Bound to the Devil I Wed
Elena Moretti has spent her life fighting for scraps of affection from a father who never truly wanted her. So when she is offered in marriage to Luca De Santis: the cold, powerful mafia heir who has every reason to hate her family, Elena knows exactly what she is: a sacrifice.
To Luca, the wedding is revenge dressed in silk. Elena is the daughter of the man he blames for his parents' deaths, and taking her as his wife is the perfect way to make the Morettis pay. He doesn't want her love, her trust, or her heart. He wants obedience, distance, and control.
But Elena is not what he expected. Beneath her gentle smile is a woman shaped by quiet neglect, and the more Luca watches her, the harder it becomes to see her as the enemy. As his walls begin to crack, jealousy, resentment, and old hatred gather in the shadows of his home. When stolen secrets go missing and Elena is framed for betrayal, Luca makes the cruelest mistake of all - he believes she is her father's daughter.
By the time the truth is uncovered, it is too late.
The woman who returns from prison is no longer the soft, hopeful bride he married. Silent, shattered, and carrying wounds he can never undo, Elena becomes the living proof of Luca's failure. Now the man who married her for vengeance must face something far worse than hate: the unbearable ruin of losing the only woman he was too blind to love until he broke her.
