Bound By Contract

For eleven years, Seraphina Moretti has carried the blame for her twin sister's death.

Once part of one of the country's most powerful families, Seraphina became the daughter everyone wished had died instead. Hidden from the public, shunned by her family, and burdened by guilt, she has spent years trying to earn forgiveness that never comes.

Now, her parents have one final use for her: become the assistant-and future wife-of Luca De Santis, the cold and ruthless CEO of their business partner's company.

Luca never wanted an arranged marriage. Forced to leave behind the woman he loved, he resents everything the engagement represents-including Seraphina.

Thrown together in the corporate world, the two become trapped in a relationship built on bitterness, secrets, and obligations. But as Luca begins to see the woman beneath the rumors, and Seraphina learns that not everyone believes she deserves to be punished forever, their hatred slowly turns into something far more dangerous.

Because some wounds never heal.

And some hearts were never meant to remain broken.
