The De Luca Empire

The De Luca Empire is a five-book dark mafia romance saga centered on Luca De Luca and Sofia Bellini—two people bound by love, betrayal, blood, and eight years of lies.

Once, Luca and Sofia believed nothing could come between them. Then Alessandro De Luca was murdered, Sofia disappeared, and every piece of evidence seemed to prove she had betrayed the family.

Eight years later, Sofia returns to Chicago when her sister Gia goes missing.

Her return forces Luca to confront the woman he never stopped loving, even while he hated her.

As they search for Gia and reopen the night that destroyed them, the truth begins to crack apart. Hidden accounts, copied security records, murdered witnesses, buried letters, family secrets, and a conspiracy inside the De Luca organization reveal that Sofia’s betrayal may never have been what Luca believed.

Across five books, Luca and Sofia must uncover who truly ordered Alessandro’s death, survive the people determined to keep the past buried, and decide whether love can survive after trust has been destroyed.

But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because the greatest threat to the De Luca Empire is not an outside enemy.

It is the family itself.

The De Luca Empire is a connected dark mafia romance series featuring second-chance love, enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, possessive devotion, family conspiracy, morally gray heroes, dangerous secrets, power struggles, and a couple learning that protection without trust can become another form of control.

The five-book saga follows Luca and Sofia’s complete story from reunion to reckoning—and from the ashes of betrayal to the choice to build something new together.
