Bound by Darkness (Deluxe Edge Edition)

Step into a dark mafia reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum-where love is a blade, loyalty is a trap, and survival demands sacrifice. Bound by the shackles of a sheltered existence, Aoife Quigley yearns for more than the quiet exile she was forced to endure. An escape to the Maldives leads her to Eamon O'Sullivan, a man shrouded in darkness and desire. Their passion ignites an inferno that defies fate and awakens an obsession. Tragedy rips Aoife from her haven, dreams shattering in its wake. Bound by blood to the Irish Syndicate's throne, she believes that she and her twin brother will reign united. But when her brother shuts her out, all trust is shattered. When Aoife and Eamon's paths cross once more, a chilling revelation sets her on a collision course. She realizes that love and loyalty can be twisted into weapons of destruction. Bound by blood and torn by love, their world spirals into a deadly dance of loyalty and betrayal. Now, trapped between the blade above and the abyss below, Aoife must make an impossible choice. Will the blade of love prove to be sharper than the bonds of blood?
