if they want a future together, they'll have to survive the empire determined to tear them apart.
