The secrets within the bloodlines of this family are deadly ... Emma Sorrento went from a carefree, young woman one day, to the paid-for bride of a mafia boss the next. She had been groomed for this life and position, but she didn't even realize it until it was too late. Promised to a man she despised, and stuck in a world where her desires and happiness are of little importance, she quickly learned to keep quiet and stay pretty. That is how she survives, even when life deals her devastating blow after blow, determined to knock her down for good. Until one day, a man with black eyes, a black soul, and a blacker heart wakes her up again. He's dangerous. He's all parts bad. He's also her husband's nephew, and she should know better. Calisto Donati gives Emma every single reason to live. And maybe die, too. They were never star-crossed. They were always impossible. Donati Bloodlines: The Complete Trilogy follows the story of Emma and Calisto through three full-length novels, to a final Happily Ever After. It also includes a 20k companion novella to the trilogy titled Behind the Bloodlines.

They’re not star-crossed—they’re impossible. Emma Donati wasn’t given a choice in the end, and the one she was forced to make saved more lives than just hers. If only knowing that was enough to get her through the hell she’s currently living. Instead, she’s paying the price for the lies they’ve told, and the cost is unbearably high. Some days, it feels like she imagined it all. Like everything with Calisto was a dream. But they were real once. Even if now, he doesn't remember any of it. And if protecting the only thing she has left of him means lying to the one man who might be able to save her—so be it. Except the truth still has consequences, and when Calisto finds out what she’s done … not even God will stop him. Note: TW for miscarriage, child loss, and DV.

They’re not star-crossed—they’re impossible. Bought and soon-to-be delivered, Emma Sorrento will be the next wife of a New York Don decades her senior. Not by choice, but as a mafia princess—was there ever one? But the soul-black eyes of the man tasked with ensuring her safe arrival to the wedding of her nightmares tempts her like no other. In the worst possible way. Calisto Donati. He’s entirely forbidden. The nephew of the man she’s supposed to marry. And just a touch from him could get her killed. Is it worth it? Now Emma has two problems. Saving herself from a marriage to a man she doesn’t want, and not falling in love with the one she does. NOTE: The Donati Bloodlines trilogy includes THREE parts that should be read in order—part one and two end on a cliffhanger, and part three is a HEA.
