Bound by the Black Harbor

The Story

Elena Vale thinks she is just a quiet pawn in New York’s underworld, destined for a political marriage. Her father suddenly forces her to wed Lucian Graves, the heir who just returned from prison. Lucian accepts the union to exact revenge on her father and reclaim what was taken from him. Elena submits only because her father threatens her sister’s safety. After the wedding, they are trapped together in a cold, desolate estate. She despises him for ruining her life, while he hates her for carrying the blood of his enemies. As the Black Harbor ledgers surface, the truth behind her mother’s death emerges, along with the secrets of her origins. Elena realizes she is not merely a bride traded for power. She is the true heir to Black Harbor. She is no longer anyone’s daughter or simply Lucian’s wife. She becomes the new mistress of Black Harbor.
