BOUND resides the SHADOWS of a DARK ROMANCE. This means while this is a fiery love story between two people who serve darkness, there is also lightness and sweetness between two people who are made from one another, for one another. It's just going to take a while for Nelle and Graysen to figure that out.
Graysen Crowther isn't a fairy tale prince. This isn't a tale of a good guy out to save the world. Graysen and Nelle are bound to a darker world that has hidden in the shadows of society for millennia. And it could take a while to tear down the wall of ice surrounding Graysen's cold black heart.
This story is for those of us who adore antiheroes with redeemable qualities and girls who could burn the world down over a slight.
For those of us who know even in the shadows love exists.
Welcome to BOUND and the world of Houses and Horned Gods.
Enter if you dare...
You've been warned.

When Nelle Wychthorn was forced to sign herself away in marriage, she should have read the contract's fine print. Because she signs not with ink, but with blood. And that changes everything.
Fiery Nelle, the cloistered youngest princess of Great House Wychthorn, has a secret: she's cursed with terrifying powers. In the sinister society of Houses, hidden in the shadows of our own world, no one is permitted to wield magic not approved by the Horned Gods they serve. And if you are discovered, everyone you love will die.
So, the danger is twofold when Nelle must spend an entire weekend with her despised fiance, Graysen Crowther, a ruthless enforcer. Not only does she have to hide her powers from him, but their mutual loathing and hatred for their arranged union exists alongside an undeniable attraction to each other.
Desperate to solve the mystery of the dark magic that lurks beneath her skin, Nelle accepts a deal from Graysen. In exchange for one kiss, he will provide her with an escape from her family's estate, where Nelle secretly intends to seek answers.
But that one kiss awakens something more dangerous than desire and more mysterious than even the magic of the insidious marriage contract that binds them together.
