Luca Hale has spent his entire life pretending. Pretending he enjoys the parties. Pretending he doesn't care what people think. Pretending he isn't breaking under the weight of being exactly who everyone needs him to be. At nineteen-almost twenty-Luca is dragged from London into the dangerous, glittering world of the Italian mafia when his single mother marries Matteo De Santis, one of the most powerful men in Italy. Overnight, Luca gains five stepbrothers who don't trust him, an extended family who despises him, and a reputation he never asked for. Behind the bad-boy persona and sharp smile lies a secret identity, a hidden underground group fighting quietly for people like him. No one knows who he really is-until he falls for the one person his new family has forbidden him from ever touching. Adrian Russo was supposed to be an enemy. Instead, he becomes Luca's freedom. Green Eyes, Black Suits is a story about chosen family, queer love, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to stop performing happiness-and start living it.

At twenty years old, Luca Moretti lives fast, loud, and reckless-street races at midnight, fists bruised by dawn, emotions buried so deep they might as well be dead. He doesn't believe in family, loyalty, or second chances. All he believes in is speed, violence, and never letting anyone see him bleed. Then his mother remarries. His new stepfather is a powerful mafia figure. His new stepbrothers are criminals raised on blood and hierarchy-three older, one younger-and none of them trust Luca. Worse, they start to see themselves in him. What no one knows is that Luca already belongs to a gang of his own. A rival racer stalks him from the shadows, a war brews beneath the city, and every secret Luca hides pulls him closer to a collision that could destroy them all. Told in Luca's raw, unfiltered voice, Blood in the Rearview is a dark, gritty story about anger passed down like inheritance, brotherhood forged in violence, and a boy who would rather burn than admit he feels anything at all.
