Broken Innocence (#1)
In Broken Innocence, the first book of the Bound by Shadows series, Tessa is thrust into a nightmarish world after being kidnapped by Gideon, a man hell-bent on destroying her for the wrongs of her father. But as Gideon tightens his grip, Tessa discovers there is more to his hatred than she imagined. What begins as a terrifying game of dominance soon becomes a battle for physical and emotional survival.
Tessa
I was the daughter of privilege, sheltered by my father’s wealth, never knowing the danger that was lurking just beyond the surface. Then everything changed. A night of confusion turned into the worst kind of nightmare when I was dragged into a van, cuffed, and thrown into darkness. Now, I’m a prisoner in the hands of a man whose hatred for my family knows no bounds.
Gideon’s world is one of cruelty and punishment, where submission is not just expected, it’s demanded. Every day I wake up wondering if it’s the last, fearing what new torment he’ll bring. But as I resist, as I fight back, I can’t help but notice something twisted in his cruelty—a kind of pain he hides behind those cold eyes.
He blames me for my father’s sins, for the life his family was forced into. He wants to break me, to make me pay for everything. But even as he strips away my dignity, a part of me wonders—who is the real prisoner here? Is it me, trapped in his game, or is it Gideon, haunted by the ghosts of his past?
I never imagined a world like this existed. I never thought I’d be pushed to the edge of myself, forced to decide how far I’d go to survive. I used to think I knew who I was. Now, I’m not so sure anymore.
Gideon
Revenge is all I have left. My family was once everything—successful, happy—until Tessa’s father took it all away. He destroyed us. My father died in disgrace, and my mother… my mother was forced to become something no woman should ever have to be. I watched the life drain from her as she sold herself to survive. I vowed that day I would make them all pay. And now, I have her—Tessa.
She’s nothing like her father, but that doesn’t matter. She’s his blood, his legacy. Taking her is the only way to make him feel the same helplessness, the same fear my mother felt. But this isn’t just about revenge anymore. Tessa isn’t the weak little girl I thought she’d be. She resists, fights, pushes back in ways I didn’t expect. And the more she fights, the more I want to break her.
But she’s changing me too. Each time I hurt her, each time I make her beg, something inside me shifts. I should hate her. I do hate her. But it’s getting harder to tell where my hatred ends and something else begins. I want to own her, control her—but a part of me wonders if I’m the one being controlled.
This was supposed to be simple: destroy her, and through her, destroy him. But Tessa is turning out to be more than just a pawn. She’s becoming an obsession. And obsessions are dangerous, especially when you can’t tell anymore who’s the hunter and who’s the prey.
Bound by Vengeance (#2)
Tessa:
I was just an ordinary woman, living a life of normalcy—until the day I was taken. Kidnapped by a man named Gideon, I became a prisoner in his twisted world of pain and power. He says this is revenge for my father’s sins, that I must pay the price for the destruction my family caused. But how can I atone for crimes I never knew existed?
Now, my body is no longer my own, and with every moment I spend in Gideon’s grasp, I find myself losing more than just my freedom. There’s a part of me, buried deep within the fear and the torment, that longs for the darkness he offers. I hate him. I want him. And I fear what that means for my soul.
But there are others in the shadows, enemies I don’t understand, and my fate is no longer in my hands. I thought I could escape, but now I know that I’ll never be free. Not from Gideon. Not from the desire he ignites inside me. And certainly not from the revenge that binds us both.
Gideon:
Her father destroyed my family, left my mother to sell herself to survive. He never paid for his sins, so I’m here to make her pay in his place. Tessa has no idea what kind of legacy she was born into, but I’ll show her the weight of her father’s crimes.
This isn’t just about vengeance. It’s about control, about breaking her down until she understands the pain my mother endured. She belongs to me now, her body, her mind, her very soul. She’s a means to an end—a pawn in a much larger game.
But as I strip away her defenses, I begin to see something in her eyes, something that mirrors the darkness within me. It’s intoxicating, watching her submission, feeling her struggle with the pull between hatred and desire.
Revenge was my only goal. But now… she’s become something more. Something I can’t walk away from, even as the world crashes down around us.
