Trilina Pucci Books in Order (Updated April 2, 2026)

Trilina Pucci writes in distinct lanes rather than one giant reading chain.

The official site currently groups her books into To Die For, The More the Merrier, Touchdown Love, The King Brothers, The Star-Crossed Series, and The Scandalous Series, and Goodreads confirms those as the main series buckets readers actually use to navigate her backlist.

The quick orientation

If you want the easiest way into Trilina Pucci, pick the tone first.

1. Want dark mafia romance: start with Truth
2. Want prep-school drama: start with Filthy Little Pretties
3. Want the rom-com side: start with Tangled in Tinsel
4. Want newer dark rom-com: start with One Killer Night
5. Want a completed duet with one continuous story: start with Just Like Heaven

That approach fits the way her catalog is actually organized on her site and on Goodreads.

The cleanest recommended reading path

For most readers, this is the least confusing order:

1. The More the Merrier
2. Touchdown Love
3. The Scandalous Series
4. The King Brothers
5. The Star-Crossed Series
6. To Die For
7. A Play for Love as an extra novella outside the core in-house series map

That order moves from her lighter, more accessible rom-com work into the darker mafia material, then finishes with the newest horror-tinged romance and side-project novella. It is not a continuity order so much as a best-entry progression.

Rom-com lane

The More the Merrier

This is the holiday why-choose corner of the catalog. The official site treats it as a series, but the currently clear core entry is the original book, with Touchdown Love functioning as a connected spin-off world rather than a direct numbered sequel line.

Tangled in Tinsel (2022): A snowed-in holiday rom-com that established Trilina Pucci’s louder, funnier, high-heat ensemble style and remains the best entry point for her lighter side.

Touchdown Love

Goodreads describes this as a spin-off world from Tangled in Tinsel, so it is best read after that book even though it stands as its own two-book series.

1. Knot So Lucky (2023): A marriage-of-convenience sports rom-com that carries over the outrageous humor and high-energy chemistry of the holiday book into a football-centered setting.
2. Three Ways to Mend a Broken Heart (2024): A vacation-set romantic comedy that follows the same connected world and works best after Knot So Lucky rather than as a standalone first taste.

Prep-school drama lane

The Scandalous Series

This is the elite-school, gossip-heavy branch of the catalog. The official site frames it with “Gossip Girl vibes,” and Goodreads confirms a three-book sequence.

1. Filthy Little Pretties (2020): A friends-to-lovers prep-school romance that opens the series with money, status, competition, and the tone that defines the rest of the trilogy.
2. Vicious Little Snakes (2021): The second book keeps the same privileged-school world but turns the interpersonal drama darker and sharper.
3. Dirty Little Secrets (2021): The trilogy closer leans into hidden motives and fallout, so it works best after the first two rather than as a random entry point.

Mafia lane

The King Brothers

This is the older mafia branch and one of the clearest examples of interconnected standalones in her catalog. The official site labels it dark mafia, and Goodreads lists three primary books.

1. Truth (2018): A mafia romance centered on Dominic King that starts the family line and is the right place to begin this world.
2. Worship (2019): The second King book shifts to a new central pairing while keeping the same dangerous family atmosphere, making it a true interconnected standalone rather than a direct sequel.
3. Depraved (2019): The third book continues the King family’s darker edge and is best saved until last because it lands inside an already established mafia framework.

The Star-Crossed Series

This is a darker, more forbidden mafia duet. Goodreads confirms it as a two-book sequence, and book two is explicitly presented as a continuation of book one.

1. Just Like Heaven (2021): A dark Romeo-and-Juliet-style mafia romance that starts one continuous duet and should be read first without hesitation.
2. Sinning Like Hell (2021): The direct continuation of Just Like Heaven, so this is not optional and should not be read out of order.

Newest dark-romcom lane

To Die For

This is the newest main in-house series on the official site, pitched there as a “90’s slasher vibe” dark rom-com. Goodreads currently shows two books in the sequence.

1. One Killer Night (2025): The opener starts the horror-tinged romantic-comedy line and is the clear first stop if you want her newest core series.
2. Evil is Forever (2026): The second book continues the same series and should follow immediately after One Killer Night.

Extra novella outside the core series map

The Improbable Meet-Cute: Second Chances

This is not one of the main branded series on her own books page, but Goodreads and Amazon both identify A Play for Love as her contribution to this shared novella line.

A Play for Love (2026): A short, lighter second-chance romance novella that works best as an extra after you already know which side of Trilina Pucci you like most.

Best starting point by reader mood

Pick one of these and you will land in the right corner of the catalog.

• Tangled in Tinsel if you want funny, chaotic, high-heat romance
• Filthy Little Pretties if you want school drama and social warfare
• Truth if you want mafia and interconnected standalones
• Just Like Heaven if you want one dark duet with a hard reading order
• One Killer Night if you want the newest branded series

Those starting points line up with how the author separates her catalog by tone on the official site.

Do you need a chronological order?

No. A whole-catalog chronology would not help much here because the books are grouped more clearly by series identity and tone than by one shared timeline. Series publication order is the useful rule.

Latest release status

As of April 2, 2026, the newest clearly confirmed Trilina Pucci books are Evil is Forever in the To Die For series and A Play for Love, a novella in the shared Improbable Meet-Cute: Second Chances project. Her official homepage is still promoting current and upcoming releases, and her events page also shows active 2025–26 appearances, which supports that the catalog is current and ongoing.

FAQ

What is the best Trilina Pucci book to start with?

For most readers, Tangled in Tinsel is the easiest entry because it showcases her comic voice and connects naturally into Touchdown Love.

Which Trilina Pucci books absolutely must be read in order?

The Star-Crossed Series must be read in order, and To Die For should also be read in sequence. Touchdown Love is best read in order too.

Are The King Brothers standalones?

They are best treated as interconnected standalones. Start with Truth, but expect each book to center a different part of the same mafia-family world.

Is Touchdown Love a sequel to Tangled in Tinsel?

Not a direct sequel line, but Goodreads describes it as a spin-off world from Tangled in Tinsel, so reading the holiday book first is the smoother experience.

Final recommendation

If you want one simple answer, read Trilina Pucci like this: Tangled in Tinsel, then the Touchdown Love books, then whichever darker lane appeals most. Go to Truth for mafia, Filthy Little Pretties for prep-school drama, Just Like Heaven for a tighter duet, and One Killer Night for the newest series. That keeps the backlist clear without pretending everything belongs to one timeline.
