Torn By Honor by Stephanie Amaral

Francesca
While men made war, women were expected to keep the peace.
I had loved a man before. I swore that would never happen again.
So marrying for the sake of the family wasn’t the worst thing.
That’s what I thought.
I was a mafia princess afterall and serving as a trading item was my only role in this world ruled by men.
But the man waiting for me at the altar, wasn’t the one who my uncle had given me to.
The future Don of the New York famiglia had taken his brother’s place in this arrangement. Even though a part of me fluttered at the thought, the other part was enraged that they would toss me around like I was nothing.
It stung that my future husband had so little respect for me when, despite having sworn off love, all I wanted was for him to look at me as more than an item off his list.
Matteo Battaglia would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, and that seat in The Commission would be his even if my life and my heart was the demanded sacrifice.
He needed to marry to finally take his place. I was the last piece to his ascension.
Torn by Honor is the second book in a duet, written in dual POV with open door steamy scenes. The completed duet can be read as an interconnected stand-alone romance novel that ends with a guaranteed HEA.
For the complete experience please be sure to read the first book of the duet Bound by Deception.

This is the third 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 amongst others. There are dark subjects throughout, but it can’t be considered an overly dark story. Content warnings do still apply.
