Carpino Books in Order

The Carpino books follow a loud, loving Italian American family whose lives keep colliding with federal agents, old enemies, and the kind of trouble that shows up when you least expect it. At the center is a tight circle of siblings and cousins who meddle, tease, and close ranks whenever one of their own is threatened.

In Overflow, grief stricken Gabrielle Carpino is trying to build a quieter life when an FBI raid turns her world upside down. Being handcuffed by Special Agent Jude Ortiz is the last thing she expects, yet his gruff protectiveness and her chaotic family pull him in until watching over Gabby becomes personal.

Beautiful Life shifts to Leigh, a medical professional whose abusive marriage and heartbreaking loss have left her convinced that healing is for other people. Tony Carpino has wanted her for years, and his patience, steadiness, and refusal to look away from her trauma slowly make room for a second chance at love.

In Athica Lane, single dad and former football star Cam Montgomery is drowning in responsibilities, from a volatile ex to a business and a team that depend on him. Paige Carpino is small in stature but fierce in spirit, and her ability to stand up to Cam, his family, and his chaos turns a chance encounter into a full blown romance.

Shorter pieces like Until Avery and Force of Nature expand the world, pairing quieter Carpino relatives with determined outsiders who refuse to let them slip through their fingers. A musician who never dreamed of more and a ruthless executive burned by online dating both find themselves drawn into the family orbit and into unexpected love.

Across the series you can expect big Sunday dinner energy, protective men who fall hard, heroines rebuilding their lives after real hurt, and suspense plots that yank the Carpinos into danger. Each book stands alone, but recurring characters, running jokes, and a strong sense of found family make the series feel like one long, cozy, high stakes saga.
