Bloodbound: The Alliance
Landen Vacheron, heir to a fortune built on oil and ambition, has lived his life as a wealthy playboy, the world bowing to his every whim, thanks to the empire his billionaire father, Colton Vacheron, forged. But as his older brother Vance steps into the role of CEO, Landen begins to see that the true cost of power and privilege is far greater than he ever imagined. Avara Du Pont is a devoted daughter who set aside her own dreams to bolster her father’s political aspirations. Unaware of his dark secrets. When it comes to light, Colton Vacheron offers him a proposition he cannot refuse; a marriage alliance between Avara and Vance, as a way for him to garner more political influence. And Mayor Du Pont will receive a king’s ransom as payment to stave off the shadows spilling into his life. Avara agrees to the fake relationship in order to protect her family from her father's criminal ties.

Kelsey POV
When it's time to meet the director and the showrunner himself. Avara insists on my presence—a non-negotiable demand she wrangles into this high-profile interview. It wasn't because she can't handle the questions herself. Avara is like a diamond; she shines the brightest because she has undergone the most pressure and she had to do it with a pretty smile. But I guess, the comfort of having me nearby, a familiar anchor in the tense arena of media scrutiny, is something she couldn't forgo.
