Bound by Law

Clara O'Donnell has built her life on logic, law, and carefully written contracts. Love has never fit neatly into any of them. So when she agrees to a marriage of convenience with James Kavanagh-a widowed father fighting to protect his daughter-it is meant to be practical. Legal. Temporary. Nothing more. But living under the same roof begins to change everything. Between courtroom battles, public scrutiny, and a child who sees far more than either of them expects, Clara and James discover that some bonds can't be reduced to paperwork.
What began as a legal arrangement becomes something fragile, terrifying, and real. As secrets surface and rivals circle, they must decide whether their marriage will remain a contract-or become a promise. Bound by Law is a deeply emotional Irish romance about found family, quiet devotion, and the courage it takes to turn obligation into love.
