Book excerpt: When Lorelai promised to be mine, I never would have believed that things would end in her betrayal . . . and me spending time in prison for something I didn’t do. Now I’m out and determined to exact revenge against the woman I’d once loved, only to find out she’d been keeping a secret from me . . . a daughter I never knew I had. A daughter who belonged to me and would now be raised as a Capitani, whether her mother is in the picture, or not. Lorelai is still feisty, stubborn, and rebellious, and after so long without a woman, I greet her with an angry, hate filled kiss. But once I feel her lush curves beneath me, all I want is to claim her once again. I tell myself the craving is temporary, that once I have my fill of her I’ll sever our ties and keep my daughter with me. . . but I’ve underestimated just how much of a hold this woman still has over me. The plan should have been simple, until my daughter is kidnapped and held hostage – my life, for hers. Nobody messes with what is mine. This means war, and I will destroy anyone who dares to threaten my family. Ruthless Enemy is the first book in the Ruthless Mafia series. It is a stand-alone enemies to lovers, second chance mafia romance, complete with an HEA and no cliffhangers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

The book comes with a dust jacket as well as a beautiful design on the hardback underneath. Blackmail always seems like a good idea... until you are cornered by an elven prince. The elven Court of Stone has many spies, and Kenna is one of its most prized ones. Being a half-elf, she is skilled, dangerous, and beautiful. She's also a traitor. Desperately yearning for freedom, she blackmails people for ransom behind the back of the elven prince who holds her leash. But one day, she takes it too far. When she accidentally goes after someone from a neighboring court, she is cornered by its prince. The feared Prince of Shadows gives her an ultimatum: spy for him on her own court or her master will learn of her illegal activities. At the same time, a legendary weapon resurfaces that Kenna has to find for the Prince of Stone. But when things don't go according to plan, he discovers that there is a traitor in their midst and calls in his most trusted spy to root out the hidden enemy. Kenna now has to maneuver between two lethal elven princes, a ruthless spy turned traitor hunter, and a mission to seduce an unwitting member of a third court before a magical dagger is used to kill the King of Elves. All while still trying to blackmail her way to freedom. Death awaits her on all sides should she fail. Will she survive this dangerous game? Or will her head-and her heart-lead her straight to ruination?

Book excerpt: An intergalactic cold war-and some heated passion- from an inventive new voice in futuristic romance. After a stint in an alien prison, Captain Ari Rose wonders why she even bothered to survive. Stripped of her command and banished to her father's scientific expedition to finish a Ph.D. she doesn't want, Ari never planned to languish quietly behind a desk. She wasn't built for it, either. But when pirates commandeer her father's ship, Ari once again becomes a prisoner. As far as pirate leader Cullin is concerned, Ari's past imprisonment puts her dead center in Cullin's sights. If she hasn't been brainwashed and returned as a spy, then he's convinced she must be part of a traitorous alliance endangering billions of lives. Cullin can't afford the desire she fires within him and he'll stop at nothing, including destroying her, to uncover the truth.

Now I’m out and determined to exact revenge against the woman I’d once loved, only to find out she’d been keeping a secret from me . . . a daughter I never knew I had. A daughter who belonged to me and would now be raised as a Capitani, whether her mother is in the picture, or not. Lorelai is still feisty, stubborn, and rebellious, and after so long without a woman, I greet her with an angry, hate filled kiss. But once I feel her lush curves beneath me, all I want is to claim her once again. I tell myself the craving is temporary, that once I have my fill of her I’ll sever our ties and keep my daughter with me. . . but I’ve underestimated just how much of a hold this woman still has over me. The plan should have been simple, until my daughter is kidnapped and held hostage – my life, for hers. Nobody messes with what is mine. This means war, and I will destroy anyone who dares to threaten my family. RUTHLESS REBEL My brother started a war that put me squarely in the enemy’s territory. It was all about finally exacting revenge for our family, but the plan required me to give my false allegiance to a hated Vivenzo. In return for this new alliance, I was gifted Luca’s one and only daughter, Dia, as collateral until we’d both proven our loyalty to one another. The only thing I intended to prove was that the Vivenzo family was meant to suffer and die for killing our father. But first, I had to integrate myself into their world, and Dia was the perfect pawn to make that happen. Sleeping with the enemy’s daughter was never part of the plan, but Dia Vivenzo was an irresistible siren despite us being enemies—and, I later learned, an assassin who had every intention of killing me once I’d given her father all the information he needed to take down my family once and for all. Good thing I planned on killing her first. Both our families intended to wipe out the other, and only one would survive the war. But what will happen when the one woman I should hate the most becomes the one I can’t live without? RUTHLESS RIVAL As the only daughter in a Mafia family, I always knew the possibility existed that I’d be part of an arranged marriage, but I never expected to be given to a man I hated by his name alone. Kai Vivenzo was our families greatest rival, a man I’d been taught to despise, and if he expected me to be a passive and dutiful wife, he was in for a huge surprise. All I wanted was freedom from this ruthless life I’d been born into, even if that meant severing all ties with my family. I was stubborn and strong-willed, but what I didn’t anticipate was Kai’s power of seduction. Even when I chose to escape this sham of a marriage and ran off in the middle of the night to start a new life for myself, he chased me and found me, breaking down my resistance and making me his, again and again. The next morning, I woke to a simple note from him: Until the next time I catch you. What ensued was a steamy, delicious game of cat and mouse . . . until the day I was abducted, and not by Kai, but his enemy who planned to use me in his own plan of revenge against my fiancé. I just hoped I was worth more to Kai alive, than dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schwab's work is five-part analysis of US policy and strategy in the Persian Gulf from 1990-2003. He begins the work by analyzing the prominence of the Persian Gulf in US global strategic thinking during the last decade of the Cold War. By that time, gulf oil had secured a paramount place in the minds of the Reagan and Bush administrations. Part two dissects the relationship that individuals and regional governments in the Persian Gulf shared with the US. Here, Schwab also examines US perceptions of those entities and demonstrates how they helped shape the policies of the US and define the status of those nations in the eyes of US policymakers. When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, the paradigm shifted dramatically. Part three examines US decision-making in the period immediately after that invasion. Schwab demonstrates that while forging a broad coalition to turn back Iraq was a significant diplomatic achievement, the international determination that defined the conflict in 1990-1991 eroded and gave way to a cumbersome policy of containment. That policy ultimately resulted in the dissolution of the coalition forged by the first Bush administration and burdened his successors as they struggled to achieve the longstanding goal of creating stability throughout the region. Part four explores the efforts of the Clinton and second Bush administrations in the Gulf. Saddam was one of the primary concerns of the Clinton administration, but so too were al-Qaeda, North Korea, China, and especially Yugoslavia. Indeed, his was the first administration to truly attempt to deal with these kinds of problems in a post-Cold War world. Despite their differences, there was a tremendous amount of continuity in the policies pursued by Clinton and George W. Bush. September 11 changed that, however, as Schwab chronicles in part five. In that section he explores how the current administration's adoption of a more proactive strategy of retaliation and preventative war has given rise to a new national security regime increasingly designed to fight asymmetric war while eliminating perceived threats to our national security and interests.
