Bound by the Warlord

At her own engagement gala, Elena Stone’s fiancé tears up their vows, brands her as collateral for her family’s crushing debt, and locks a barbed titanium collar around her throat. Then ruthless warlord Gabriel Vance drags her through shattered glass and claims her in front of the city’s elite. Imprisoned inside his blizzard-locked mountain fortress, Elena refuses to kneel—even as Gabriel controls every door, every escape route, and every breath between them. He is the enemy who stole her freedom, yet his possessive touch ignites a dangerous hunger neither of them can suppress. When enemy forces breach the fortress seeking the override to her collar, Gabriel pulls her into the shadows and reveals the only way she will survive his territory. Will Elena surrender her body and her pride to the warlord who owns her debt—or use the chaos to destroy him from within?
