Ciao Bella--New Mafia Book
...
Are you ready to dive back into mafia romance? Ciao Bella is out June 25, 2024 (in a few days) and I don't think any of you are ready for this book!...
The early reviews have been insane, this is a standalone book within the Eagle Elite World (so even if you've never picked up an EE book you won't be lost)....
It's hilarious, brutal, and I was just told by a few readers their fave book of the ye Read more of this blog post »

“ When you have lost your way, when the world appears as if it is
crumbling around you, perhaps, just maybe, you should close your eyes.
By looking outward we forget the strength that is given inward. We can
only see part of the picture with our eyes open. But, when they are closed,
we see as a whole. We concentrate not on what we can see, but on the faith
of what we know to be true." - WHISPERED MUSIC”

Hey guys KEEP JUST RELEASED if you want to snag it go here ;) SURPRISE! Zane is HERE!!!! Go grab him for the special price of $1.99! Amazon is live! And iBooks will be live at ten tonight! This is a stand alone rocker romance about a virgin rockstar "Saint" who falls for the local nerdy girl <3 No cliffhanger and probably one of my favorites I've written (I KNOW I KNOW I always say this! You'll laugh though and we get lots of sexy scenes hooray!)

Hello. I am 41 years old. I am an mother of two. My daughter Angel is 20 and my son Jonathan is 18. They are both doing great in school. But whom I am most proud of is Author Rusty Nugent. He works hard on his Moonwarriors Series. Here is a little bit about the second book. "Thirteen sixty-three. The werewolf warrior Stytentos is jaded and disillusioned, living in a monastery in Nepal. His outlook on life has changed since the humans turned on his people and began hunting them to the point of extinction. As mass hysteria took over Dacia, lycanthropes and humans alike were burned at the stake, accused of being werewolves “in league with the Devil” by the self-righteous and power-hungry Catholic Church. Stytentos is attempting to rebuild his life in the aftermath of the darkest chapter of his people’s existence: The Burnings. So when an old friend long dead appears to him in a dream, asking for him to fight the vampire threat and save the world, he wants no part of it. Eventually, he gives in and his quest leads him on an adventure that will take him around the globe, throughout the centuries until present day. Modern America and the rest of the world have forgotten the old ways, as vampires and werewolves live, fight and die in secret. Nestafil, the vampire leader, plots to unleash his nosferatean army on the human populace and enslave the werewolves. Stytentos must once again learn how to let people get close to him. And the clock is ticking. Will he learn the true identity of who murdered the Volknor family? Can the werewolves destroy the vampires once and for all? It’s a showdown to the finish as the fate of humankind hangs in the balance."
