Bound by Deception: An Enemies to Lovers Arranged Marriage Italian Mafia Romance (Lords of the Commission: New York, Book 2)

by Angelina Rocca Stephanie Amaral

4.3

Ambition drives Matt to claim his rightful place as a Don within the New York Mafia’s Commission, but the path to power requires a wife. While he has long desired a specific woman, he discovers a complication that threatens his plans: she is already betrothed to his own brother. Refusing to let her go, Matt orchestrates a ruthless takeover, forcing her into an arranged marriage that pits them against one another in a volatile game of power and desire. This high-stakes Italian Mafia romance masterfully blends the enemies-to-lovers and forced marriage tropes into an intense, character-driven narrative. As the tension between Matt and his defiant bride escalates, their chemistry ignites, proving that their union is far more than a political maneuver. Francesca is no damsel in distress; she is a powerful force who challenges Matt at every turn, creating a dynamic that is as intellectually stimulating as it is physically electric. *Bound by Deception* is the first installment of a gripping duet, delivering an emotional roller coaster filled with dark suspense, unpredictable twists, and off-the-charts spice. Be prepared for a soul-crushing cliffhanger that leaves the fate of this complicated couple hanging in the balance, demanding an immediate jump into the conclusion, *Torn by Honor*.

Image 81: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Omg 🥵🥵🥵a must read!!! LORDS OF THE COMMISSION NEW YORK Italian Mafia strong FMC Arranged Marriage Enemies to Lovers Possessive MMC he falls first & harder All I can say is Stephanie almaral has done it again. I have been waiting for Matt and Francesca story after reading Savage Temption. I read this is 6 hours!! She did not disappoint with Bound by Decption. This book was a roller coaster of emotions. Matt and Francisca chemistry is off the charts. Francisca is such a strong FMC who challenges and pushes Matt's boundaries of control. Matt fell first and hard for Francesca there was a sentence that said "Clipping those wings would cost me the woman who had struck a chord inside me unlike any other before. " made me see Matt was falling in love with her quickly it was so sweet ❤️❤️. And the spicy scenes are off the chart spicy 🥵🥵. The black halls scene🥵🥵!! The way they try and fight their feelings for each other keeps the tension building until they finally give in to their desire for each other. The build-up chefs kiss💋🤌💋🤌 But this book also had me in my feelings, especially the ending I was balling wondering why? You can't be serious? You can't leave me hanging like that? I have so many questions. I can't wait till Torn by Honor comes out!!! The anticipation is gonna be crazy.

3 4.3 out of 5 stars](javascript:void(0))(641) Book 2 of 6: Lords of The Commission - New York Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again. See all formats and editions Bound by Deception, Book 2 in The Lords of The Commission Series This book is not meant to be listened to as a standalone. The second part of this duet is TORN BY HONOR, available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Matt Love is a weakness for ruthless men. And I was as weak as they came, just for her. I had a goal. Take over for my grandfather and become one of the Lords in The Commission. The New York Mafia Don. One of the Cinque Grandi. The only imposition was to get married first. To whom, it didn’t matter. As long as I was a married man, the seat would be mine. But I knew who I wanted since the first time I saw her. Little did I know she’d fall into my lap as if fate itself had made our lives collide. I had no idea she was a mafia princess. I had no idea she was my brother’s fiancé. But I couldn’t let him have her, so I took her for myself. Two birds with one stone, right? But she would never surrender, and I thought I wouldn’t either. Bound by Deception is the first book in a duet, written in dual POV with open-door steamy scenes. The completed duet can be listened to 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 listen to the second book of the duet, Torn by Honor. This is the second book in the Lords Of The Commission–New York series, and it’s a lighter shade of Mafia romance, featuring forced marriage and enemies-to-lovers tropes, among others. There are dark subjects throughout, but it can’t be considered an overly dark story. Content warnings do still apply.
