Bound by Deception
(2024)(The second book in the Lords of The Commission - New York series)
A novel by Stephanie Amaral
Francesca
While men made war, women were expected to keep the peace.
I had loved a man before. I swore that would never happen again.
So marrying for the sake of the family wasn’t the worst thing.
That’s what I thought.
I was a mafia princess afterall and serving as a trading item was my only role in this world ruled by men.
But the man waiting for me at the altar, wasn’t the one who my uncle had given me to.
Matteo Battaglia would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, and that seat in The Commission would be his even if my life and my heart was the demanded sacrifice.
He needed to marry to finally take his place. I was the last piece to his ascension.
Bound by Deception is the first book in a duet, written in dual POV with open door steamy scenes. The completed duet can be read as an interconnected stand-alone romance novel that ends with a guaranteed HEA. Please be warned that the first part of the duet ends on a brutal cliffhanger.
For the complete experience please be sure to read the second book of the duet Torn by Honor.
This is the second book in the Lords OfThe Commission – New York series and it’s a lighter shade of Mafia romance, featuring forced marriage and enemies to lovers tropes amongst others. There are dark subjects throughout, but it can’t be considered an overly dark story. Content warnings do still apply.
