Beyond Deception

Blurb

Matt Battaglia is the future all time poweful and commading Don of New York Mafia. After a fewd with the Detroit mob family, Matt decided to take his brothers place in an arranged marriage to join the families and keep the peace.

Francesca Amato is no pushover, but she knew that her mafia background was what would bind her future to a stranger husband. She accepted her fate, but what she didn’t except was being tossed around like a ragdoll. She was supposed to marry Liam Battaglia, the New York Mafia enforcer and brother to the future powerful Don. But instead, Matt decided to take his brothers place and simply only inform her about the matter, no questions asked. It’s not that much of a big deal right? It’s just the rest of her life that’s at stake.

But she can’t refuse, or a mob war will erupt in the streets of her beloved city. She lives and breathes duty, and she will take this blow for the sake of the family.

What they both didn’t expect was how much alike they are, and how hard they would come to fall for each other.

What Francesca didn’t know, was that it was all a lie. There was no need to unit the families through her marriage to Matt, because her former fiancée was going to marry her uncle’s long lost daughter. The families would be tied, but Matt still went on with the arrangement.

Will it be possible to believe and trust again after the pain of being deceived?

This wasn’t her first time being tricked, and Matt’s actions will bring up all her past hurt and heartbreak and throw Francesca into a rabbi thole she only barely got to survive.
