#1
Privilege
2019
They didn’t come from the same world … Born rich to a family of mafia royalty, Lucia Marcello was already destined to succeed. She wanted for absolutely nothing, until she met him. Born poor to parents who never cared, Renzo Zulla was already destined to fail. He has struggled for absolutely everything, but she’ll prove to be his biggest fight yet. She’s high society from the upscale suburbs. He’s a drug dealer from New York’s slums. They just weren’t meant to be … until they were. What would it take to change a life—an entire perspective? All the things you thought you knew and wanted? For them, it took thirty-six days. And the privilege of meeting each other. They shouldn’t be. They don’t fit. Love doesn’t care. Note: Privilege is book one in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.

Harbor
2019
Lucia Marcello is the good girl—or she used to be. The youngest mafia principessa of her family, she's not the one who falls for the man from the wrong side of the tracks, and she certainly shouldn't have run across the country with him. She'll leave everything behind for him … Renzo Zulla is the bad guy—society and life labeled him that way. The only person left to take care of his siblings, he couldn't afford the distraction of falling in love with a rich girl far beyond his league, and he definitely shouldn't have her riding shotgun as he runs for his life. He doesn't want her anywhere else … Love keeps them together. Fear keeps them running. Chaos follows them everywhere they go. How long can they keep moving before someone finally catches up? The cost of love is always high. Never harbor it blindly. Note: Harbor is book two in a three-book trilogy following the same couple.
#3
Contempt
2019
How much is too much? Five years—that was the deal. Renzo Zulla gave up five years of his life to repay a debt to an organization that only wanted to break him before they could make him. Their way, their rules. He doesn’t move without their okay, even if his latest job puts him right in front of her. But the five years are almost up, and he knows exactly where he’s going first. Love doesn’t follow rules … Heartbroken and alone—that’s how she survives. Lucia Marcello is alive, but a part of her still feels dead without him. She’s spent far too much time running away from her past and the pain she constantly holds tight because it’s easier than hating the people who caused it. But life has a way of bringing you back when your heart never will. Love doesn’t fade … But time means nothing, and forever might be only an illusion for them. Because where fate doesn’t step in, reality does. If hate is a game you play with your heart, and contempt is the game you play with your mind … where does that leave love? Vendettas don’t care about love. It’s in God’s hands now. \* Note: Contempt is the final book in a three-book Trilogy following the same couple.

Forever
2019
Five years after their wedding, and life is good for Renzo and Lucia. If not a little stressful. They’re always on the move—Lucia with her gallery, and Renzo being an assassin for The League. At the chance to slow life down with a week-long trip for just the two of them to Bali, they can’t pass it up. But even Bali will change things … It’s one more step toward forever.
#5
Cusp
2020
Diego Zulla is all grown up. Or mostly. On the verge of adulthood, with the choices that come along with it staring him right in the face, Diego has a decision to make. Risk everything to chase a dream all the way across the country or take the safer route that everyone else would choose for him. He thinks he knows what he wants. But does he really? Life always has a lesson to teach. When balancing on the cusp of something great … jump. Headfirst. And unafraid.
