I’m Damien “Facet” Blackwood—tech guru for the Ankeny RBMC. Love is bullsh*t. My mother and her two thousand husbands were enough to convince me. Give me my computers any day of the week. Until Willow. Victim of a black market adoption, she wanted our help to find her biological parents. From the second I laid eyes on her, I wanted her, but I couldn’t touch her. It would only lead to heartache. Then one night I killed a man and my entire world turned upside down. I wasn’t who I thought I was—hell, I wasn’t what I thought I was—and it seemed the people who should’ve protected me only used me. In a moment of weakness, Willow pushed me too far and I made her mine. Now despite being the biggest danger to her, I can’t let her go. With secrets and enemies pouring out of the woodwork, I might need to embrace the very darkest part of myself. Because if I don’t, none of us may survive.
💙💙💙💙💙
Prepare yourself for the seemingly quiet, quirky, tech geek in the Ankeny, IA Chapter!
I took over El Fuego de los Muertos violently. My father believed he had the right to sell my twin sister to further his business, and I believed he should die for trying. I have been in power for years, my younger brother as my 2nd in charge, my uncle as my confidant and negotiator, and my sweet sister and her family are the reason we continue to fight every day.
I made the acquaintance of the Kosher Nostra in the process of eliminating a threat in my corner of Florida. When another opportunity arises to add another favor owed to me, I don’t hesitate to accept. One of their mafia princesses has been taken and it just so happens her kidnapper has brought her to Miami. I’ll admit it takes my men a while to find where she has been hidden, but when they find the address, we do not hesitate to act. We find her in deplorable conditions, but relatively unharmed. Sophie Schlay should be crying in a corner, broken and distraught…instead she breaks every stereotype and defies expectations.
I cannot have a wife, cannot start a family, cannot and will not put anyone in the crosshairs of my enemies.
So, tell me why I cannot stay away from her?
Sophie Schlay
It never ceases to amaze me the hypocrisy of men. Women are labeled as dramatic and hysterical, often told we overreact and complicate simple matters.
No one is more dramatic than Dario Diaz. He tells me I’ll be his mistress, mansplains that he cannot afford the vulnerability of having a wife and family, and tries to convince me to accept less than what I am worth.
I am a princess of the Kosher Nostra, I am not a side dish, I am the main f*cking course.
Author’s Note: Desidario is book one of El Fuego de los Muertos, a Kosher Nostra spin-off series focusing on a family of the Cuban mafia in Florida as they find love amidst the chaos. This series contains coarse language, strong sexual content, humor, and violence. Please be advised.
Reece Black I used to command the thunderous steel of offshore oil rigs. Now, the only thing I command is the heavy silence of my cabin in Hollow Peak.
I didn’t just leave the coast; I fled the memory of an accident I know was my fault and the ghosts of the victims I left in its wake. In the shadows of these mountains, I’d finally found a way to disappear—until a woman with a bright smile and a stubborn heart knocks on my door.
Rain Mallory I spent my life surrounded by high-rises and silk, but “spoiled” doesn’t fit who I am anymore. I got tired of the superficiality, so I hit the road to find something real—and to fix what I can along the way.
My latest mission is mending Reece’s spirit. I know he’s drowning in guilt for something that was out of his control, but when I finally look at him, I don’t see the monster everyone else does. I see a man I could love, no matter how many demons he’s fighting.
