Beautifully Brutal (6 book series) Kindle Edition
Beautifully Brutal (6 book series)
Kindle Edition
by Emma Luna (Author)
The Beautifully Brutal Series explores the dark and dangerous lives of the Doughty family, their friends, and the people they fall in love with. This Irish Mafia family is dark, full of drama, and devilishly sexy. Each book centres around a different sibling, and their love interest, and each couple gets their own HFN in their book.

Although each book features a different couple, the other family members feature heavily, and therefore it may contain spoilers to the other books. There are also interconnecting themes and plots that feature in all the main books, and they should therefore be read in the order recommended below.

Please note - Dangerously Deceptive and The Ties We Break are prequels that take place before the events of Black Wedding. They do not need to be read in order to follow the main plot. However, they feature backstories to some of the main characters, so you can read them if you want more of the Doughty family.

Here's the recommended reading order for the main books:
  • Black Wedding - Bree & Liam's Story
  • Trust In Me - Kellan & Mia's Story
  • Fighting To Be Free - Kian & Freya's Story
  • The Time Is Now - Ryleigh & Shane's Story
  • The Lies That Shatter - Finn & McKenna's Story
  • Together We Reign - Evan & Teigan's Story
Dangerously Deceptive is Kellan's backstory and should be read before Trust In Me.
The Ties We Break features back story for Kian and Desmond, and can be read before Fighting To Be Free.

Black Wedding: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beautifully Brutal Book 1)
by Emma Luna (Author)
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 343 4.1 on Goodreads 504 ratings
Ruthless, feisty, incredibly sexy, and far from the timid daddy’s girl I was expecting.

That’s Brianna O’Keenan–daughter to an Irish mob boss and my idea of settling a debt.

The plan was simple. I would take her and hold her ransom to get the money I was owed, but my sweet Bree has her own agenda.

She wants to dominate in a world ruled by men, but she needs my help. Her family’s rules state only men can run the business, so she proposes we get married.

In turn, she would get the power she craves and I would get my money and show the world I'm not to be messed with.

But what happens when real feelings start to develop and we realise our wedding isn’t all that black?

AUTHOR NOTE

Trust In Me - A Dark Mafia, Enemies to Lovers Romance (Beautifully Brutal Book 2)

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 99 4.6 on Goodreads 138 ratings
Every woman in my life has let me down, hurt me, or abandoned me. Which is why the only female I hold close to my heart is Hallie—my daughter.

But being a single father comes with certain challenges, so I hire a nanny.

Someone who can do her hair, tell her stories, and be the motherly figure she doesn’t have.

When Mia starts, I know she’ll be perfect, but I have to keep her at arm's length. I tell myself it’s because I don’t know how to fix her broken soul from the past she’s so desperate to hide, but in reality, it’s more.

The way I feel about her scares me. She’s beautiful, feisty, and so incredibly kind.

Although I try to deny it, I can feel myself falling for her. And when our pasts collide with the present, we have no choice but to face our demons together and fight.

Will I be able to finally put my fears aside and find true happiness?

Fighting To Be Free: A Dark Mafia Romance (Beautifully Brutal Book 3)
by Emma Luna (Author)
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 58 4.7 on Goodreads 88 ratings
FREYA

I was raised to be a prize. Something to be traded for the right price.

I didn't have a choice, but I guess it comes with the territory of being the daughter of a mafia king. I’ve always longed for more, though.

A life without chaos and blackmail. One where I don’t have to worry if my lover will be murdered at the hands of the enemy, and I can just fade into the background.

But when Kian drifts into the picture, I consider abandoning that dream.

He shouldn't like me, and he's never wanted a relationship before, but he makes me feel things I never have. He speaks to my heart in a way only a lover can.

For so long, I’ve fought for normal, but now Kian is fighting for me, and I’m not sure I can say no.

