Barresi: Emily Trilogy
For the first time, read all three books in the Barresi: Emily trilogy together in one volume! Plus, read an exclusive bonus story called Sanctuary, which isn't available to purchase anywhere else.
Eyes of Stone: The night Luca Barresi stormed into my life, everything changed. The crowned prince of the Mafia’s New Orleans empire rained hellfire down on the jazz club I called home. I wanted to feel something for the brooding playboy, but the man’s a monster. Sure, he’s panty-melting hot, but his heart is frozen ice. He murdered my boss in cold blood, then turned on me because I saw too much. When he caught me snooping, he offered me an impossible choice. The sweet freedom of death or the captivity of life in servitude to the mob pretending to be his girlfriend to protect his image. I guess you can figure out which option I chose. I don’t want to be another notch on his bedpost, despite the spark that sizzles between us every time we put on another act of our little game. Part of me knows better than to tempt fate, but part of me is determined to see just how dangerous he can be.
In The Shadows: He kidnapped me and claimed me as his. He torched my former life and still, I’ve fallen in love with him. Dark, determined, and dangerous – he’s everything I was warned to stay away from, but something draws me to him like a moth to a flame. As the prodigal prince of New Orleans’ underground criminal empire, Luca Barresi is a name that strikes fear into anyone who crosses his path. Possession is nine-tenths of the law, but Luca never had any use for the law, anyway. The crime lord owns me. No longer pretending, the passion between us burns white-hot, but Luca has enemies everywhere and the threat level is rising. Is our love enough to save us when they come knocking?
Surrender: Despite our questionable beginning, there’s no doubt in my mind where Luca and I will end up – if he can beat the city of New Orleans to victory. He’s set to inherit the empire he’s spent over a decade building. Enemies are at every turn and the threat level has hit a fever pitch. Luca is a powerful man with powerful allies, but it’s a race against time and those who would see Luca’s empire crumble. A rookie prosecutor, a rogue cop, and New Orleans’ most infamous drug cartel all threaten to rip us apart. Nobody is safe and I soon find myself in the cross-hairs of more than one enemy. Surprise allies will emerge, as will unexpected traitors. Only time will tell if we can outrun and outsmart our enemies, and if I’m willing to pay the price to love Luca Barresi. There’s only two ways this love story ends – with a funeral or our happily ever after.
This book has mature content that is intended for audiences 18+ including situations which may be triggering for some.

Amazing/Enthralling,couldn't put it down
Loved the characters and the plots,I visited New Orleans a few years back and could picture the areas. I would recommend to anyone who likes dark and steamy .I cannot wait to read Dante.

It started out well
But then towards the last book it dragged.
Too much scenery descriptions and customs etc that I lost interest in the story. Didn't really have a conclusion. I guess you need to read Dante's story to find out what happens.
