In the midst of heartbreak, Alaina Sullivan finds herself entwined with Dominic Santoro, a powerful and enigmatic stranger. But their whirlwind encounter is shattered when Dominic's father is assassinated at their betrothal announcement - a union arranged by their families years ago.

As ancient secrets and lies surface, Dominic's world is rocked. Blinded by rage and suspicion, he targets Alaina's father, convinced of his guilt. Alaina, caught in the crossfire, becomes a pawn in a deadly game.

Kidnapped by Dominic's enemies and forced to confront the darkness surrounding her family's legacy, Alaina's survival hangs by a thread. Will Dominic's desire for vengeance consume him, or will he come for her, despite the hatred burning between them?

As storms rage within and around them, Alaina and Dominic must navigate treacherous family ties, hidden agendas, and their own forbidden attraction. Will their love be the anchor that selves them, or will it drown in the turbulent waters of their families' twisted past?

STORMBOUND HEARTS

The silence is almost deafening. You know when silence is so mute yet so loud that you can hear it? That's how painful loud this silence is. I'm not sure what should come after now. Will they finally kill me? Am I no longer useful to them now? They've not said anything and as the call drops I don't know if I should be relieved or disappointed. 


On one hand, I had hoped Dom wouldn't come for me. I won't be able to live with myself if he lost his life because of me, yet I'd still hoped he'd come anyway. Did my life matter so little to him? And my father is still with him. What did I expect anyway? He thinks my father killed his father. The whole Sullivan name should give him fucking PTSD at this point, yet this men thought I meant so much to Dominic that they kidnapped me to use as bait for him.
