Naples Unmasked by Franco Aversa

An exquisitely written novel set in Renaissance Naples, beset with intrigue, espionage, politics, and a bit of dark magic, at every turn.

You’ve never seen Naples like this.

Among the lords of the criminal underground is Puozzolino, owner of the Good Friday, the greatest bordello in Christendom. Its customers can frolic in a recreation of ancient Rome, enjoy the pleasures of a real nymph in its gardens, or explore darker delights in the witches’ cave.

Despite his success, Puozzolino’s life is plagued by strife. Entangled in the revenge murder of a nobleman, he provokes both Spain’s harsh justice and the capo of a rival clan. Puozzolino is too blinded by a love interest to pay much attention to his growing problems: gang warfare, a duplicitous adviser, and an insane, defrocked cardinal who leads a group of hellspawned followers.

Puozzolino and the rest of the nobles play a dangerous game of false loyalty and open rebellion with their Spanish oppressors, while the countless poor have turned the streets into a playground of desperate exuberance. But there is more to fear than politics and poverty in a land where necromancers and demons thrive.

Struggling against this madness is Puozzolino’s jealous lover, Putta, who tries to keep their lives from falling apart.

Franco Aversa’s Naples is a surrealist Sin City unto itself. It winds through dark European cobblestone alleys, narrowly escapes a dragon’s claws, and flits with the gauzy wings of a sylph. Don’t miss your chance to witness the Italian drama of the century.

Marie of the Sea by Annie Lavigne

Marie of the Sea – Where passion defies tradition
In the twilight of the 19th century, on the rugged shores of Cap-des-Rosiers, Marie’s untamed spirit yearns for something more than her Catholic village can offer. When the magnetic Antoine arrives, he awakens a fire within her that neither the church’s stern warnings nor society’s judgment can extinguish.
But summer romances end, and Antoine’s departure leaves Marie with nothing but burning memories and whispered scandal. As the village turns its back on her, only Charles, her childhood friend, sees beyond her “fallen” reputation to the passionate woman beneath. Yet even as he offers her a chance at redemption through respectability, Marie can’t forget the taste of true passion.
Perched on her clifftop sanctuary, Marie must choose: surrender to convention, or fight for a love as wild and free as the sea itself. In a world where a woman’s reputation is everything, she dares to risk it all to be true to her heart.
This first volume of the bestselling trilogy (over 20,000 copies sold) weaves a sensual tale of desire, defiance, and destiny that will leave you breathless. Perfect for readers who love their historical romance with a fierce heroine, complex emotions, and the untamed beauty of the Canadian coast.
A love story that proves some passions are worth any price.

About the Book

Fireballs! Flaming swords! Holy Fire! And a rogue who likes knives and poison maybe a bit too much…

Dark things have started to rise again around the little town of Ravenford. These nightmarish forces prove too much for poor Glolindir, an elven wizard fresh out of his books. Thankfully, he’s not alone. A halfling “ninja”, a kind Gnomish cleric, a tall human warrior, and a couple of amorous elves are some of the friends keeping him alive in the real world.

Fierce monsters, deadly assassins, and dark mages fall one after the other to these young heroes with their out-of-control fire spells and poison-tipped daggers. Still, those don’t work quite as well against dragons and demons. Can they live up to the challenge or will Ravenford be left at the mercy of these forces of darkness?

Sometimes love interrupts life in the most terrifying and unexpected ways.

Kelynn Sanders has a head full of dreams as overwhelming as North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. She can’t contain it nor control it.

She tries her best to transfer her thoughts into a mystical opal necklace, but it only keeps her episodes temporarily at bay.

When she meets Clayton Fogerty, he’s soon the only thing that clears her head—making life bearable again, but Clayton has a secret. He has Kelynn’s opal necklace and accesses her thoughts to boost her confidence by creating “coincidental” scenarios to push her into what he thinks she wants.

With Clayton around, Kelynn feels compelled to chase her dreams, but can she ever do it on her own and overcome the all-consuming darkness?

Becoming Hungarian: A Memoir by Erika Reich Giles

For most of her life, Erika Reich Giles shunned her Hungarian heritage.

Brought to the U.S. as a child by her parents after the family’s escape from post-World War II Hungary, she longed to become an American. Gradually shedding her Hungarian identity over the years worked until, in middle age, she received a letter from her 91-year-old father that convinced her she couldn’t run from the past forever.

She explored her family’s history and uncovered a story that began in 1948, when Hungary was in the stranglehold of the Soviet-backed Communists, who were sealing the borders, infiltrating the government, and confiscating private property. They seized the Reich Gépgyár, her family’s agricultural machine factory, devastating their lives. She was born in the midst of the ensuing chaos. The family embarked on a daring escape soon after. A series of twists and turns culminated three years later in Billings, Montana, where family secrets complicated a challenging refugee life.

Erika’s quest eventually led her back
