Family.
What does that
word mean?
Kindness.
Generosity... Love?
None of that
applies to mine.
I think we should
try vicious, corrupt...
Deadly.
I am not an
innocent.
I do not believe
in fate.
Revenge should
have its moment to shine.
I’ve been a slave
to circumstance...
A child of the
shadows.
Now, I embrace the
gloom and thrive inside it.
Revenge. Love.
Vengeance.
Salvation.
The battle inside
me rages on.
At least it does
until one day when... I find her.
I do not
understand.
I cannot allow
myself to believe that...
There is light inside the darkness.
~Nikolai Belikov

This is the latest book, but I don't think it would be fair to miss the previous ones that look equally beautiful and enticing.
The Prelude
(The Musical Interlude #1)
An Amazon #1 International Bestseller!
Contemporary Romantic Suspense
After finishing design school six months ago, Erin Angelo left her tragic past behind in the States and started a new life in Milan, Italy. Burying the grief, silencing her demons, and living a life without any real attachments has worked well for her so far. But when Erin secures her first real job as a budding clothing designer, her controlled world is shaken to its core by the mysteriously sexy director of the local symphony.
Alek Dostov is a man who knows what he wants and how to get it. He’s successful, hot, the son of a millionaire, and women all over the world flock to see one of his performances. For Alek, Erin represents the ultimate challenge: sexy, smart, and unaffected by his charms…or so she thinks. Just like Erin, Alek avoids attachments that leave him emotionally vulnerable. But unlike Erin, his pursuit of all things pleasurable is ruthless.
Knowing how wary they both are concerning any kind of committed relationship, Alek finds a way to pursue Erin, satisfying the intense attraction between them without sacrificing the freedom they both enjoy. Sometimes the deepest passion brings out the darkest emotions. And Erin finds herself completely unprepared for the forbidden world of the young maestro and his truths and even his secrets, as she struggles to deal with her own.
Music, passion, betrayal and forbidden love spun together in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

His goal…One night with the ballerina.
Her goal…To beat the player at his game.
The outcome...Something completely unexpected.
Adriana Dostov pegged Luca Martuccio from day
one: gorgeous, talented, arrogant, a man who has had difficulty committing to
one woman in the past. He is known in fashion circles as the player with a scandalous
history. So when the girls in her ballet troupe suggest she gives up her
virginity to him, she doesn't say no. But she’s not sure that a ‘yes’ is the
right answer either. Yet, she can’t stop herself from making the offer... a one
night stand in Venice.
Luca wanted feisty little Adriana the moment
they first met - and he fully intends to have her, hence why he's agreed to
accept her proposal. In the end, he'll get what he wants. No commitment. All
sex.
But, as Luca discovers, there's more to the ballerina
with the overbearing mother - and he can't help but care about the frightened
girl behind those sad eyes.
Adriana discovers Luca isn't just walking sex on
a stick - he has a wildly passionate side, a lost soul who has suffered just as
much grief as her. And it could be, they're exactly what the other one
needs.

About the Author
Author of the Lost Immortals Saga and the Seraphine Trilogy, I'm also a mother, blogger, reader, gardener, home renovator, and a slayer of Egyptian mummies in Tomb Raider. I believe in karma, coffee, and seriously wish that the producers of Xena would bring my favorite show ever back.I was born in the race-car city of Charlotte, NC, and now live in the City of Alchemy and Medicine, NC, when I'm not hanging out in Bardonia (Lost Immortals). Most of my characters are based on people that I've met throughout my travels and adventures. People tend to stop and start conversations with me as if I've known them my entire life. Does this freak me out? Not really. My mom says that one day I'll get kidnapped by one of them. I told her that if it weren't for these lovely people then I wouldn't be able to create the stories that I do.I have many favorite authors but there are some who truly rock my socks: Octavia Butler, Anne Rice, Kami Garcia, J.K. Rowling, Dean Koontz (on his good-book days), Stephen King (same as DK) Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Kostova, and so many more...Some other common tidbits...hmm. I've watched the movie Under the Tuscan Sun almost 200 times. Seriously, the way I see it is if I keep watching it enough, then suddenly the house that Diane Lane lives in will magically appear in my backyard. I know. I have a huge imagination!

10 Fun Facts about the Musical Interlude Series
1) I worked on a minor in International studies while working on my bachelor’s degree and met some fantastic Russian friends during the process. Of course, they now read my manuscripts and offer suggestions on how to lend an air of authenticity to the characters.
2) Erin’s favorite flavor of ice cream is lime sherbet. She eats tons of it when she’s feeling stressed out.
3) I wrote Alese and Nikolai’s story in the Dark Duet long before Alek and Erin began their Prelude together. At that time, the book had a different name.
4) The gondolas in Venice are painted black in order to prevent disputes between rival water clubs. However, the red gondola from An Aria in Venice does exist.
5) Alek’s unique blue-brown eyes are the result of a pigmentation disorder called heterochromia. Thousands of people throughout the world suffer from this are, but intriguing disease.
6) Aleksandr Dostovsky has an American mother and a Russian father.
7) Most people consider Nikolai Belikov to be androgynous. He most resembles a muscular version of supermodel Andrej Peijic.
8) Alek began studying music and composition at the tender age of six. He’s ambidextrous and has the ability to learn a new instrument rather quickly. At 22, he became a symphonic prodigy, one of the youngest Maestros to ever lead a full orchestra.
9) Both Erin Angelo (Alek’s girl) and Alese Ballentine (Nikolai’s girl) are from Lafayette, Louisiana.
10) All of the books in the Musical Interlude series are edgy, steamy and unique. The story in the Dark Duet is the most taboo of them all so far. It is not for the faint of heart. I didn’t pull any punches. In the words of the infamous Nikolai Belikov: “You’ve been warned.”
