Bound to the Capo
“Why do you suddenly want out of this marriage? Who the fuck are you screwing, you dumb bitch?!”

In a world absent the mate bond, alliances were formed through blood, power, and betrayal rather than fate.
Makena Blackwell was born into the mafia's lowest-ranking position, promised at birth to a powerful heir in exchange for her family's survival. She was ready to marry him. But he was ready to destroy her.
On the night she was meant to die, however, something impossible happened. A man rose from the icy steel trays of her father’s morgue. He was a stranger, with no memory, no name, and no pulse. And when their gazes met, fate spoke the word they never expected to hear in their lifetime, echoing so loudly in their souls it shook the very fabric of their being.
“Mate!”
The man the world left for dead wasn’t just anyone; he was the dread every mafia house feared, and he was hers.
She was promised to a prince of power… but fate gave her the king of the dead.
