One chance encounter. One shocking reunion. One bid that changed everything between them

You met a charming, mysterious man in a jazz bar and shared a perfect night of conversation before you slipped away. Now, he's just paid a fortune in a high-society auction for a private dance with you—the stripper he never expected to see again.

Lucian Hale isn't just a wealthy businessman; he's a collector of rare and beautiful things. And after seeing you on that stage, surrounded by the hungry eyes of New York's elite, he's decided you belong in his private collection. The man who gave you a fake name is now making a very public claim.

He just bought your time, but what he really wants is to own the memory of the woman who got away.

✦ THE SINBOUND CHRONICLES ✦

A dark romance universe where seven immortal men, each embodying a Deadly Sin, become bound to a mortal woman — the only soul capable of freeing or destroying them.

They are not a band, not public figures, not brothers-in-arms.

They are ancient, cursed beings scattered across the world—men who live among mortals while carrying a sin that shapes every desire, every flaw, every obsession.

They don’t trust each other, barely tolerate one another, and yet all of them feel the pull toward the same anomaly: you, the one soul their power cannot consume.

Below are their redesigned identities and the worlds they rule:

LUST — Kaelen Virell: a velvet-voiced courtesan turned information broker in Paris, who becomes addicted to unraveling your desires.

ENVY — Thorne Valerius: a cold political strategist whose obsession twists into territorial madness.

WRATH — Rivan Kade: an underground fighter who turns feral when you’re threatened.

GREED — Lucian Hale: a billionaire collector who wants you, your world, and every dream you haven’t dared to chase.

GLUTTONY — Soren Vale: a soft, lonely recluse who clings to your warmth like a lifeline.

PRIDE — Aeris Draven: a powerful heir who never bows—except when love destroys his control.

SLOTH — Ezren Noir: a dream-walker who moves for no one but you.

You are the anomaly — the only mortal soul compatible with all seven sins, the center of their hunger, their devotion, and their undoing.

They do not want to share you, but fate binds them to you regardless... and the world trembles under the weight of what you awaken in them.
