Bound To The Boss
A marriage based on blackmail. A contract signed with blood. And a man who follows his own rules. When feisty, impulsive Ciara Moretti is lured into the perilous world of the Romano Mafia, her life is upended quickly. Her father's betrayal has sold her to the highest bidder: Luca Romano, the brutal and demanding Mafia boss. Cold, arrogant, and sinfully dangerous. Luca does not want a wife; he wants a pawn. A beautiful shield to protect his empire. However, Ciara is not the frail doll he expected. She's stubborn, sharp-tongued, and ready to fight tooth and nail for her freedom. Unfortunately, the more she resists, the more Luca wants to own her. The mansion may be her jail, but it is the fire between them that is most threatening.
However, the lines get increasingly hazy the more she battles. She is enraged and at the same time drawn to his dominance, uneasy by his presence, and most terrified by the boiling tension between them. Ciara must make a choice in a realm of darkness where love is a weakness and loyalty is deadly. Either resist the Mafia boss's dangerous pull or give in to him entirely.

Chapter: RunMy feet were blistering and bleeding, but I didn't give up. No, I couldn't. As I pushed into the forest, branches clawed at my arms, and the chilly night air burned my lungs. I dared not turn around. I had no idea how far I had gone; all I knew was that the mansion had vanished behind me hours ago. In my mind, I saw the sight of that man's body; wide eyed, mouth contorted in a mute scream. Blood had gathered like a halo under him. Luca had ordered him dead and watched with such ease as he was tortured. As if he'd done it a hundred times already. He might have. I could still hear the sound of the gunshot. I shivered at the memory, slowing for a brief minute to grab onto a low wall for support. He must have noticed that I was gone by now. He shouldn’t have made me see that. I shouldn't have been there. I was also supposed to still be locked up in that gilded cage, being the good little play thing. But I wasn’t. I made it out. Barefoot and breathless, I tightened my grip on t

Chapter: The Cage Tightens This house was a prison and Luca was the warden. The worst part? A small dark part of me wanted the chains. To be bound by them. I quickly shoved the thought away, got to my feet and started pacing the room with my fists clenched. There had to be a way out, there had to. There always was. No guards at the door, windows left unlocked. A trap dressed up like freedom. I grew impatient with each passing minute. I had to do something. I got up and tested the balcony first. Second floor. High enough to break something if I jumped. I looked below, towards the gates. It had armed guards patrolling like clockwork. Escape was definitely not happening tonight. The mansion stayed quiet. Too quiet. Seconds turned to minutes and minutes turned into hours and still, nothing. By the time I heard footsteps again the moon was high in the sky, casting silver across the marble floors. Yet I stayed hidden by the window, watching Then I saw him. Luca Gosh, I hated him. And

Chapter: DinnerThe door groaned open and I slipped into the hall.The house was quiet, as expected. The marble floor was long with shadows. It gleamed like a spotlight above, like it was taunting me.The hallway was infinite, adorned with fine artwork and polished wood.“Leaving so soon?” I almost jumped out of my skin at the unexpected voice. A man was standing by the stairway wall. Early thirties, solid as a wall, in tailored black; must be the trending look. One of his hands was lodged casually inside his pocket while the other was relaxed near the gun at his side. His boring, flat eyes skimmed over me like I was nothing to him. “I was… just looking around.” I said while straightening my spine. Hoping I looked as confident as I thought I sounded “Of course "However, the boss would rather you stay for dinner." He spoke in a respectful tone I was about to argue when a voice, as smooth as silk and as sharp as a blade, interrupted. "My curious kitten, ." Halfway down the stairs, L

Chapter: Rules Of The CageThe mansion was quiet. The kind of heavy, eerie silence that crawls under your skin.The room smelled expensive. The mild aroma of wood polish leather and something vaguely fragrant. Even the air seemed loaded with money. Velvet curtains bordered the huge windows. The marble floor glittered under soft recessed lighting. Everything is precisely arranged, designed, and phony. I walked the room, arms tight across my chest and every stride reminded me that this wasn't a nightmare I'd wake up from. This was my new reality. I stood by the massive window in my new bedroom. The glass stretched from floor to ceiling, overlooking well manicured gardens with the black iron gates in the distance. It was beautiful and yet it was a cage.My suitcase sat untouched by the bed; I hadn’t unpacked a single thing. The stupid walk-in closet taunted me with what seemed to be unending rows of designer clothes and shoes I never asked for.Everything here was expensive and cold. Just like Luca. The do

Chapter: The Trap Closes“I don't care who he is! I am not going with you.”I tried to keep my voice sharp but the cracking at the edges betrayed me. Still, I held my ground.Luca had walked out of the cafe and now two men stood in front of me. They were built like soldiers… or something worse. Their very presence screamed danger.One of them tilted his head, and replied. “Not really your choice, Miss. You need to come with us.” "Did you not hear me? I said, I'm not going.....I didn't get to finish that sentence before one of the men reached for my arm. I jerked back and snapped. “Don’t touch me!” my pitch increasing.The cafe was empty, the street was quiet. They had chosen the perfect spot. No one was coming to save me.This was a setup. I guess that's what I get for wanting closure.“Miss, we can do this the easy way, or....... the hard way. Your call. ” the taller one said, stepping forward towards me. I panicked.I looked around frantically for help or an exit, but there was none. So I looked to the

Chapter: The Contract I should have known meeting my father after all these years would be a terrible idea. The second I stepped into that overpriced, sleek little cafe, I felt it. That twist in my gut, a warning. But like an idiot, I stayed.I told myself it was just coffee and a conversation; closure. Right??? Boy could I have not been more wrong. Here I was, staring at the man I hadn’t seen in nearly a decade, and he looked… older. Colder, more expensive.He smiled and I could tell it was a fake, politician type smile. He gestured to the empty seat across from him. “Please, sit, Ciara.”Gee, I came all this way to stand... I said sarcastically. I took the seat. Of course. After a moment of awkward silence I asked "I hope you're not planning to poison me?"He smirked and said “If I wanted you dead darling, you wouldn’t have made it past the door.”How heartwarming. I folded my arms tightly across my chest. “Now that we've gotten the fake pleasantries out of the way, why am I here?”He slid a thin bl
