Title: The Machiavellian Prince

Author: Bella Di Corte
Genre: Mafia Romance/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: June 16, 2023
Cover Design: Najla Qamber


For as long as I could remember, Saverio Macchiavello had been a part of my life.
He was the son of the Machiavellian King of New York, and I was considered Italian royalty—a princess in the infamous Fausti family. Our families had been friends since before I was born.
A connection existed between us that wasn’t normal. It was the strongest thing I’d ever felt. It tethered me to him whether I wanted it to or not. One of us couldn’t seem to exist without the other. It was the same sort of epic love my parents had.
I was terrified of it. Because being a part of the Fausti famiglia meant danger always lurked in the shadows. And as a top soldier for my family, and my personal bodyguard, Saverio would die to see me safe.
And someone wanted me dead.

She’s a goddess in heels. Absolute perfection. Well, almost.
Samantha Fox is the heiress of Fox Sporting, my new management team. As one of the best wings in the NHL, I have never shied away from a challenge, and she is definitely a challenge. But if her company representing me doesn’t stop me from wanting her, the fact she’s engaged should, right?
But the noticeably absent sparkle from her left ring finger makes me question. I vow to myself that I’ll find out what that’s all about. And if she’s single, I plan to make her mine. Or at least, mine for the night. I just need one taste of the divine.
Samantha
Off-limits. That’s what he is. Lucas Bouchard is the prestigious new client acquired by my family’s company. From what I know, not only is he an amazing hockey player, he’s a humble and generous philanthropist too. Also, he’s a walking aphrodisiac.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve just broken off my engagement to a cheating, using loser. Every time our eyes lock, I find myself captivated. But he’s not for me. No matter how many times I remind myself of this, though, it doesn’t compute. Plain and simple, I want him. And keeping my distance might prove impossible.

Blurb:

One minute I was that uncool kid who hated piano lessons.

The next, a high school dropout, playing in a start-up band.

A year later, that band, ‘Screaming Shadows’ was one of the biggest in the world.

Life was phenomenal apart from my one regret. That I never had the guts to tell my best friend, Blaire Hutton my true feelings about her.

As we grew up, I believed Blaire was my soulmate, but as she was every teenage guy’s wet dream, I stayed her nerdy school friend.

That was until the night before I headed out on my first big tour when I’d kissed her goodbye and she’d jokingly made a pact, that if we were both still single by thirty, she’d give up and marry me instead.

For a decade I’d held on to that pact, and with each year that passed I became convinced she would wait for me. But I’ve just heard at twenty-nine she was getting hitched… and it wasn’t to me.

My dilemma is, do I want her? Would she want me?? Should I go home and try to claim what I’ve grown to believe is mine, or am I delusional to think we should ever be together in the first place?

Leave humanity at the door.

Only godless heathens survive here.

 

— Saint —

Chryseum Reformatory Academy aka the Asylum.

This is where the rich send their f*cked-up sons and daughters, delivering them to a prison in the Catskills of New York.

The Asylum doesn’t cure. It camouflages, protecting old money from apples rotting on the family tree.

They call me a psychopath, a lunatic, unhinged.

But here, I am God.

Now, say your prayers at the door, pet, because this is my senior year, my school, my world.

Even God doesn’t step foot here.

 

— Willow —

I didn’t want to kill myself, not really.

I wanted help.

I wanted someone—anyone—to listen.

But I’m just a flesh-and-bone cry for attention.

Now, my father’s shipped me here, where evil and old secrets seep through the cold, stone walls.

An inky-haired guy with a devilish smile offers me protection, but his price is high.

Wear his collar.

Be his pet.

Give myself to him, body and soul.

 

**Author’s Note: Bloody Savage God is a 400+ page, dark academia gothic romance recommended for those 18+. It features mature themes including, but not limited to, an incendiary heat level, bullying, branding, collaring, and, like my other novels, struggles with mental illness.

Please read the content/trigger warnings carefully before reading, available either through the Look-Inside feature or on my website. **

Title: Desired by Doom

Series: The Last Riders, Ohio Chapter
Author: Jamie Begley
Genre: Contemporary Romance, MC Romance
Release Date: May 23, 2023

“Jamie Begley knocked it out of the park once again with Desired Boom!!! I loved every minute of this book.” ★★★★★ Amazon Review


“Brilliant … I loved everything about this book!” ★★★★★ Amazon Review

There wasn’t anything Arden wouldn’t do for her family, even if it meant having to brave The Last Riders in their own clubhouse. There, she found herself thrust out of her comfort zone and seeing things that she was too shy to watch on Pay-Per-View. She needed The Last Riders’ help to save her younger brother, but who was going to be the one to save her from them? One thing was for certain… Doom was impending.

“Dammit.” Swearing, she went back to the trunk.

She had a flat tire. This morning, she had noticed it was low and had stopped to get air. Regretting not getting Rocco to take a look at it when she was the restaurant, she lifted the pans out and set them on the back seat before she took out her spare tire and leaned it against the side of the car before getting the jack. Then, sliding the two pieces of the jack together, she slid it under the car to jack it up.

“Need some help?”

“No,” she told Doom curtly.

Pulling down on the metal lever, she started jacking the car up.

“Move. I’ll do it.”

Arden felt Doom’s jeans brush against her arm.

“I told you I don’t—”

Finding herself lifted off her knees and placed to the side had her glaring at Doom as he bent down to change the tire. As she imagined herself giving him a karate chop to the back of his neck, she glared at him.

“If I needed help, I could have asked Burn. What made you come outside, anyway? Shouldn’t you be busy with Celeste?”

Doom clenched his jaw. “Burn texted me you had a flat.”

Arden looked toward the club door to see Burn was watching.

“He could have changed it himself if it bothered him I was doing it,” she said with snark.

Using the lug wrench next to the jack, Doom started taking off the nuts then pulled the tire off. “Whoever is guarding the door can’t leave it unguarded without permission. He asked for permission, and I told him I would do it.” He slid the spare tire on and started twisting the nuts back on.

“I didn’t take you for a gentleman. Damn, I guess it’s true you learn something new every day.”

After cranking the car back down, Doom released the jack. He carried the tools and flat tire to the open trunk, where he set them inside before shutting the trunk.

“Thanks,” she snapped, turning to open the driver’s door.

She grasped air as she was jerked around until her back was against the door and Doom was towering over her.

“What’s the matter, doll? I get your pussycat in an uproar?”

Her mouth dropped open. No man had ever talked to her that way before.

“Jerk!” Putting her hands out, she tried to shove him away. He didn’t budge. 

When he lowered his head and nuzzled her neck, Arden couldn’t help the tingles that shot down her spine.

“Don’t blame me you’re hot and bothered. If you hadn’t been such a scaredy cat when you watched me with that woman, we would be in my room, and you would be the one my mouth would be on.”

“It didn’t make me hot!” she screeched at him.

“Let’s find out,” he growled into her ear…
