Movies for All Ages

Based on the novel by Cora Reilly. As the heir to the Chicago mafia, Dante is logical to a fault. The only thing Valentina has in common with him is being a widow. When Dante chooses her as his next wife, it's a business decision made by a man still haunted from losing the love of his life. But Valentina won't repeat the lovelessness of her first marriage. As she struggles with her own desire for her new husband, little does she know -- his heart may have already started beating for her.

Bound By Hatred is based on Cora Reilly’s third book in the Born In Blood Mafia Chronicles. Gianna is the Scuderi family’s little princess, but all she has ever wanted is freedom. She wants freedom from her father’s demand that she marry into the Famiglia, but she also wants to escape the bloodshed and everything her sister has been forced to endure. Gianna has already seen what kind of monsters these men can be.

Her family has other plans. They force Gianna into marriage with Matteo Vitiello, a ruthless killer who wants her all to himself. Known throughout the Famiglia as the God of Blades, Matteo is also the younger brother of the man who robbed Gianna’s sister of her virginity. While Gianna remains powerless to help Aria, Luca Vitiello seems ready to claim her older sister completely.

No matter how many times Gianna says no, Matteo always finds a reason to pull her back to him. In their world, they are born in blood, sworn in blood, and bound by hatred. Matteo becomes Gianna’s dangerous prison—and the one temptation she can never fully escape. He is ready to burn the world for her, but when will Gianna finally feel the same way?
