The Years They Stole: A Dark Mafia Romance

Luca De Luca finally knows the truth.

Sofia Bellini did not betray him.

She saved his life.

But the truth comes with a price neither of them was ready to pay.

As Luca and Sofia uncover what really happened the night Alessandro De Luca was murdered, every answer exposes another betrayal. Sofia reveals the threats that kept her away for eight years, the letter Luca never received, and the devastating secret she carried alone after fleeing Chicago.

Someone made sure they stayed apart.

And that person may have been inside Luca’s own family.

When Father Benedetto reveals who intercepted Sofia’s letter, Luca is forced to confront his brother Dante—the man he trusted with the De Luca throne. But Dante’s betrayal is only the beginning.

Hidden payments point toward Elena, the woman who raised Luca as her own son. Marco Bellini’s supposed accident begins to look like murder. Gia’s investigation uncovers a secret Marchetti file. And the deeper Sofia follows the money, the clearer the truth becomes:

Vittorio may have built the machinery of the conspiracy.

But someone else stood above him.

With the De Luca organization beginning to fracture and the Founders’ Council preparing to decide who should rule, Luca must finally face the throne he walked away from eight years ago.

But when Sofia and Gia become the final pieces in Elena’s desperate plan to protect Dante, Luca is forced to make an impossible choice.

The empire he was born to rule.

Or the woman he already lost once.

The Years They Stole is Book Four of The De Luca Empire, a dark mafia romance saga filled with second-chance love, family betrayal, hidden conspiracies, possessive devotion, dangerous power, and a love that survived eight stolen years.

The truth is finally out.

Now the family that created the lie is beginning to burn.
