ABOUT THE BOOK: RELEASE DATE JULY 9, 2026

Three authors. Two morally grey characters. One deadly world.

In the silence of the morgue, she fixes what violence ruins. Bullet wounds disappear beneath careful stitching. Evidence vanishes. Secrets are buried with the dead. Every crew in the city relies on her.

All except one.

The largest. The most powerful. The one even other criminals fear.

She has spent years avoiding them.

Until the night their leader walks through her doors.

He does not shout. He does not threaten. He simply watches her work, calm, immaculate, disturbingly intrigued. When he tells her she will be working for him from now on, it sounds less like a request and more like fate closing in.

She refuses.

He returns.

Again.
And again.
And again.

The more she resists, the more fascinated he becomes. He calls her extraordinary. Says her talent is wasted on small men with smaller ambitions. Says beautiful things belong in powerful hands.

He thinks she will bend.

He has no idea she has been surrounded by monsters her entire life and survived them all.

REVIEW:BEAUTIFUL THINGS OBEY is a contemporary, adult, dark, erotic, Mafia romance story line co-authored by Penny Dee, TL Smith and Kia Carrington-Russell. This is crime boss Silas Vescari, and mortician Dr. Leonore Graves’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Leonore and Silas) BEAUTIFUL THINGS OBEY follows the building but acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Dr. Leonore Graves is the local mortician finds herself doing ‘favors’ for the criminal underworld, often hiding evidence from the authorities or warring factions of the mob. When a body disappears Leonore is confronted by crime boss Silas Vescari, a man who is determined to get what he wants but Leonore is tough,determined and stubborn, having had to rely on herself most of her life but the past has returned, and our heroine is about to run.

The world building focuses on Leonore’s work for the different factions of organized crime. As the bodies mount, the money builds but Leonore is not whom she claims to be. A personal betrayal and a hint of recognition threatens all peace for our story line heroine.

The relationship between Silas and Leonore is tempestuous and aggressive. Leonore is determined to keep everyone at arm’s length but Leonore’s secret is about to reveal a dark and dangerous path, a path of which Silas is going to travel. Declaring himself guardian and protector, Silas is falling for a woman with a target on her back, a woman whose friends are about to become collateral damage. The $ex scenes are erotic and aggressive.

There is a large ensemble cast of questionable, colorful and dangerous secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Silas’ right hand man Valen; Leonore’s friends Nessa and Sophie, and her assistant Tori. The requisite evil has many faces.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS OBEY is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic, edgy and gritty; the romance is limited but seductive; the characters are determined, desperate and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 19, 2025

A ruthless Bratva boss.
A lone witness.
A snowstorm that traps them together at Christmas.

I was in the wrong alley at the wrong time.
And I saw something I shouldn’t see.

One gunshot.
One dead man.
And one cold-eyed killer staring straight into my soul.

Nikolai Morozov.
Bratva Pakhan.
A gorgeous, merciless nightmare.

He kidnaps me to a remote mountain lodge where a blizzard locks us inside.
Just the two of us—and the secrets he refuses to explain.

He says it’s for my safety.
But the way he touches me?
The way he closes the distance between us?
The way his voice drops when he calls me malyshka?
There’s nothing safe about it.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September

“You’re playing with fire, Little Cinder…”

LARS
I’ve been called a lot of things in my life. Enforcer. Savage. Monster.
None of them bother me. I know what I am.
I am the iron fist of the Knights of St. Boniface Motorcycle Club. I protect the club and keep my family safe.
What I don’t do? Get involved.
Until her.
She’s trouble in torn denim, cowboy boots, and a smile I can’t get out of my head. I should walk away. But I can’t.
Even when I know she’ll ruin me.

ELLA
After my father dies, my half-brother turns our home into a living hell, then sells me to a man with blood on his hands and cruelty in his smile. That’s when he appears. The inked biker with a piercing glare and a body you’d happily die worshipping.
At first he is a threat. Then he becomes my sanctuary. But he doesn’t know who I really am, or what I’ve been sent to do.
Or the danger we’ll face when all our secrets come burning down.

