ANNIE'S SPACE LGBT+

“BOUND BY FIRE; by day they hunted each other and by night they burned. A Boy's Love Mafia Romance By Annie's Space In the criminal underworld of Bangkok, two mafia heirs are born enemies, but destined for something far more dangerous than rivalry. Jay Vavaporn is the only son of a notorious Thai crime lord. Raised behind iron gates and blood-soaked legacies, he's been groomed to inherit an empire, one built on silence, fear, and absolute loyalty. Across the city, Jack Charlie is heir to a rival syndicate with his own scars and a father whose cruelty runs deeper than the business they command. When a near-fatal encounter throws Jay and Jack into each other's lives, a spark ignites. What begins as a wary curiosity evolves into something neither of them can control: an emotional bond forged in secrecy and rebellion. But in their world, love is betrayal...and being caught means death. As tensions between their families rise and war inches closer, Jay and Jack must navigate a world where every glance could be a weapon, and every kiss could cost them everything. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to choose between the loyalty they were born into and the love they were never meant to find. Bound by Fire is a dark, emotional boy's love novel exploring forbidden romance, generational violence, and the courage it takes to rewrite destiny.”
