Bound By Bleeding Crowns

Francesca Di Mauro is a commodity. As the only daughter of Chicago's most powerful Mob King, she has spent nineteen years locked in a gilded cage, protected, untouched, and destined for a political marriage. She dreamed of freedom.

She never expected to be traded to the devil himself.Dante "The Reaper" Vane doesn't want a wife. The ruthless, cold-blooded Don of the New York Syndicate wants vengeance for a past betrayal, and he will stop at nothing to tear the Di Mauro family apart. Claiming Francesca as his bride isn't about love-it's about absolute destruction.

Locked away inside Dante's sprawling, shadow-filled gothic estate, Francesca is trapped in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with a monster who controls her every move. Dante promises to clip her wings and break her spirit. But Francesca has fire in her veins, and she refuses to bend.

As dark secrets unravel and danger closes in from rival families, the terrifying line between hatred and obsession begins to blur. Francesca must learn to survive the Reaper's touch-because in his world, you either submit to the darkness, or you learn to rule it.
