Cora revealed her next release is Alluring Deception the second book in the Five-Leaf Clover series. She also confirmed that Aran Devaney is the MMC, while the FMC has not been revealed yet.

Release Date: July 8, 2026

Tropes:
● Hidden Identity
● Nanny / Boss
● Dark Secrets
● Age Gap
● Mafia Romance
● OTT Hero

Information:
● Imogen isn't one of the main characters.

● At the end of Dangerous Innocence there was just a teaser note saying we’d find out what happened to Imogen in the next Five-Leaf-Clover book. It didn’t say she would be the main character or reveal the couple. This may simply mean she will appear or that her story will continue in some way.

More recently, Cora mentioned that she "changed her mind/had inspiration for one of the Devaney brothers". It’s unclear whether this means Imogen is no longer getting a book, or if she was never meant to get one. Since the series is about the five Devaney brothers, with each book focusing on one brother, it’s also unclear if Imogen would be paired with a Devaney brother at all.



The Devaney brothers (oldest to youngest) and their couples
(for reference because I keep forgetting the order, each brother is expected to get a book)
1. Balor Devaney
2. Lorcan Devaney x Aislinn Killeen (Dangerous Innocence, book 1)
3. Aran Devaney x To be revealed (Alluring Deception, book 2)
4. Callahan Devaney [twin]
5. Caden Devaney [youngest twin]

[Sasha Mars]

The second book in the Five-Leaf Clover series follows the story of Imogen (Aislinn Killeen's sister) and an one of the Devaney brothers.

The tropes announced for this series were:
- Hot mobsters
- Strong family bonds
- Irish setting
- Arranged marriages, age-gap, enemies-to-lovers, alpha male anti-heroes...

The publication date for this book was placed in 2024 after the publication of Dangerous Innocence.

Due to publication delays in other books by the author, it is not known if the date still stands.

Cora is currently working on a book that she has not disclosed, and she will not reveal the book until she has finished the first draft.

Could this be the book she is working on?

We will have to wait to find out.
