Five years ago, Noel De Luca was erased from his family’s legacy with a single signature and a blood-soaked kiss. Sent into exile for loving the wrong boy—the heir to a ruthless mafia empire—he disappeared, forgotten by the city that raised him in shadows.
Now he's back. Not as the bastard son. But the man was determined to burn it all down.
Cassian Moretti is no longer the prince of New York’s underworld. He’s a king in waiting—powerful, dangerous, and engaged to a woman who’s more weapon than bride. But when Noel returns, memories ignite, secrets resurface, and desire threatens to destroy everything they've both built.
Bound by a past they never escaped and a contract that nearly killed them, their reunion sparks a war between duty and obsession, loyalty and vengeance. Because in this world, love isn’t a weakness.
It’s a loaded gun.
Deceived is a gritty, emotionally intense, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance about two men trapped by legacy and lust. Expect forbidden kisses, power plays, deadly secrets, and a love story carved in blood.
