I’ve always been a walking contradiction. After all, how many people do you know who are a violin maestro AND a mafia member?
Trying to distance myself from my past mob life, I’ve accepted an artist-in-residence position at Thronewood University.
Teaching privileged, barely-adult brats isn’t my idea of fulfilling, but at least it won’t end me back in the hospital or prison.
Been there. Done that.
But there’s something going on at this school that isn’t right. A chance meeting with one of my students, Victoria Waldorf, confirms it.
She’s beautiful, but not vain. She’s innocent, but not naïve.
And she’s a pawn in a game she’s not even aware exists.
I’m the last person on earth who should be protecting her. I’m too hard, too cold... hell, too old to even breathe the same air as her.
Not to mention my past is right in the middle of this mess.
But I’m not going to let anything happen to her.
Keeping her safe means keeping her close. And like it or not, the only way she makes it out of this alive is with my ring on her finger.
A vow I take seriously.
Exhilarating and highly addictive! The first book in Josephine Jade’s Bound Series Duet reeled me in from the very first page and quickly had me hooked and looking for more. The groundwork of the story is laid out to the reader fairly quickly as the core characters are developed. I wanted a little more depth put into Dante’s past, but the current happenings were fast paced and well presented. The angst and sexual tension are high as the story falls into place and once Dante and Victoria combine forces, all bets are off and the passion is off the charts. I enjoyed both the danger and the heat as the story progressed. This particular book ends on a cliffhanger, but the second part of the duet releases the same day. Overall, a highly enjoyable read with lots of drama to hold your attention!
