Bound by Duty

The Story

Dante operates with cold logic as the heir to the Chicago mafia, carrying the weight of a past loss that haunts his every decision. His choice to marry Valentina is strictly a business move, uniting two widows who share nothing else in common. Yet Valentina refuses to endure another marriage devoid of affection. As she navigates her complex feelings toward her new spouse, she remains unaware of a shifting dynamic. Despite his rational facade, Dante’s heart begins to stir for the woman he selected for duty. The arrangement starts as a strategic alliance, but the emotional landscape beneath the surface proves far more volatile than either anticipated.