KIAN

She’s everything I never knew I wanted–empathetic, compassionate, and knows what she wants. The complete opposite of someone who has been brought up in a world of crime.

She isn’t hardened or heartless. She’s soft and delicate, but the life I live isn’t one she wants to be part of.

Although she doesn’t like it, she’s no stranger to combat. I've fought for the things I want my entire life, and she'll be no exception.

I’ll make her see she can’t deny me or the chemistry we have. That we are worth fighting for.

Freya Doughty will be mine.

But, if you want more of Kian, you should read it after Trust In Me, but before Fighting To Be Free.

Please note - there is a bit of a cliffhanger in this book, meaning you will need to read this book before you read The Time Is Now.

by Emma Luna (Author)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 46 4.7 on Goodreads 75 ratings
Growing up as the youngest Doughty meant missing out on a normal life.

I didn’t want the life I was dealt, but I also felt I had no choice except to embrace my legacy. My family had targets placed on their backs, simply because of our name and the power we held, so I knew I had to be ready for anything that came my way.

Being sent to boarding school was a way to protect me—and get me away from the very life I didn’t want—but it also brought me something else.

Shane.

My brothers took him in, and I chased away the nightmares that came with his tortured past, ignoring the burning desire I knew was there, because I didn’t want to ruin our fast-found friendship.

Now though? He’s severed the very bond I tried so hard to protect in the most brutal betrayal.

He went from being my best friend to my enemy, and now I want answers.

I was raised to be a liar, a master manipulator.

A honey trap.

My job is to make women crave me, then use them for whatever benefits the Doughty Family.

I've been doing it so long, I thought I'd never know what love really felt like... Until she came back into my life.

McKenna Lowry was my childhood best friend and first love, but I pushed her away and hurt us both.

Now she's back, and she knows all the secrets I've tried to keep hidden.

She's no longer running.

Instead, she's claiming me as hers, the way she's always been mine.

But I can't give my heart to her and my body to others...

Can I?

Together, we have to pull off one final job to destroy our enemies so we can leave this mafia lifestyle behind.

But with everything on the line, can we finally get our happily ever after, or will the lies shatter us in the end?

If I'm going to rule, I'll need a queen.

Side by side, we will reign.

I was raised to be the heir of the Doughty crime family. My entire life was mapped out for me. But at eighteen, I was willing to throw it all away—for her.

Teigan, my angel, my childhood sweetheart, she gave me hope for a life of my choosing.

Until she broke my heart.

For ten years, I've thrown myself into the brutal world I was raised for, vowing never to open my heart to anyone ever again.

Then I found out Teigan had been taken, forced into the seedy underworld I hate.

Used and abused, she's being sold off like cattle. Despite hating her for breaking my heart, I have to save her—even if it means buying her myself.

When we're forced to live together, hiding from our enemies, haunted by the past, it's easy to remember why we fell in love.

Can we battle our demons together and come out stronger?

Or will our fears prevent us from finding our way back to each other?

Emma Luna is a USA Today Bestselling dark romance author from the UK. In a previous life she was a Midwife and a Lecturer, but now she listens to the voices in her head and puts pen to paper to bring their stories to life. In her spare time, when she should be sleeping, she also loves to edit, proofread, and format books for other amazing authors.

Emma’s books are dark, dangerous, and devilishly sexy. She loves writing about strong, feisty, but underestimated women, and the cocky, dirty-mouthed men they bring to their knees.

When Emma isn’t writing, promoting, or editing books she can be found napping, colouring in adult colouring books, and collecting novelty notebooks. She also enjoys coffee and gossiping with her mum, playing or having hugs with her gorgeous nephew, who is the light of her life, and curling up on the sofa to watch a film with Mr Luna. Oh and for those of you that don’t know, Emma is a hardcore Harry Potter fan—Team Ravenclaw!!

Thank you for taking a chance on a crazy Brit and the voices inside her head. That makes you a true LUNAtic now too!
