Juric Crime Family Books in Order

The Juric Crime Family books sit firmly in Rae B Lake's dark mafia lane. If the Bianucci Mafia stories lean into obsession and hidden protection, the Juric books push harder on arranged bonds, family deals, captivity, and the question of what loyalty costs when criminal families control every path forward.

The series starts with Sven's Mark, where a forced marriage creates immediate hostility between hero and heroine. From there, the books widen the family world through titles like Josip's Secret, Kaja's Bet, Luka's Captive, and Zeus's Sinner. The naming alone tells you the emotional temperature. These are not light misunderstandings and cute reversals. These are stories about marks, secrets, wagers, captivity, and vows being broken under pressure.

There is also a wider-universe thread here. Readers familiar with Wings of Diablo MC will notice that the Juric family is part of Lake's larger dark romance ecosystem, which gives the series an extra layer. The mob world does not feel invented for one couple and then discarded. It feels connected, lived in, and capable of sending consequences across series lines.

That matters.

The tone stays intense. The men in these books are powerful and often controlling. The women are not passive, but they are working inside systems designed to box them in. That push between resistance and possession is the series' core engine. If you like dark mafia romance where family politics matter as much as bedroom chemistry, this page is worth your time.

Start with Sven's Mark. It lays the groundwork for the family and shows the kind of emotional pressure the rest of the series keeps building on.
