THE BOUND HEART

Ariadne has always been haunted by dreams of a man she’s never met—his face etched into her mind, his presence lingering like a forgotten promise. When she finally crosses paths with him in the real world, everything changes. The man is Caelen—cold, distant, and far from ordinary. He is an ancient vampire, cursed with uncontrollable magic and burdened by a past that refuses to stay buried. Despite his resistance, Ariadne is drawn to him with an intensity she can’t explain. She believes their connection is fate. He believes it’s a threat. Caelen’s curse isolates him in a cycle of destruction: every time he uses his power, something vital is stripped from him. He fears that letting Ariadne in will only lead to losing her, too. But as their lives intertwine, the truth becomes clear—Ariadne may be the key to breaking his curse. To free him, she must risk her heart, her sanity, and perhaps even her life. In a world of dark magic and forbidden longing, The Bound Heart is a tale of fate, sacrifice, and the devastating price of loving a man born of darkness.
