E.N. Austins is a dark mafia romance author with a small but fast-growing catalog. Right now, the reading-order question is less about a giant connected universe and more about keeping two clean shelves separate: Corsini Legacy and The Sicilians.

Public listings also show a couple of standalone-style mafia titles outside those series, but the series books are the clearest place to start.

The simple answer
If you want the safest entry point, start with Bloody Crown. It opens the longer completed arc that is easiest to follow from beginning to end. If you want the newer branch instead, start with A Night With The Enemy, but know that The Sicilians is only two books deep in current public listings.
Read these first: the fully visible series
Corsini Legacy
This is the cleanest shelf in the catalog because all three books are clearly indexed as one series and can be read straight through without guesswork.
- Bloody Crown (2025): The series opener sets up the Corsini world with an enemies-to-lovers mafia frame and a heroine pulled into power, danger, and possession from the start. It is the best first book for most readers because it begins the longer complete sequence rather than dropping you into a newer branch.
- Fractured Crown (2025): A hidden-heiress setup pushes the series deeper into revenge and family fallout, with a heroine confronting the man tied to the destruction of her past. This is where the trilogy clearly shifts from simple attraction-and-danger into legacy, survival, and identity.
- False Crown (2025): The third book turns on betrayal, performance, and forbidden loyalty, with a heroine carrying secrets that threaten both the romance and the power structure around it. It works best as the trilogy capstone because it plays like the point where deception finally catches up with everyone.
Best order: read Corsini Legacy exactly in publication order from book 1 to book 3. That is also the clearest emotional build, because each book keeps the same mafia tone while varying the relationship hook.
The Sicilians
This is the newer shelf. It is already easy to follow, but it is not as complete-looking as Corsini Legacy yet, so I would treat it as the “read next” lane rather than the default first stop.
- A Night With The Enemy (2025): An arranged-marriage mafia setup opens the series and gives E.N. Austins a very direct first entry into the Sicilians line. Because it is book one, it is the right place to begin if this is the branch you want.
- The Enemy’s Cage (2026): The follow-up shifts into second-chance tension and protection-under-lockdown, with an earlier encounter resurfacing after an assassination attempt puts the hero under guard. Read it only after A Night With The Enemy, because Fantastic Fiction explicitly lists it as Sicilians #2.
Best order: publication order only. With only two books publicly indexed so far, there is no reason to complicate this shelf.
The books that sit outside the two main shelves
This is where the bibliography gets a little messier. Public databases do not present these titles as neatly as the two series above, but they are still clearly attributable to E.N. Austins.
- Auctioned At Christmas (2025): A Christmas-themed dark mafia romance built around being gambled away and sold to a powerful older mafia boss. Because it is not indexed as part of Corsini Legacy or The Sicilians in the sources I found, it is safest to treat it as a standalone holiday-side read.
- THE DON’S Deadly Obsession (2026): A doctor is forced into close contact with the man tied to her brother’s death, turning vengeance into obsession and enemies-to-lovers tension. Current public listings treat it as a separate title rather than a numbered sequel, so for now it reads most safely as a standalone.
Recommended reading paths
Path A: the clearest finished run
Start with Corsini Legacy if you want the most stable reading order now.
- Bloody Crown
- Fractured Crown
- False Crown
That gives you the best “series first” experience because the whole trilogy is already visible in public databases and easy to verify.
Path B: the newer branch
Choose The Sicilians if you want arranged marriage and then a tighter, more contained follow-up.
- A Night With The Enemy
- The Enemy’s Cage
This path is shorter, newer, and more obviously still expanding.
Path C: a fuller current catalog sweep
If you want everything currently verifiable in a practical order, I would read:
- Bloody Crown
- Fractured Crown
- False Crown
- A Night With The Enemy
- The Enemy’s Cage
- Auctioned At Christmas
- THE DON’S Deadly Obsession
That keeps the numbered series intact first, then moves to the standalones.
What order matters most here
Do not mix Corsini Legacy and The Sicilians as though they are one continuous mafia universe. The available listings present them as separate series, and nothing I found reliably showed a single master continuity tying them together.
Also, because E.N. Austins’s catalog is still small and public indexing is still catching up, I would trust numbered series order first and treat the extra titles as optional until a fuller official reading-order page becomes available.
Final recommendation
Start with Bloody Crown. Finish Corsini Legacy first. Then move to A Night With The Enemy and The Enemy’s Cage. After that, pick up Auctioned At Christmas or THE DON’S Deadly Obsession as standalones when you want more of the same dark mafia mood without needing another numbered arc.
