It was my duty, carved in stone and written in my blood that one day my virtue would be exchanged for an alliance. And now, that day has come.
Gian Silvestro, heir to the Silvestro empire, will accept me as his wife and seal my fate with a kiss that holds a thousand promises. But to him, our vows only mean one thing…

All the way from Cape Town, South Africa, Bella J lives for the days when she’s able to retreat to her writer’s cave where she can get lost in her little pretend world of romance, love, and insanely hot bad boys.
Bella J is a Hybrid Author with both Self-Published and Traditional Published work. Even though her novels range from drama, to comedy, to suspense, it’s the dark, twisted side of romance she loves the most.
Neither one of them want to get married and to top it off they don’t want to get married to the other, but they have no choice in the matter. Family duty and honor is above what they want.

Daniela Faye Moretti has to play the part of the loving, happy, doting wife if she was to protect the one person in her life that she loved more than anything. Her younger sister would never know what Daniela put on the line for her.
This is a story of an arranged married between two the most powerful mafia families in New York and in order to strengthen their families more, and for Emilio Moretti to gain more power, he chose the eldest son of the Silvestro family for his daughter. Their story is not a story of love but of despise and power changes. There’s a shadow in the background waiting for an opportunity to make a move that could destroy these two, just as they are beginning to find a way to have a marriage and respect each other. This story is dark, deep and has some unexpected challenges. The characters are strong, dangerous and unpredictable. I enjoyed the book and I give this story a 5-star review as I look forward to more of story.

About Monique Growing up in New York City, I used to walk the hot pavements in the melting heat of the long summers, and dream. Uptown to downtown, eastside to the westside, and underground to catch a subway racing out into the boroughs.
During my wanderings, my magic pencil spun out fantasies full of romance, with first meetings, heartbreaks, and reunions. Sometimes my boy crush (unrequited, of course) starred as the hero.
I grew up, and after a stint in art school, became a lawyer ‘cuz a woman’s got to make a living. I came from parents who fled to France as refugees, and as an attorney, I dedicated my work to helping survivors of trauma and persecution.
I believe in them. In their grit, in their determination to hold on, to pull through and, somehow, someway, to keep themselves intact, body and soul. Perhaps that is why I am drawn to writing stories of men and women who live through heart-rending pain, desperate yearnings and, ultimately, reach a place of redemption.
For a long time, I fought the urge to veer off the expected, safe path until I couldn’t go on unless I took a chance and made a change. I began to write, stopped, and began again. Finally, I gave in and here I am.
I fell in love with her in high school and I knew then that she would be mine.
But life interfered. She moved halfway across the country and I went to college.
I knew she moved back home. I knew that her mother had died.
But I did nothing.
I was ashamed. I had walked away from her, thinking it was best for both of us. Now, thirteen years later, I can’t leave her alone anymore. I need her, but convincing her that we can still be together is going to be difficult. I hurt her bad when I left, but that’s just the beginning of our problems.
Anna
I fell in love with him under the stars. He was my savior when everything in my life was crumbling. But then he was gone and I was all alone again.
Thirteen years later, he’s back and he wants me. But I’m too angry. The only reason I’m even speaking to him is he helped me get a job…with his brother. Now I’ve been caught up in some kind of game he and Eric have going, and I’m stuck with him.
I hate him. But I still love him.
It would be so easy to fall back in love with the man he is now. Deep down, he’s the same person, just dressed fancier. But that’s the crux of our problem. We’re different people than we were in high school.
I just can’t see this working, and if we keep trying to go down this road, it’ll only end in heartache.
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
I was left for dead. I had a plan the whole time, I just needed to execute it precisely. Silla wasn’t part of my plan but I couldn’t leave her on her own. Finding out who she was was a shock to me. Yet, I liked the mouthy girl and she would come in handy. Now we’re going to take over the club. One member at a time.
I take a deep breath before standing and glancing around. It feels like everything moves in slow motion. The bullets fly but I can’t hear a damn thing. One bullet rips through my side as I spin around to fire at whoever it was that shot me. Our eyes lock and just as I’m about to pull the trigger, he fires first. Each bullet hits me, knocking the air from my lungs. Pain radiates through my body as I slowly fall to the floor. The last person I see…is him.

