Wicked Heat

 WICKED HEAT: Bound by Shadows is a dark, seductive fantasy novel that follows Ariella Vance, a woman driven by vengeance into a world of masked power, forbidden pleasure, and dangerous submission. When she infiltrates the infamous House Mercione to uncover the fate of her missing sister, she is drawn into a secret society where control is currency and desire is a weapon. Entangled with a former enforcer, seduced by a sadistic heir, and ultimately betrayed by the one person she trusted most, Ariella descends into a labyrinth of pain and power where love and loyalty are illusions. But when an ancient binding ritual fuses her soul with the monster she came to destroy, Ariella must choose: become the queen of ruin, or fight to reclaim the last fragments of herself.

This is the first book in a series that explores erotic power, dark sisterhood, and the price of becoming unstoppable.
