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

When Matt Russo wants something, he takes it—even if it belongs to his own brother.

Ambition has always been Matt's most dangerous quality, and claiming his seat as a Don within New York's ruthless Mafia Commission requires one thing he doesn't yet have: a wife. He's had his eye on Francesca for longer than he'll ever admit, but discovering she's already promised to his brother doesn't stop him. It only makes him move faster. With a calculated ruthlessness that defines every corner of his world, Matt engineers a hostile takeover that leaves Francesca with no choice but to stand beside him—as his bride and his enemy.

Francesca has no intention of surrendering to a man who stole her future without a second thought. Forced into the treacherous world of New York's underground power structure, she matches Matt's cold precision with a defiance that catches him completely off guard. He expected compliance. What he gets is war.

Set against the glittering, blood-soaked backdrop of Italian Mafia New York, *Bound by Deception* is a scorching dark romance that refuses to pull its punches. The tension between Matt and Francesca burns at a dangerous heat—equal parts hatred and hunger—and every confrontation between them threatens to tip into something neither can control or take back.

In a world where power is everything, the most reckless thing Matt ever did was fall for the woman he trapped.