To my club brothers, I am a fearless leader.
To her, I am a nightmare.

Belle
He comes out of the shadows and turns my world upside down.
He forces me to marry him to pay off my uncle’s debt to the motorcycle club.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 18, 2024

I’m fake dating the boss of the Zarkov bratva, what could possibly go wrong?

Lev Zarkov is a real life monster.

No, correction, he’s actually the devil.

And after being dumped at the altar by my loser fiancé who vanished into thin air the morning of our wedding, when things get flirty between me and the mysterious stranger, I think why not?

Surely I deserve one night to forget, I mean, where’s the harm in a little indulgence, right?

I’ll tell you exactly where the harm is. It turns out my one night stand is not only the boss of the Zarkov bratva, but he’s also a billionaire who is used to getting what he wants …and what he wants is me with his ring on my finger.

I’m to appear in public as his fake fiancé and in return my loser ex will get to keep his brains inside his head.

Every instinct tells me I don’t want to do this.

I’m just not prepared for how persuasive he can be…

REVIEW:BRATVA LULLABY is the first instalment in Penny Dee’s contemporary adult ZARKOV BRATVA erotic, dark, Bratva romance series. This is Pakhan Lev Zarkov, and Brooke Masters’ story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lev and Brooke) BRATVA LULLABY follows the forced relationship and engagement between our story line couple. Brooke Masters was humiliated when her fiance never showed up for their wedding, leaving Brooke to wonder where everything went wrong. With her tail tucked between her legs, Brooke heads to New York for some time alone where she will meet and spend one glorious night with a man she only knows as Lev. One month later, Brooke is offered a temporary position back in New York where she will come face to face with the man she couldn’t forget but Brooke’s arrival is planned, and our heroine will become the virtual prisoner of the man with whom she will fall in love. From prisoner to plus one to fiancee, Brooke will quickly discover that Lev Zarkov’s world of the Bratva is dangerous and dark, and our heroine will become a pawn in a much larger game of power and control. What ensues is the building relationship between Brooke and Lev, and the potential fall-out as both Lev and Brooke become victims to a man seeking the top.

The world building focuses on slow spiral of Brooke’s former relationship, and her desire to expand and discover something new. Lev Zarkov has taken the position of Pakhan in the wake of his father’s murder, and in doing so, set himself up as the target of some powerful men. Needing a plus one for events and show, Lev will quickly realize that his fake fiance is slowly melting his heart.

The relationship between Lev and Brooke begins as a one-night stand in which Brooke’s ghosts our story line hero the next morning. Reconnecting in New York was never in the plans for Brooke Masters but Lev Zarkov knew exactly who he wanted and why. A prisoner in a gilded cage, Brooke would quickly discover that the life she once knew is no longer the life of which she is about to be thrown into, head first. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to several members of the Zarkov Bratva including Lev’s driver Igor: Lev’s Uncle Vadim, Uncle Boris and his sons Feliks and Maxsim; low level deal Vlad, and housekeeper Enya. The requisite evil has many faces.

BRATVA LULLABY is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is dramatic and intense but not as dark as some other Bratva series. The romance is seductive and fated; the characters are determined, charismatic, powerful and desperate. BRATVA LULLABY ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Genre: adult, contemporary, Bratva, dark romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

Release Date: April 18, 2024

He took me as collateral to ensure my ex-fiancé kept the deal they made.

But since then, Lev Zarkov has become so much more than the devil I thought he was.
And now his baby is growing in my belly.

I tell myself that leaving is the right thing to do. But waking up without Lev in the middle of the night is pure midnight poison.

I miss his touch. His smell. The warm, comforting way he would hold me in his arms and let me know how much he wanted me.

But that isn’t the man who comes after me.
He’s angry. He’s formidable. He’s hurt.
And now that he’s found me, he’s going to make me pay for breaking his heart.

But there is a danger lurking in the shadows.
And we’ll have to put our differences aside long enough to fight the invisible threat that could destroy everything.

