Description

Aria Scuderi has been raised in one of Chicago’s leading mob families, where she has little control over the course of her own life. At fifteen, she is betrothed to Luca Vitiello, the heir to New York’s Cosa Nostra. Their planned marriage is not a private choice but part of a peace arrangement between the two families. By the time Aria turns eighteen, the wedding she has dreaded for years is drawing near. Cora Reilly’s Bound by Honor begins with a young woman confronting an imposed future shaped by family power and obligation.
