The Bloodhound Princess

The storm & The Shadow 1 story

Summary

Bella Quinn lives a life dipped in diamonds and designer dreams — at least, that’s what the world sees. In truth, she’s an introverted, intelligent girl trapped behind the golden bars of her family’s carefully crafted illusion. A lotus blooming in a pond of lies. Kaiden Bethrov, known in the underworld as The Bloodhound, is a ruthless, untouchable mafia boss with a taste for control and chaos. Feared by many, loved by none — and exactly the kind of man Bella wants to avoid. But fate doesn’t care what Bella wants. When their worlds violently collide, Kaiden finds a new obsession he refuses to let go of — her. And for Bella, the man she fears becomes the only one who truly sees her. As love dares to grow between scars and shadows, the fairytale begins to crack. Because in real life, the beast doesn’t always protect the beauty… Sometimes, the beauty becomes the monster. Will they become the beauty and the beast… Or forever remain the beauty and the bloodhound?
