Can I redeem Luca?

I can’t believe The Ivankov Brotherhood has come to an end! But it’s so not the end of the Kutsenkos and their family. They haven’t gone away, but you will see them from a different perspective. We’re moving on to The Mancinelli Brotherhood. I teased a story line at the end of Bratva Jewel, but that’s not the next couple. The next couple will be Luca and Olivia (Livy). Luca’s Salvatore’s heir and still redeeming himself after the disaster he and Carmine caused for Anastasia (Stasia) and Niko in Bratva Treasure.

In Mafia Heir, Luca has a chance meeting with Olivia during a deal that went sideways. He thinks he’s giving her the chance to escape. Little does he know that he’s just had the chance to meet the one. What ensues are the anticipated twists and turns to discover which syndicate is at the heart of the problems. Olivia has a family history that no one in the Mancinelli family expects. It’s oh so juicy. And Luca has a secret too, because why wouldn’t he? Discover why he let Carmine lead him astray.

This story takes place between Bratva Angel and Bratva Jewel, so it’s before Misha and Kitty meet and get together.

I’m currently working on Mafia Sinner. Can you guess who that’s about? Yup. Carmine. That little tease you got at the end of Bratva Jewel plays out here. Carmine has an unlikely second chance when his enemy becomes his lover (and of course, eventually his wifey). Serafina (Fina) is a baker, and she uses her talents in one particular scene to let Carmine know—in the alleged words of the mighty Queen Victoria—we are not amused. I loved writing this scene! I can’t wait for you to read it!

P.S. If you were a baker and wanted to send a nastygram through food, what would you make?
