About THE STAY:
A cocky college drop-out. A tattooed sinner. Will they seize paradise or will they let it fall through their fingers?
Ash can’t believe the mess he’s in. Kicked out of college, disowned by his parents and facing extended prison time for a misunderstanding over his uncle’s car. It’s a rude awakening Ash could have done without. Locked up and far from home. He puts his faith in the notorious Black Coyotes MC, praying they will be able to help, while those around him doubt and ridicule him for it. Until Ash is paired up with a new cellmate and he realizes his stay may not be the torture he had previously envisioned. Nix is a sinner. He was born a sinner, he will die a sinner. He is comfortable with knowing no one would mourn him when that day comes. He’d run away from the religious cult that he’d been raised in, and had been a rebel without a cause since. But he’s learning he couldn’t out-run a particular need within him. The itch that never got scratched, but was begging for relief. He kept moving, no place and no one stuck, until the law caught up with him, locked him up and forced him to stay in one place to face the truth. Could Nix’s cocky new cellmate bring solace? Would Nix let himself fall into temptation or would he keep fighting for deliverance?
Some men make the ultimate sacrifice. During my tour in Afghanistan, I was fully prepared to be one of them. That is, until the packages started arriving. Letters from my buddy’s sister, full of tethers to the lives we left behind. Little did she know she kept me going, even when I started to lose hope. Now, my business and my club keep me sane. But the horrors of war never stay on the battleground. The moment I hear her whisper my name, I know. She’s drowning in the chaos that follows every soldier home from war. And there’s no one to help her fight her newfound demons. No one, that is, but me.
Naomi Porter, the author of the popular Knight’s Legion MC series, is raising the stakes and entering the darkness with her new dark MC romance, Hells Bells. You won’t want to miss this book!
His name is Rocky Jones.
Dark, disturbingly delicious, and domineering, his piercing gray eyes tempt and disarm. But he doesn’t affect me anymore—well, maybe a little.
So what if he’s the new president of Hell’s Bells MC? He disappeared without a word, leaving me brokenhearted. I don’t care that he’s back to rule our town and exact his revenge against the notorious Knight’s Legion MC.
Even if I did want Rocky with every cell in my body, it’s far too late for us. He betrayed our love. And so have I. When the club’s vice president, Vegas, offered me protection and a job, I accepted. Now that Rocky has returned, Vegas wants me for himself.
With Vegas as his number one enemy and the Knights as his very unlikely allies, none of us know what to expect from Rocky next. Will I be the future queen of the Hell’s Bells MC? Only if he doesn’t burn it to the ground.
**Rocky Jones (RJ) appeared in Buff’s Reign, book 3 of the Knight’s Legion MC, North Dakota series.

Until it does.
I’ll do whatever it takes to save this. Because you can’t have her…she’s MINE!
From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith series
Two hundred feet below an old bridge, a teenage girl lies battered and bruised. Barely alive, she knows she’s not going to make it.
Two days later, another teenager is found in almost exactly the same spot. Suicide. That’s what the papers are saying.
But when a third victim of the now legendary viaduct turns up, Detective Sergeant Jason Smith doesn’t buy it. Something else is happening here – something much darker.
As Smith and the team start asking questions, the investigation takes a turn for the worse when things get much closer to home.
Smith’s adopted daughter goes missing, and when he finds out she was last seen close to this sinister viaduct, he fears the worst.
Smith knows he’s running out of time.
Will he get to the truth before the viaduct lures its next victim to their death?

Stewart Giles – Author Bio
After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live.
In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later.
3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series.
The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.
After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor.
The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.

Motorcycles Mobsters & Mayhem is a popular book event in Houston, and Jen’s been looking forward to it all year. After a global pandemic, a relentless cyber stalker, and yet another failed relationship, this trip is exactly what she needs. Friends, drinks, excited readers, and most of all, a week of peace and quiet before everyone arrives.
But peace and quiet prove to be as elusive as true love when one minor accident puts her on a collision course with him.
Cash “Rage” Hudson would rather be anywhere but Houston this weekend, but his little sister’s getting married, and he’s giving her away. As Vice President of the Satan’s Descendant’s MC, he’s always been the black sheep of his conservative family, and he knows this trip is going to be a nightmare.
Running into the feisty romance author is a welcome distraction, but she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length. Then her cyber stalker crashes the event, and Rage is the only thing standing between Jen and a crazed keyboard warrior on a mission to destroy her.

