About the author

Missy is an Australian author who writes kissing books with equal parts angst and steam. She loves writing stories about billionaires, enemies to lovers, and the boy next door- just to name a few.

When she’s not writing, she’s taking care of her two daughters and doting husband.

Inspired by the acreage she lives on, Missy regularly distracts herself by visiting her orchard… some days more often than writing!

Then there’s her overweight cat, Charlie, chickens, and bees if she needed another excuse to pass the time.

And, when the day ends, there’s nothing better than unwinding with a gin and tonic as the sunsets surrounded by the ones she loves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! Would recommend, almost perfect and likely would reread.

Emilia finds herself in a whirlwind of emotions as she grapples with the unexpected turn her life has taken, now confined to a compound and stripped of her hard-earned detective status. Despite her love for Luca, she questions if love alone can sustain them amidst the challenges they face. On the other side, Luca is equally conflicted, recognizing Emilia's sacrifices but struggling to bridge the gap between their disparate worlds. Despite their undeniable connection, they wonder if their love is enough to overcome the obstacles standing in their way.

The drama and spice just get even better, I really enjoyed this. This is very fast paced which for I love particular in a series about one couple. It was so fun to see these two navigate a somewhat normal lifestyle full of intense family dynamics and drama. The ending blew my mind.

I read this as a ARC reader

Tropes: forbidden, mafia romance, detective + mafia don
Triggers: murder, torture, typical mafia activities

Wow loving this series.

This continues on from the first book about Mafia Don, Luca and everything he is doing to protect his girl, ex detective Emilia.

These two are explosive. So hot for each other but Emilia is having second thoughts about everything she had to sacrifice to be with Luca. Their connection is sweet, steamy, romantic and initially forced but she is learning to live in the lifestyle.

Loaded with danger, drama, suspense and intrigue all wrapped up in a fast paced, eventful plot. This is very well done and the series has been a fantastic read. Can't wait for more!!

Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Missy Walker! I first fell in love with Luca and Emilia in Cruel Lust and couldn't wait to keep reading their story in Stolen Love. This book captivated me and it was a page turner from beginning to end! Luca and Emilia are now trying to navigate their new life together after Luca brought Emilia home. I enjoyed getting more of a glimpse into the Santoro family dynamic while they dealt with an enemy who is after their family and Emilia. I kept trying to guess who the traitor was through the book, but I was still shocked at the end (no spoilers here)! I must say that the ending had me in tears. 😥 I am counting down for book 3 because I must know how their story ends!

This is the continuing story of Luca, the alphahole Mafia guy, and Emilia, the ex-detective, and navigating the next stages of their lives together.

This mafia story brings more drama, and steam, and a few more twists along the way. A great read.

Stolen Love is the second book in the trilogy, and ends with a 'to be continued. Thank you @missywalkerauthor for the e-copy of this story.

I’m completely hooked. Now to patiently wait for the next book in the series. Can’t wait to see how it all ends.

4 stars

Wow this book was 😳😲. It left me in shock.

This is book 2 in the Elite Mafia of New York series…this is Luca and Emilia.

So many twists and turns, their life is never easy. Drama, is ever present in their lives in so any ways. The love they have is so beautiful, very hot and steamy and fiery!

Cannot believe it ended there and I am desperate for Book 3 please Missy.

I really enjoyed Book 2 in this series. I loved the romance between Luca and Emilia - and Luca opening up and showing a more vulnerable side. But then the drama starts and I was on edge waiting to see what happens. Bring on Book 3!
