Bound by Honor (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #1)

by Cora Reilly

“Make him be good to you. Make him love you if you can. It’s the only way to get through this.”

“When I claim your body, I want you writhing beneath me in pleasure and not fear.”

I hadn’t chosen Luca, but he was my husband. I wanted him to be faithful to me. I wanted him to want only me. I wanted to be enough.

Love is something girls hope for when they don’t know better, something women long for when they lie awake at night,

My heart belonged to him even if he didn’t have a heart that he could give me in turn.

“I lied because I hate that I love you, because I hate that you can hurt me without ever laying a finger on me, because I hate myself for loving you even though you won’t ever love me back.”
