Review
A gripping exciting read. ― Armadillo Magazine
If you’ve read Arcadia Awakens, you’re in for a treat in Arcadia Burns – where the stakes (and the body count) have never been higher, the action scenes any bloodier, nor the romance never hotter. ―
Birth of a New With (American Blog)I really enjoyed Arcadia Awakens, and Arcadia Burns didn’t disappoint either! The final instalment of the trilogy cannot arrive soon enough! ― Bookapoet

Book Description
Following the brutal deaths of her sister and aunt, Rosa Alcantara has become what she never thought possible: the very rich and very powerful head of the Alcantara clan. Saddled with this immense responsibility, Rosa must now conduct all business matters—legitimate and not—while negotiating among the greedy, bloodthirsty members of her own family. Not to mention convincing everyone that her blossoming relationship with enemy Alessandro Carnevare won’t put the family business in danger.
But loving Alessandro comes at a price. As Rosa continues to fall for him, she discovers the dark secrets of his family’s dealings and how they intersect with her own painful past. She wants to believe she can trust Alessandro, but they’re so different: Alcantara and Carnevare, snake and panther. How can she love someone whose family wants her dead?
When Rosa and Alessandro uncover an ancient conspiracy intent on destroying both clans, they will do anything to stop it. Racing to put the pieces together, evading their relatives’ murderous feud, and learning what it means to control the most influential families in all of Sicily—the two teens must risk everything to love each other and survive.
