Bound By Silence, Claimed By Love
Aaliyah Moore never imagined love would come with a price.
When her mother’s life and freedom hangs in the balance, Aaliyah is forced to accept a deal that changes everything: a two-year contract relationship with Rowan Blackwood, a cold, powerful billionaire whose public image needs saving as badly as Aaliyah needs money. No love. No questions. No escape.
To the world, they are the perfect couple elegant, intimate, untouchable.
Behind closed doors, Aaliyah is invisible, trapped in a relationship built on control and silence, slowly falling for a woman who treats love like a weakness.
As emotions blur the lines of the contract, betrayal strikes from within. Framed, abandoned, and stripped of everything she thought she had, Aaliyah walks away with nothing but her broken heart and her dignity.
But walking away changes her.
When Rowan finally uncovers the truth, she realizes the woman she tried to own is no longer waiting to be claimed. Aaliyah is stronger now, independent, and no longer willing to trade herself for survival.
This time, Rowan must face the one thing she fears most: love without control.
In a world of power, secrets, and painful choices, Bound by Silence, Claimed by Love is a slow-burning LGBTQ+ romance about learning that real love isn’t demanded, negotiated, or owned, it’s chosen.
And sometimes, the greatest love story begins after walking away.