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not
get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.
But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated. Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the
matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.
Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.
Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice … and even that may not be enough.
When Viviana Spataro’s best friend was murdered, revenge became her number one focus and ten years later, her mission for vengeance is almost complete. The only obstacle standing in her way is the son of the man she wants to destroy, the sexy and lethal, Nazario Vaccaro. Fans of dark romances will devour Deadly Intentions by Anise Storm, a sexy enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance.
Viviana Spataro had dreams and ambitions until the murder of her best friend in a New York City alley changed everything. Overcome with grief, her dreams soon changed. Instead of wanting to heal others as a doctor, she now wants to annihilate the one person responsible.
Ten years later, she finally has her chance. As a mistress to one of the most notorious Mafia Dons in Italy, Stefano’s days are now numbered. Her mission of vengeance is almost complete, or it will be once she can get past the only thing standing in her way. That obstacle is her attraction to the sexy, and equally as lethal, son of the man she’s determined to destroy.
Nazario Vaccaro is well aware of his father’s sins, and he’s hellbent on exacting payback of his own. Viviana doesn’t know the levels of depravity his father is capable of so she has no idea the real danger she is in. He does, and he is determined to protect her, even from herself.
Will he be able to seduce her into heeding his warning as he prepares to take his rightful place upon his father’s throne? Or, will she become collateral damage in a deadly game of betrayal, sex, and secrets?
My mind was stronger than my flesh and bones. I let those men hurt me in so many unimaginable ways, but I knew they did it with love even during those times when there was no mercy shown. It was never something I’d begged for, and it wouldn’t have been given even if I had. No amount of physical or psychological pain mattered when thinking about Stefano’s miserable life being cut short at my hands. It actually got me off in ways I never knew I could. Now, that motivation was gone, but like father, like son. Nazario had robbed me of my destiny and stolen my future. One day, I’d steal his life and we’d finally be even.
I knew he was distrustful of me. No matter how many times we fucked, his suspicions never waned. I was like a damn machine. I moaned, cried, and came on command, so he’d never be the wiser. All of that was a front, though. When alone with my thoughts like I was now, there was a vulnerability I despised, yet couldn’t ever completely shake. The last two weeks had been spent in a daze. The days blurred together, and I found myself lacking a reason to live any longer.
“Why are you keeping me here?” I asked aloud to myself.
I knew Nazario didn’t love me. The only things that man could love were money, power, violence, and the thrill of the chase. It was all good because the only things I lived for were vengeance and sex, and with the former mostly done, I could only cling to the latter. At least, Nazario’s touch made me come, without having to think of other men. Damn, the things that man did to my body. My hands moved to my robe and I cupped my breasts through the silk material.
“You’re fucking mine now,” he’d told me hours after his father’s murder.
“Am I?” I’d asked, and he’d spent the next several hours bringing me to so many orgasms that I’d forgotten what I had even wanted to know.
Tonight, he seemed a bit possessive, too. I knew it was more for the crowd than anything else. He needed everyone to recognize him as the man in charge; and his father’s mistress being his was like the icing on the cake. I loved that dominant side of him. He exuded power, and now he had an unlimited amount of it. What would he do to me now? Would he drop me off and leave without so much as a damn word? I rolled my eyes. I couldn’t just stay in this fucking fortress day and night, playing the dutiful wife. I needed to get out of here. Some fresh air would be nice. I grabbed my phone just in case I got lost on this massive estate, and I headed outside. I started to walk through the gardens. Stefano had told me once his first wife loved flowers. He’d also told me how painful they were to see each and every day after she was violently murdered.
“You never told me you’d arranged the entire thing,” I muttered as I walked along the stone pathway. It was dark, so the type of plants and foliage were hard to identify. I’d taken this same walk many times in the light and I could understand why he would want to hold on to something so beautiful.
I also remembered the things Nazario had told me, including how Donna had died. God, how I wanted to drive a stake through his cold, cold heart. I almost had my fondest wish come true. My blade was sharpened and already coated in his blood. If I would’ve bypassed tormenting him and just fucking did it, this would’ve been over.
“Aren’t we done here?” I’d asked Nazario that day.
He’d smirked. “We’ll never be done, and if I’m wrong, you won’t be able to survive without me?”
I took that as a challenge, and it was now the only motivation I had to even wake up in the morning. As easy as it was to imagine Stefano’s demise, his son was a harder task because all my body needed was his touch. He set me aflame like no one else ever had, including my friends in Sicily. This had to be fate’s way of sticking up its middle finger at me.
I tightened my robe around me and continued to walk. As the night sky grew even blacker, the only thing illuminating it was the lightning off in the distance. There were barely any stars above this wasteland, and that realization made me smile. It stayed on my face until a loud boom of thunder overhead made me jump. God, I hated storms and they seemed to be a lot more frequent nowadays. I stopped and turned to see how far I had walked away from the house and it seemed to be a lot farther than I had thought.
My gaze then scanned the horizon. There was nowhere to go if the skies opened up beside… My eyes zeroed in on the mausoleum where Stefano and others in the Vaccaro family lay at rest. It was mere feet away from me, while the house was a good half of mile or more. Another loud rumble made my decision for me. Hurrying over to the large burial place, I managed to get the door open just before the skies opened up.
Once inside, I shuddered at how dark it was. I slapped my hand against the cold stone until I located the light. The bulb flickered once or twice when I turned it on, and I decided to light the candles near the tombs in case the electricity went out. I grabbed the book of matches and inhaled the sulfur smell as I lit one and proceeded to move up and down the walls, lighting the wicks in each candle. When done, I held the flame in front of my face.
Donna’s funeral flashed in my head. It had been so beautiful, but tragic at the same time. When I’d held up the flame that fateful day and lit a candle for her, I had decided then and there that I would make sure all those responsible for her demise would pay. I later learned the one with a death sentence was none other than a dangerous and feared man. I wasn’t afraid to die. I was only afraid of one thing and that was…
My eyes flew open. No, I wouldn’t allow that to happen. I couldn’t. I would never live a normal life again, because the man in the farthest tomb from me had made that impossible. I ignored the loud rumbling and scary flashes of light right outside of this building and moved down to where Stefano lay. His body was there, but his soul was in hell, where he belonged.
“Are you suffering,” I asked him as I traced the letters of his name.
God, how I hoped he was. I needed to believe that even if I didn’t believe anything else. I covered the match with my hand, extinguishing the flame. The slight burn was barely felt. I tossed the stick onto the floor and moved to the stone casket, which would one day house Nazario’s body. I couldn’t take out the father, but maybe I’d fare better with his son.

