Banished. Freed.

Torn from the Martelli Family, and the life he’s always known, Luca Martelli is thrust into a new status quo. Forced to defend his place and compete with members of a Family he always thought he knew.

Broken. Strong.

The task of taking over this faction of Martellis turns out to be more complicated than he had hoped. Especially when faced with Dominic, the ruthless and cold Second in Command, and Teo, the charming yet confounding Heir. Both of whom have their own agendas.

Choices. Orders.

Luca may think he knows how to play the game, but in the Midwest, the question isn’t how to excel, but how low must he go to survive.

Stolen Compliance is book 1 of the Deceit and Defiance series and ends on a cliffhanger. All books in this series must be read in order. This is a dark MMM mafia story. Please see inside for the full list of TWs.

It is a spinoff from the Vendetta Series by Leigh Kenzie. It can be read as a standalone although best enjoyed after reading Vendetta. It does overlap with Crimson Bonds by Abrianna Denae and Leigh Kenzie. While reading that series will give more depth, it is not required.
