BOUND BY THE ENEMY KING: A DARK MAFIA ARRANGED MARRIAGE ROMANCE by Sara Shine

He kidnapped her on their wedding night. Now she’s the captive bride of the enemy king—and the only woman who can bring him to his knees.

Mafia princess and lethal enforcer Aria Valenti is traded in an arranged marriage to end a bloody feud. Her groom? Dante Russo—the ruthless, scarred mafia king who holds her family responsible for his sister’s murder.

But on their wedding night, the fragile truce shatters. Dante drags his new bride to his fortified mansion, declaring her his captive. What begins as revenge ignites into scorching obsession: wall-slamming hate-sex, nights chained to his bed, possessive bites and hair-pulling dominance that leave her branded as his in every way.

Trained to kill and never surrender, Aria fights back with fire and fury. Yet forced proximity and shared secrets slowly unravel them both—turning raw hatred into an all-consuming passion neither can escape.

As betrayals surface and war erupts, Aria faces an impossible choice: flee the man who owns her body and soul... or claim her crown beside the enemy who has stolen her heart.