•••••••

REVIEW:MIDNIGHT POISON is the second instalment in Penny Dee’s contemporary, adult ZARKOV BRATVA dark, erotic, Bratva romance duet focusing on Pakhan Lev Zarkov, and Brooke Masters’ story line. MIDNIGHT POISON should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book one BRATVA LULLABY

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lev and Brooke) MIDNIGHT POISON follows ongoing yet contemptuous relationship between Pakhan Lev Zarkov, and Brooke Masters. Brooke Masters is a virtual prisoner of Lev Zarkov, a pawn used as payment for someone else’s sins but lev Zarkov never expected to fall for the woman that is slowly controlling his heart. Brooke Masters is struggling in the wake of Lev’s deception but the discovery of her pregnancy forces Brooke to run, placing herself in the direct line of fire. Meanwhile, all is not well in the Zarkov Bratva-a war is ensuing; a fight for control, and our couple are about to be caught in the fall-out for the throne. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Brooke and Lev,and the fall-out as our couple discover that betrayal comes with a familiar face.

The world building continues to focus on the impassioned but turbulent relationship between our story line couple as Lev struggles to regains control of his Bratva empire. There is a supposed mole within the family, a mole who is gunning for the top.

The relationship between Lev and Brooke straddles the line between love and hate. Lev believes Brooke has betrayed him at the highest level, and Brooke is about to discover the cold hearted Pakhan she had only heard about. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

Once again, we are re introduced to several members of the Zarkov Bratva including Lev’s driver Igor: Lev’s Uncle Vadim, Uncle Boris and his sons Feliks and Maxsim; low level dealer Vlad, and housekeeper Enya. The requisite evil has many familiar faces-betrayal comes from within.

MIDNIGHT POISON is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, dysfunctional family values, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is raw and twisted; the romance is spicy; the characters are brooding, animated and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 6, 2023

Massimo De Kysa.
The man who stole my first kiss.
And now my boss.

I learned early how life can turn on a dime.
That’s how it is when you grow up as a mafia princess.
One minute you’re rich, spoilt, and betrothed to the most revered man in the city—the next your broke and selling your designer bags so you can eat.

But I’m not the kind of girl who gives up without a fight.
And when someone steals everything from me I’m not afraid to turn to the enemy for help.

He’s a De Kysa. I’m a Bamcorda.
Two rival families from the East Coast.
But it wasn’t always that way.
A year ago, he stole my first kiss and gave me a night to remember.

Since then, he’s changed.
Now he’s a powerful don with the presence of an approaching storm.

He agrees to help me hunt down who stole my inheritance.
But everything comes with a price, especially when you strike a deal with the devil.

Will trusting the enemy get my life back, or will it cost me everything?

•••••

REVIEW: THE DEVIL’S LAIR is the second instalment in Penny Dee’s contemporary, adult DE KYSA MAFIA dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Don Massimo De Kysa, and twenty-two year old Bianca Bamcorda’s story line. THE DEVIL’S LAIR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading book one THE DEVIL’S DEN. Massimo is Luca De Kysa’s brother (The Devil’s Den).

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Massimo and Bianca) using present day and memories from the past, THE DEVIL’S LAIR follows in the aftermath of the murder of Bianca’s father Luca Bamcorda, a man who demanded respect but gave nothing in return. Within days of his funeral Bianca discovers she is homeless, and all of her father’s money has been stolen. Desperate for help, Bianca goes to the only man she believes can help, a man she has lusted after for a very long time but a man in direct competition with her late father’s power. Enter Don Massimo De Kysa, the man with whom Bianca will fall in love but all does not go according to plan when Massimo offers to help find the person responsible, only to face down the impossible at every turn. What ensues is the building but questionable relationship between Bianca and Massimo, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed.

The world building focuses on the search for the truth but the truth is about to destroy our story line couple. Working for Massimo means a guaranteed paycheque but working for the enemy means nothing is as it seems, and the truth is about to destroy our story line heroine.

