My ex called me fat over the microphone at a mafia masquerade.
A masked stranger silenced him.
“Speak to my fiancée like that again, and I’ll cut out your tongue.”
Apparently, I have a new type. Deadly.
Silver at his temples.
Blood-red ink across his knuckles.
One threat, and my ex’s smirk dies.
“Your fiancée?”I whisper.
“Let the bastard watch what he lost.”
I should go home.
Instead, I follow him upstairs, his hand at my spine, his commands in my ear.
That night, I let the stranger beneath the mask undo me.
At dawn, I learn his name, and every terrible story attached to it.
So I vanish.
Four years later, I’m facing an eviction notice and one way out:
a live-in job for an employer no one will name.
The mansion doors open.
Enzo Accardi.
Billionaire. Crime lord. Killer.
One look at the little boy holding my hand, and Enzo goes still.
“You hid my son from me, Serafina. Now someone wants you both dead.”
His smile turns lethal. “Let them try.”

A Texas Murder, a Priest and the 60-year Cold Case the Church Couldn’t Bury
In 1960, Irene Garza was murdered in McAllen, Texas. The prime suspect was a Catholic priest. What followed was not only a brutal crime, but a 60-year investigation marked by silence, institutional power, and a conviction that would become the oldest on record.
In The Last Confession, Dr. Lynda de la Viña—cousin to Irene Garza—reveals the inside story of a Texas murder the Catholic Church helped conceal. Blending true crime, memoir, and investigative reporting, she traces the decades-long fight for accountability in the Rio Grande Valley. Dr. de la Viña draws on meticulous research and personal memory to expose how legal barriers, district attorney refusals, church governance, and political ties obstructed justice for over half a century.
As a family member who lived under the shadow of this crime and a retired professor trained to analyze systems of power, Dr. de la Viña brings both emotional truth and factual precision to this historic conviction.
Inside, you’ll discover:
• How a 1960 Texas murder became one of the longest-running cold cases in U.S. criminal history—and why it took 60 years to convict.
• The documented inner workings of Catholic Church governance and how institutional silence protected a priest.
• The role of grand juries, district attorneys, and investigative process failures that delayed justice.
• The psychological manipulation and shifting confessions of Father John Feit.
• How one South Texas family refused to let corruption erase their cousin’s memory.
More than just a true crime book, The Last Confession is a record of perseverance, faith tested by power, and justice finally restored. $0.99 on Kindle.

To reclaim her name, she must unleash the darkness in her blood—before the legacy built to devour its women claims everyone she loves. Darkness pays no loyalty. $3.49 on Kindle.
What if you could measure your dry ingredients once—and use that work again and again?
This dry mix pantry cookbook shows you how to prepare versatile Master Bases ahead of time, keep them ready in your pantry, and turn them into fresh breakfasts, dinners, baked goods, soups, sauces, and more with just a few simple additions.
THE MASTER BASE METHOD
This is more than a collection of recipes. It is a practical cooking system built around one simple idea: Prepare once. Use many times.
Instead of measuring flour, spices, seasonings, and other dry ingredients every time you cook, prepare a reusable Master Base once. When you are ready to cook, measure out what you need, add Dry Mix-Ins and Fresh-Adds, and create a completely different recipe.
HOW IT WORKS
Prepare a Master Base from simple pantry staples.
Store it in your pantry in an airtight container.
Add Mix-Ins & Fresh-Adds such as spices, milk, eggs, vegetables, cheese, or meat.
Use the same base again to create multiple meals, bakes, sides, and sauces.
WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS
Time-Saving Cooking: Reduce repeated measuring and everyday prep work.
Budget-Friendly Pantry Cooking: Build meals around affordable pantry staples and rely less on single-use boxed mixes and seasoning packets.
Practical Clean Eating: Make homemade mixes with simple, recognizable ingredients and keep more control over what goes into your meals.
Flexible Mix-and-Match Cooking: Adapt recipes around what you already have in your pantry and refrigerator.
Simpler Meal Planning: Choose a few active Master Bases for the week and combine them with fresh ingredients as needed.
WHAT’S INSIDE
10 Reusable Master Mixes
150+ Easy Recipes and Variations
30-Day Meal Plan
Pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, muffins, quick breads, cookies, and bars
Skillet meals, soups, stews, rice and grain dishes
Sauces, gravies, seasoning blends, and dry rubs
Weekly meal planning and shopping guidance
Dry mix storage and troubleshooting tips
NOT YOUR ORDINARY MEAL PREP COOKBOOK
Traditional meal prep often means preparing complete meals in advance and filling your refrigerator with containers for the week. This system takes a different approach: you prepare the dry foundation ahead of time, then add fresh ingredients when you actually cook.
A small set of Master Bases can help cover breakfasts, baking, skillet meals, soups, grains, sauces, and seasonings throughout the week—without preparing every base at once or filling your pantry with specialty ingredients.
Designed for home cooks who want practical clean eating, budget-friendly pantry cooking, time-saving recipes, homemade dry mixes, and easier weekly meal planning.
Prepare once. Use many times. Build your dry mix pantry and make everyday cooking simpler. Free on Kindle.

Explore the fascinating intersection of human and artificial intelligence in The Evolution of Intelligence: The Interplay Between Human and Artificial Minds. This compelling book examines how human cognition has evolved over millennia and how artificial intelligence (AI) is now transforming the world, shaping our future in ways both exciting and uncertain.
The journey begins with an exploration of human intelligence, tracing its development from early cognitive milestones to modern-day theories that explain how our brains have driven societal progress. By drawing on key insights from renowned theorists like Piaget and Vygotsky, the book offers readers a deep understanding of the mechanisms behind human thought, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
The narrative then shifts to the rise of AI, providing a clear, engaging history of how this groundbreaking technology came to be. From the pioneering work of visionaries like Alan Turing to the modern advancements in machine learning and neural networks, The Evolution of Intelligence explores the milestones that have brought AI to the forefront of innovation. With landmark moments like IBM’s Deep Blue defeating Garry Kasparov in chess and AlphaGo mastering the complex game of Go, the book illustrates AI’s growing ability to rival and even surpass human cognitive capabilities.
In today’s Information Age, AI plays an increasingly prominent role in everyday life, reshaping how we learn, think, and work. This book examines how AI influences human cognition and raises critical questions about how our reliance on digital tools may be affecting our capacity for deep focus and creativity. It also explores how AI is augmenting human abilities in areas like healthcare, education, and business, offering exciting opportunities for the future.
At the heart of the book is the convergence of human and artificial intelligence, and the ethical dilemmas this relationship presents. As AI grows more powerful, the book addresses concerns about bias, accountability, and the potential risks of allowing AI systems too much control.
Looking to the future, The Evolution of Intelligence explores the concept of the singularity—the point at which AI could surpass human intelligence—and invites readers to consider the profound implications of such a scenario. Will AI enhance our lives, or challenge our humanity?
This thought-provoking book is essential for anyone interested in the future of AI and its impact on society, ethics, and human potential. Free on Kindle.
