ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 29, 2021

Luca Sabatini saved me and an entire truck full of women on our way to be sold into sex trafficking—but who will save me from him?

He tells me I belong to him, that a Sabatini keeps what is his. I shouldn’t want to belong to anyone, yet a longing I don’t understand thrums through me—an attraction I cannot deny. Except it’s not safe for me, or him. I climbed into the back of the truck of my own free will because I’m running from a fate far worse.

For the first time in my life I feel safe with Luca. He promises no one will ever hurt me again. He will protect me from what I’m running from; he’ll kill anyone who is a threat to me. I want to believe him—he’s run Vegas for the Outfit for almost as long as I’ve been alive. Only the man I’m running from has an entire army behind him. If I thought Luca could go up against him and survive, I would stay, but others have tried and paid with not just their lives but the lives of their families. I could never live with myself if Luca and the Sabatini family ended up dead because of me.

When I’m found the reckoning is one of bullets and blood, just as I feared. Only one question remains: Once the smoke clears, who will be left standing?

REVIEW:HIS: LUCA is the third instalment in Fiona Murphy’s contemporary, adult THE SABATINI FAMILY erotic, dark, Mafia, romance series- a spin off from the author’s Dirty Billionaires series. This is thirty-six year old, Luca Toro Sabatini, and twenty-four year old, Isabella ‘Bella/Isa’ Reyes’s story line. HIS: LUCA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luca and Bella) HIS: LUCA follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-six year old, Luca Toro Sabatini, and twenty-four year old, Isabella ‘Bella/Isa’ Reyes. Isa, as she was called, has been ‘given’ not once but twice to two older men in an effort to appease her father’s friendships with the Mexican cartel but tired of the abuse, one of Isa’s brother arranged for our heroine to be ‘shipped’ off with a truck filled with women destined for sexual slavery, only to be rescued by Luca Sabatini. Luca’s attraction to Isa aka Bella is immediate, and claims Bella as his own. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bella and Luca, and the potential fall-out as Bella’s past demands retribution targeting Luca in the process.

Luca Sabatini is the illegitimate son of former Chicago hitman Tony Sabatini but with the death of his step-father, Luca took over the control of Las Vegas, Nevada. Working to rescue kidnapped women from sexual slavery, Luca ensures the women he saves, have a place to stay but discovering Isa aka Bella Reyes stirred something deep within our story line hero, and Luca immediately claimed Bella as his own. Bella knew she would always have to be on the run, fearing not only her father but the Mexican Cartel. Never expecting to fall for Luca Sabatini, Bella struggled to remain with the Sabatini family believing her presence placed a target on the people with whom she was falling in love

The relationship between Luca and Bella is one of immediate attraction. For Luca, it was a case of insta-love, for Bella, her attraction and love grew within a matter of hours and days. Luca knew Bella would one-day be his wife but Bella struggled with a past that refused to let go. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my ‘romance’ story lines.

All of the previous story line couples, including those from the author’s Dirty Billionaire Series play secondary and supporting characters. We are witness to the growing and expanding families, as well as a look to the future, also revealed in a previous story line. Tony Sabatini plays a larger role in Luca’s story line.

HIS: LUCA is a story of family and relationships, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, love and happily ever after. The premise is entertaining ; the characters are animated and captivating; the romance is seductive and intense.

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me. 

I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn’t long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn’t sleep without the light on until I was about ten.

I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it.

I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I’ve gotten better and now I’m writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way. 

As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.
