Defiant, elusive, and impossible to control, Malia burns through every wall Mateo has spent years building around himself.

Because in the mafia, blood binds deeper than promises... and once you're pulled into the darkness, there's no escape. Bound in Blood is a dark, action-romance, filled with power, obsession, betrayal, and devastating consequences. In a world ruled by fear and fuelled by revenge, love may be the deadliest weakness of all.
