Convenient Mafia Wife

About Convenient Mafia Wife

Two couples. One HEA and one Prequel Cliffhanger.

GIULIA
Our marriage cemented the alliance between our families. Emotions shouldn’t come into it, but I fell in love with the ruthless underboss I married. Only to him, I’m nothing more than incubator to carry his heirs. I adore our son, but I’ve been putting off having another child. Raff is going to flip when he finds out about the birth control.

RAFFAELE
She is smart and beautiful, but there is no room in the life of a mafia underboss for tender emotions. At least that’s what I thought when we got married. Six years has changed a lot, but my wife thinks I’m the same merciless man she wed. To everyone else, I am. But not to her. She’ll forgive me for sending her to a fertility specialist. She has to, because I will never let her go.

Giulia and Raffaele’s story is a steamy mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cheating.

CATALINA
My sister is engaged to the don that sets my senses ablaze. I have no choice but to make plans to run. To escape my father and this incessant physical need Severus sparks in me.

SEVERU
Someone is attacking my mafia. I have to protect la famiglia at all costs, even if that means agreeing to marry a woman I have no feelings for. I just have to ignore the way my body reacts to her sister.
As the prequel to Urgent Vows, this is the only book in the Syndicate Rules series that is not a standalone. Because it is a prequel, Catalina and Severu’s story ends on a cliffhanger.

Eyes of Blue

About Eyes of Blue

In a world ravaged by an inexplicable plague, society lies in ruins. Amidst the desolation, a lone survivor perseveres in a secluded state park along the Delaware Coast. Over a year has passed since she lost everything, yet as the sanctuary she’s carved for herself begins to crumble, she must summon the strength to endure once more.
Venturing beyond her haven exposes her to the horrors spawned by the plague, creatures both cunning and primal. Their origins shrouded in mystery; they pose a formidable threat to any who cross their path. Armed with scant knowledge and a grim resolve, she understands only two truths: they hunt relentlessly, and their chilling gaze is unmistakable—they have eyes of blue.

The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

Similar in tone and content in book one of this series,The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume Two), examines the very best stories of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager with an application of important ideas on war and peace as introduced by Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu centuries ago.

In just over ninety Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager stories reviewed in volume two, the book also links important concepts or proverbs attributed to either Sun Tzu or Lao Tzu with character arcs and problems in contemporary society.

In each lesson associated with specific Star Trek tales, story interpretation is used to show how the heroes – and villains, demonstrate the best and worst of human qualities as they attempt to work out problems in an interpersonal, inter-species or interplanetary way. Once these tales are reviewed, and prominent characters discussed, readers can more easily see how Taoist and militaristic ideas propel their favorite good and evil Bajoran, Ferengi, Cardassian, and others towards the right and wrong decisions in typical human dilemmas found in life and death matters.

Throughout this book, Star Trek stories in general are used as metaphors to illustrate the two Chinese philosophers wisdom in mini-lessons, applying their ideas to current day events. As such, Gene Roddenberry’s use of science fiction as an arena of social commentary works in an intellectual manner and not only for entertainment purposes. Thus, Star Trek can act as a self-help guide, showing us how to improve our personal outlook on society and ourselves. We need not surrender to violent tendencies commonly found in humanity, but should focus on the peaceful potential deep inside of all of us.

At the end of every story analyzed in this book, Everyday Reflections and Everyday Actions are recommended for the reader to take to heart and consider in their lives. Each Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager story discussed in this book provides an important lesson that we can tie into either historical or current day situations as well.

The author challenges the reader to connect Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu’s ideas to their everyday lives.

By taking a positive, proactive role in our everyday life with others, Star Trek stories can give direction for both self-improvement with interactions with others and in society in general.

Looking closely, we can more easily see why Captain Benjamin Sisko and Captain Kathryn Janeway made leadership decisions that shaped not only their crews but the lives of millions of other species across various quadrants of the galaxy?. If we examine the philosophy of Taoism and military leaders of the past, we can more easily understand their motives to preserve justice, life and freedom for their corners of the galaxy.

It is this author’s hope that the reader finds a personal road map on how to conduct his/herself in this complicated and dangerous world through the very human stories of Star Trek.

Echoes of the Maya by B.T. Springer

About Echoes of the Maya by B.T. Springer

[FREE ON JULY 8 AND 9]

Two friends sailed to Central America in 1839 looking for evidence of a lost civilization. Their journey took them through countries torn by civil war and controlled by bandits and rebels. When they weren’t being held hostage, contracting malaria, or meeting Presidents and guerrilla leaders, they found themselves among mystifying ancient cities slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Elaborately carved stone statues were buried by time, and massive pyramids were covered with incomprehensible hieroglyphics. These two men were pivotal in the rediscovery of the Mayan civilization. Their books inspired generations of archaeologists to excavate and preserve Mayan sites like Chichen Itza, Palenque, and Tulum. And their illustrations were so accurate that they have been used to help decode the Mayan language even though the original stone hieroglyphics have been effaced and worn away.

Their names are John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood. They have been largely forgotten, but their story and their thrilling adventure is worth remembering.