Reprobation Are you one of the elect?
Dr. Helen Hope is a lecturer in eschatology – the study of death, judgement, and the destiny of humankind. She is also a Calvinist nun, her life devoted to atoning for a secret crime.
When a body is found crucified on a Liverpool beach, she forms an unlikely alliance with suspect Mikko Kristensen, lead guitarist in death metal band Total Depravity. Together, they go on the trail of a rogue geneticist who they believe holds the key – not just to the murder, but to something much darker.
Also on the trail is cynical Scouse detective Darren Swift. In his first murder case, he must confront his own lack of faith as a series of horrific crimes drag the city of two cathedrals to the gates of hell.
Science meets religious belief in this gripping murder mystery. Purchase Link: mybook.to/reprobation
Consuming Fire What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen…
Liverpool is in the grip of an intense heatwave, and strange things are happening.
A woman dies in an apparent case of Spontaneous Human Combustion; a truck explodes on the dock road; the charred corpses of pets litter the city; forest fires ravage the pinewoods…and there are birds everywhere, silent flocks drawing in ominously.
Detective Inspector Darren Swift thinks there are connections, and his investigation delves into the worlds of football, nightclubs and organised crime. But is he imagining things?
Dr. Helen Hope doesn’t think so. And she believes the key lies in a mysterious seventeenth-century occult book which has gone missing from Liverpool Library.
In the blistering sequel to Reprobation, DI Swift is forced to confront some inconvenient ghosts from his past, as a terrifying shadow lies over his city’s reality….
A professor of psychoacoustics is found dead in his office. It appears to be a heart attack, until a second acoustician dies a few days later in similar circumstances.
Meanwhile, there’s an outbreak of mysterious illnesses on a council estate, and outbursts of unexplained violence in a city centre nightclub. Not to mention strange noises coming from the tunnels underneath Liverpool. Can it really be a coincidence that death metal band Total Depravity are back in the city, waging their own form of sonic warfare?
Detective Inspector Darren Swift is convinced there are connections. Still grieving his fiancé’s death and sworn to revenge, he is thrown back into action on the trail of a murderer with a terrifying and undetectable weapon.
But this case cannot be solved using conventional detective work, and D.I. Swift will need to put the rulebook aside and seek the occult expertise of Dr. Helen Hope and her unlikely sidekick, guitarist Mikko Kristensen. Purchase Link – mybook.to/sound

My Reviews for Reprobation, Consuming Fire, and Sound:
REPROBATION: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5
An interesting read for sure! Religion, suspense, Death Metal, and murder all in one book.

