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.

I love and hate this book 😆... story was good didn't leave you bored ... fast paced, the spicy was yummy ... and then guess what ... TO ... BE ... CONTINUED
Mateo
Mafia Boss in the making ... next in line to the throne but needs to check off a box to be "in" what box?! Marriage one ... But ... little white lies and a brother switch might just be the ticket! Obsession at first sight ... touch her and die vibes ... but things aren't adding up
Francesca!!
Mafia princess, betrothed to a brother to make family ties to have peace. Sounds about right ... until past trauma, miscommunication, trust issues get in your own damn way! ... (I don't like you!)
Unfortunately it's a common issue with me and not liking the fmc, because women just can't get out of their own damn head! I often find myself on the guys side more often than not ... Story was great and I can't say enough about the narrators TOP NOTCH! That Cliff was a kick in the crotch 😆
ALC REVIEW: 4.6 🌟

Stephanie Amaral does a brilliant job layering her characters with depth and conflict. Francesca is fiery and stubborn, while Matteo is that perfect blend of dark and devoted. Their relationship is full of tension, pride, and slow-burn intensity.
The audiobook narration by Joe Arden and Angelina Rocca was everything I expected from the two of them, perfection. Their voices brought the story to life, amplifying every emotional high and low, every seductive whisper, and every heated argument. It’s one of those audiobooks where the performances make the story even better.
I do wish some of the side plots had a bit more focus, especially since I hadn’t listened to the first book, it took me a moment to get my bearings with the background characters. And that ending? Brutal. The cliffhanger left me stunned and immediately desperate for the next book.
If you love arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, and mafia romance with a HEAVY dose of angst and spice, Bound by Deception delivers all of it.
intoxicating mix of passion, power, and danger

Performed by Angelina Rocca and Joe Arden
Francesca and Matt
Arranged marriage between two Mafia families, so they can join the families together.
Matt falls first, He falls hard. Francesca finds it hard to trust Matt, does he really love her or is this all business.
I enjoyed both Angelina and Joe's perfomances

Let me process because this I just can not right now.
Okay. Update time.
Man - I devoured this book! The banter back and fourth was *chefs kiss* I always knew there was something behind the reason Matt jumped at the chance to marry Francesca.. we just never knew they met before and had undeniable chemistry. Francesca’s take no shit mentality from the first just had me knowing this was going to be a steamy high angst ending but I was not expecting to be left on a cliffhanger. Matt’s possessive energy for Francesca was just so hot from the get go. No touching, looking, and fantasizing about MY woman. 🥵
Overall loved this book to pieces! Thank you for the ALC!
Cliffhanger alert!
