The definitive edition. More heat. More heartbreak. More blood.

Bound in Blood & Fire: Author’s Cut delivers the raw, unfiltered origin of the Black Crown Syndicate—now with expanded scenes, extended character arcs, and exclusive material not included in the original release.

I was promised to a cruel mafia prince to end a war.
I ran. Took secrets not meant for me and lit the match behind me.

Now I’m holed up in a safehouse with Dario Romano—
the exiled enforcer from the family I despise, with blood on his hands and ruin in his past.

An ally.
He’s dangerous, sharp-edged, cold-eyed…
and when a hit squad breaches the walls meant to protect us, he kills without hesitation.
Not for honor.
Not for the Family.
For me.

That’s when everything changes.

I should run again.
Instead, I stay.
Because behind the brutal hands and bloodstained vows,
there’s a man I don’t want to survive without.
And somewhere between shared scars and stolen nights,
our war turns into something far more dangerous.

But the prince I was promised to is hunting us both.
He wants Dario’s head and my obedience.
And he’ll burn the world down to make it happen.

If I lose Dario now, I lose everything.
So I’ll fight beside him.
Bleed for him.
And when the ashes settle—
I’ll be wearing a black crown.