MY REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 OUT OF 5
Viviana Sparto is shy, quiet, and keeps to herself, but her best friend is just the opposite. She has her life all planned out and is looking forward to her night on the town in New York City doing a historical bus tour at night. When her best friend wants her to go to a party, she declines. That’s not her scene, but her best friend Donna is a party girl and excited for a night to remember. Unfortunately, it is a night to remember, not for Donna, but for Viviana. This one night changes her life forever and her path in life as well.
Nazario Vaccao is the son of a Mafia Don in Italy and a man that has a vengeance to rid the world of his father. A dark, depraved man that has always hated his son. It may take years, but Nazario will discover the reason for the way his father treated him. He’ll also get the vengeance he’s wanted, but it is rushed due to Viviana being in the picture and rushing the job.
I really liked this story. It’s dark, depraved, twisted, and such a great read. Viviana is a determined woman that has changed everything about herself and is now looking for revenge and she’s trained with some of the best to be sure she will survive and get the revenge she wants. She may have been broken but now she’s reborn and lethal. Nazario is on the sidelines watching and waiting for his chance to take the place of his father. He realizes that he not only wants to be Don, but he also wants everything of his father’s including the lethal beauty that is acting like she’s happy with the Don. This book is dark and very twisted, but I loved it. I love the characters and I love how Viviana is reborn to be a woman that is to be feared and taken very seriously. I give this book a 5-star review.
She was taken from us when we were younger and neither of us thought we’d ever see her again. Imagine our surprise when she shows up at the same university we both attend.
She’s finally ours.
The Brotherhood of Darkness has a different plan and they expect our loyalty. We’re destined to become one with the society, our family legacies at stake. But we’re obsessed, determined to do anything to have her.
Iris Kensington means everything.
We’re desperate to finally claim her…but at what price?
In the end, one will have to pay the ultimate sacrifice.
Enjoy this sneak peek!
“It was either her or you. I knew you’d be fine, and she deserves better,” I mumble through my pain, backing away while he’s still coming at me.
“She does deserve better, so why the f*ck did you bring her out here?”
“Because it was my order.”
“F*ck your order…” He starts pacing, sliding Iris off him while he’s breathing heavily. “Because my order was to come here and take one of you home. The other one dies.“
5 Star TDC Book Reviews – “This was a highly entertaining and addicting story that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.”
5 Star caffe.and.books – “Intense, wicked and suspenseful goodness, I couldn’t read it fast enough yet I didn’t want it to end.”
5 Star Goodreads Review – “I LOVE Mafia Romance and this author has a way of spinning a story that makes you feel as if you’re a part of the story as you read it.”
I’ve never met him. Never even seen him.
But I’ve heard the whispers. The rumors. The stories about him being as cruel as his father. Maybe even worse.
They say his presence wraps around your throat whenever he enters a room. And that’s exactly what I feel the moment he walks into the diner where I work, and I hear people breathe out his name.
Alexius Del Rossa.
They call him the crown prince of the Dark Sovereign—a society of men who own everything but the weather in this town.
Men say he has ice in his veins, and women talk about the corrupted heart in his chest. He’s the kind of man you pray never to cross paths with. The kind of man a girl like me has no chance of surviving.
But while his eyes trap mine, and his magnetism touches my skin, I’m unable to move when he forces me into a corner and hands me an envelope.
It’s an offer.
One I can’t refuse.
See, I have nothing. No family. No friends. No home.
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
