Bound By Desire

A forbidden love, a dangerous escape, a future worth fighting for. Love is a dangerous rebellion in a world where freedom is a distant dream. Elara has known only chains and fear since being captured and sold to a brutal plantation owner. But the one bright spot in her life had always been Nathaniel, the master’s son who, even as a boy, dared to look at her differently. They shared forbidden moments beneath the oak trees, stolen glances that grew into something deeper, more dangerous. Years have passed since Nathaniel was sent away, and Elara thought their connection was lost forever. But now he's back, hardened, determined, and ready to risk everything to free her from the life that has bound her for too long. As they flee through the wilderness, hunted by those who would see them both dead, their past collides with their desperate present. The fire between them burns brighter as their bond strengthens. Danger lurks behind every tree, and both know the cost of their passion could be fatal. Can they outrun the shackles of a world that forbids their love, or will they be forced to pay the ultimate price for their defiance?
