Bound in Debt

I’ve always been a walking contradiction. After all, how many people do you know who are a violin maestro AND a mafia member?

Trying to distance myself from my past mob life, I’ve accepted an artist-in-residence position at Thronewood University.
Teaching privileged, barely-adult brats isn’t my idea of fulfilling, but at least it won’t end me back in the hospital or prison.

Been there. Done that.
But there’s something going on at this school that isn’t right. A chance meeting with one of my students, Victoria Waldorf, confirms it.
She’s beautiful, but not vain. She’s innocent, but not naïve.
And she’s a pawn in a game she’s not even aware exists.
I’m the last person on earth who should be protecting her. I’m too hard, too cold… hell, too old to even breathe the same air as her.
Not to mention my past is right in the middle of this mess.
But I’m not going to let anything happen to her.
Keeping her safe means keeping her close. And like it or not, the only way she makes it out of this alive is with my ring on her finger.
A vow I take seriously.