The relationship between Massimo and Bianca begins as an arrangement. Massimo hires Bianca in the face of desperation and pity but Massimo’s secrets are about to push Bianca out of his life. The $ex scenes are limited but intimate and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic. We are introduced to Bianca’s ex-friends, Massimo’s sister Eve, bartender Natalie, as well as the return of Massimo’s brother Nico. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE DEVIL’S LAIR is a Cinderella-esque story line with a bit of Pretty Woman™ thrown in for good measure. Bianca will lose everything, and must face down the people she once called friends but fair-weather friends threaten any hope of Bianca’s trust. The fast paced premise is twisted and edgy; the characters are animated, desperate and tragic; the romance is seductive but struggles in the face of mistrust and lies.

REVIEW:THE DEVIL’S DEN is the first instalment in Penny Dee’s contemporary, adult DE KYSA MAFIA dark, erotic, romance series. This is don Domenico ‘Nico’ De Kysa, and artist and art curator Bella Isle Ciccula’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Nico and Bella) THE DEVIL’S DEN follows the second chance relationship between don Domenico ‘Nico’ De Kysa, and artist and art curator Bella Isle Ciccula. Nico De Kysa and Bella Isle Ciccula were childhood friends turned lovers. Their parents were best friends: Nico’s dad was the don of the De Kysa Mafia, and Bella’s father was his right hand man but ten years earlier, an affair and subsequent murder pulled our couple apart leaving a heart broken sixteen year old Bella struggling to survive. Fast forward to present day wherein Domenico ‘Nico’ De Kysa, the dark and powerful don of the De Kysa Mafia is about to reap revenge using the woman he once loved as collateral. Nico wants vengeance against the man he blames for his mother’s death targeting Bella Isle Ciccula in the process. An arranged marriage, forced proximity relationship ensues, a relationship in which Bella is looking for anyway out. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Bella and Nico, and the fall-out as another family fights for control in New York City, taking aim at our story line couple.

The relationship between Nico and Bella is one of second chances. Bella and Nico were high school sweethearts, having grown up together since they were children but betrayal came at a cost, and our couple were torn apart by the sins of the fathers. Reconnecting years later, the love between one another had turned to hate, each one blaming the other for everything that went wrong. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Bella’s father Vincent Isle Ciccula; Nico’s brother Massimo, their sister Arianna, and their father Gio De Kysa; Nico’s PA Anastacia, and Nico’s ex Amelie La Trobe.

THE DEVIL’S DEN is a familiar story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, love and loss, forgiveness and acceptance. The fast paced premise is dark, gritty and dramatic- the world building is detailed; the romance is provocative; the characters are powerful, broken and determined.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rory and Ares) using present day and memories from the past ARES follows Rory Jones when she comes to Flintlock, Tennessee in search of our story line hero. Rory is well aware of Ares reputation, and she wants to hire Ares for his skills as a killer. Our hero served nine years for a murder he did not commit, and in the fall-out Ares was contracted as an assassin and a killer until the Kings Of Mayhem took him in as one of their own but Ares past has caught up with our hero, and someone is hoping for vengeance against our story line hero. Rory never expected to fall for the man they call ‘Ares the Giant ‘ but the heart wants something the head knows is wrong. Meanwhile, a serial killer is murdering in the name of the ‘seven deadly sins’, and the killings are hitting too close to home. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Rory and Ares, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed, and a killer sets their sights on our story line couple.

Rory Jones wants revenge for the murder of someone she loved but falling for Ares was never on her radar. Ares is immediately drawn to Rory like a moth to a flame but Ares suspects Rory isn’t telling the truth, and in this, he finds himself struggling to let go of his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Jack and Bronte Dillinger (JACK 1), Doc (Doc #2), Paw, Dakota Joe, Shooter, Alchemy, Loki, Bam, Gabe,Dolly, Cinnamon, Sheriff Pinkwater, Devil’s Steed MC president Jethro, and Rory’s mother and her fiancé Connor. The requisite evil has many faces.

ARES is a detailed and complex story of conflict and betrayal, murder and vengeance, secrets and lies, forgiveness and love. The premise is twisted and haunting; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are animated and edgy.