Detective Darren Swift has just been promoted to detective and this is his first big case. He is the detective investigating the murder and he will question his abilities to solve the case as well as the religious meanings behind the murders. He had a rough time in his last position and he isn’t sure yet of how it’s going to be in this new position.
I really enjoyed this book and was drawn into the story quickly. I found the story to be suspenseful, disturbing and interesting. The twists and turns of this story kept me turning the pages. I give this book a 4.5 star review and highly recommend it to anyone likes suspense and thrillers. I kind of hope there is another story with these characters. I’d like to know what happens with Helen, Mikko, and Darren.
CONSUMING FIRE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5-stars
Wow! This was quite the story. A story of death, destruction, and evil that left me wanting so much more. Liverpool is going through a dangerous heat wave and there are strange incidents happening as well. Detective Inspector Darren Swift is working diligently to find out what is causing the apparent cases of spontaneous combustion, and he will contact his friend Helen, who was a nun until recently.
Dr. Helen Hope was a Calvinist nun until a recent situation had her rethinking her future. She is now working as a Lecturer at the University and enjoys research on religious matter. After DI Swift calls her for help on his new case, she finds herself immersed in another case where her religious knowledge and research lead to the unthinkable and bizarre.
Helen and DI Swift were first introduced to each other in Catherine Fearns first book Reprobation. DI Swift worked with Helen in that case as well. These two have a tendency to work on their own to solve a case as well as with each other. They both have a mindset of wanting to find the truth by and needing to find the truth. They work well together, and they have become close friends.
Consuming Fire is Catherine Fearns second published book and it’s just as good as her first. It is very well written, and it pulled me in from the very beginning of the book and kept my attention throughout the entire story. I will say that I was crushed at the end. I really need more of this story and the conclusion.
I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to anyone who likes police procedural, suspense and the thrill of figuring out who the criminal is, having the pieces of the puzzle fall into place to help the characters find their answers and close a case. In my opinion, this was another great story by Catherine Fearns and I can’t wait to read more.
SOUND: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5-stars
I devoured this book. It pulled me in from the first page and wouldn’t let me go until the end.
I love Ms. Fearns books and find that they make me think and ponder on the subjects and the content of her books. While they are centered around religion they are not books about religion, but about the world around us and how most people ignore what is around them. I found the quote below to be true and eye opening.
“Nowadays we are afraid of silence. We need the constant buzz of television, music, chatter. But I say to you today, do not be afraid of silence, for it is only when we are silent that we can be close to God. Is it any wonder that deaf children were once thought of as angels? For their ears are unsullied by the corrupt sounds of this Earth?”
A story of a detective searching for something to make him feel alive again, a retired nun who teaches theology at a local college, and her love for metal music, and a Swedish metal band that all seem to somehow come together to solve such terrible crimes. They are each from such different worlds, yet they all work so well together.
I really enjoyed reading this book and give it a 5-star review. I highly recommend it to readers who are looking for a story that’s a bit different, but enjoy police procedural, crime, and psychological thrillers. If you are interested in any of these genres, then you really should pick up Sound by Catherine Fearns, but you need to read Reprobation and Consuming Fire first.
The Making Of A KING is #FREE! Lucas Her first mistake was she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Her second mistake was she didn’t listen. I warned her. I told her I was going to take everything from her. I did. Things she could only give once. All of it was mine. She belonged to me the instant I saw her. She was a good girl. Too bad I was going to ruin her. This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a story about a boy who made himself king, and his obsession.
He sold his soul to the devil but then he found his Angel in the same day.
Dex “Grim” is now the president of the Tonopah Chapter of the RBMC and he is a dangerous man. All of his MC brothers are dangerous, but he has a little bit more power than they do. When he walks into the Blacktop Bar with his friend and brother Bodie, he is not prepared to see the eyes of his Angel. She’s eighteen years older now, but he would know those eyes no matter what.
Trisha has dreamt of the man that she saw on the side of the road covered in blood since she was ten years old. The man that just walked into the bar where bar tends is sexy and she knows without a doubt that he’s her man. She’s never forgotten him and now that he’s in the same place as her, she’s not sure what to do. She’s had enough trouble in her life to keep her from wanting to add more with the president of an MC. Her stepbrother has proved to her that bikers are not good men, at least not the ones he hangs around with.
This story is full of danger, action, and tragedy that could keep Grim and Trisha from finally finding their way to each other, but determination and circumstances could help with that. The Scorpions MC is a rival MC that has been a thorn in the RBMC’s side in more than one chapter and the danger lurking behind them is just as evil and will be dealt with by the RBMC in the only way they can be dealt with, the Reapers will. I loved this story, and the characters are just as good in this chapter as they are in the other chapters of the RBMC. If you’re a fan of MC books, and are looking for some really good MC reads, the RBMC is a heck of a ride! I give Devil’s Ride a 5-star review and look forward to more RBMC bikers to read.
A lonely social worker. A biker behind bars. Can their red-hot passion set them free?
What if your first love was your one true love? Eight years ago, Puck broke Ava’s heart. She picked up the pieces, patched them together, and kept going. Yet she never forgot him. When Puck sauntered through her office door at work, she was shocked to find a brawny, tatted-up biker dressed in an orange jumpsuit with the word INMATE stamped on the back.
What if you rediscovered the passion you carelessly threw away in your youth? For Puck, the only good thing about his trip to the jailhouse social worker’s office was finding Ava again. All grown up, she looked luscious, and he bet she tasted even better.
Breaking up seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but no other woman could replace Ava. Fate brought them together again and Puck wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. Ava was his property and he’d bring her to heel—no matter what it took. If that included blackmail, so be it. A biker never won by playing fair.
But what happens in jail doesn’t always stay in jail, and dark forces conspire to divert destiny and tear these lovers apart. Will their love survive a second trial?
