Want to know what's coming next?
I know I've been a little quiet lately, but I'm planning on coming back with a bang next year! In addition to creating special editions of my existing books, I'm also planning to start writing in a completely new genre: mafia romance! These stories will be "mafia lite," which means that while there will most definitely be violence and vigilante justice, it's NEVER going to be between the main characters. The heroes will still be respectful toward their women and treat them like royalty. Just, you know, they'll be ruthless mafia men with everyone else. 😂
All new releases will launch as special editions on Kickstarter first, and regular editions will be released on retail platforms once the Kickstarter pledges have been fulfilled. Take a look below to see what I've got coming up next!
DeVille Records Omnibus
Late Pledges Active on Kickstarter!
Expected Delivery: February 2026
I couldn't let the DeVille Records series end without giving it an epic send-off! So, I decided to create this gorgeous special edition omnibus, plus special editions of the individual books. And, as an added bonus, there's a special edition of Mistletoe & Holly being offered in this campaign too...not to mention a ton of cool merch!
Dirty Stack
Wicked Games Prequel Novella
Expected KS Launch: Feb. 2026
Follow the Kickstarter
Prelaunch Page
This prequel novella for the Wicked Games series is going to set up the whole mafia world and lead into the first book in the series. This story is an age gap father figure's best friend romance about a mafia don's niece and his most trusted capo...with some forced proximity thrown in to spice things up!
Drawing Dead
Wicked Games #1
Expected KS Launch: July 2026
Follow the Kickstarter
Prelaunch Page
When I tell you I am SO excited to get started on this story, I mean it! Genesis and Mario's story is where the entire idea for the series started, and in true Carmen fashion, it's going to absolutely break your heart before putting it back together again.
Drawing Dead is a second chance mafia romance between former high school sweethearts with some MAJOR hurt/comfort and found family elements.
Dead Blind
Wicked Games #2
Expected KS Launch: Feb. 2027

I'm going to keep the details for this story under wraps for now because I don't want to jinx my mojo...but I promise you, it's going to be amazing!!! All I'll tell you for now is it's about Mario's younger sister, and she ends up paying a steep price for a war her family never expected to start.
