Nico & Gigi Duet Book 1

by I.S.A. Bella

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Gigi
He was the devil I craved.

I knew I was screwed the moment I caught his eye.
He’s sexy, cunning, and cruel—a ruthless killer disguised as a prince.
Despite every warning sign and instinct telling me to stay away, I found myself drawn to him in a way I couldn't resist.
Our chemistry ignited a forbidden romance that simmered with intensity and danger.
But then Nico shattered my heart, leaving me at the mercy of his enemies.
In the end, I was just another pawn in a deadly game.

Nico
She was the angel who brought peace to my chaos.

The first moment I saw her, she was mine—a soul to possess.
Innocent and beautiful… everything opposite in my world.
She held the power to unravel my defenses.
Until, through her deceit and betrayal, she shattered it completely.
And now, she has been snatched away from me, leaving me hollow and raging.
My enemies will face my wrath for taking what's mine.
I will burn this world down and stop at nothing to bring my angel back home.

Across the Wilderness

  Where it all began...

https://amzn.to/4dQQOYX

Stories that stir within us the unquenchable hope for a better tomorrow.

Pamela Ackerson delivers all the passion that fans of this Native American, historical, time travel series have come to love. With unforgettable characters, she has enchanted readers with adventure and love that has spanned across the essence of time. This is the story that started it all, introducing the Wilderness time travel series, a timeless, spellbinding novel of passion and richly detailed history that delightfully comes alive in an exhilarating adventure with a love story that spans across the ages. The mysterious dreams had become a reality.

Traveling through time, Dr. Karen Anderson found herself in the land of the Lakota, in the midst of the Indian wars, and the movement west. Swept into the arms of the dark-haired warrior, Standing Deer, from her modern-day hustle and bustle to the temporary serenity of life on the Plains...over the span of time, they fight for yesterday and together find the promise of tomorrow.


In the heart of the wilderness, where the winds carried secrets and the ancient trees whispered forgotten tales, Dr. Karen Anderson stumbled upon a rift in time. Her footsteps, guided by destiny and sheer curiosity, led her beyond the boundaries of her life.

The year was 1876, and the land stretched out before her like an untamed canvas. The Lakota people roamed freely, their lives intertwined with the rhythms of nature—the buffalo herds, the changing seasons, and the sacred ceremonies that echoed through the valleys. Karen, a modern woman with a scientist’s mind, found herself inexplicably drawn to this world of raw beauty and primal struggle.

And there, amidst the rolling grasslands, she met him—the dark-haired warrior named Standing Deer. His eyes held the wisdom of ages, and his spirit bore the weight of ancestral memories. He was a man of honor, bound by duty to protect his people, yet haunted by dreams of a woman from another time.

Their encounter was no mere accident. It was a collision of destinies—a cosmic dance that defied logic and reason. Karen, with her stethoscope and her heart full of longing, became entangled in the threads of history. Standing Deer, with his bow and his quiet strength, saw in her the promise of a future he could not comprehend.

Together, they navigated the treacherous currents of time. They faced battles—both on the battlefield and within their hearts. For love, like war, knows no boundaries. It transcends the barriers of culture, prejudice, and even mortality. And so, Karen and Standing Deer fought for their love—a love that spanned centuries, defying the very fabric of reality.

In the moonlit nights, they whispered secrets to the stars. In the heat of battle, they clung to each other, knowing that every kiss could be their last. And as the Lakota sunsets painted the sky in hues of amber and crimson, they vowed to find a way—a bridge across time—to be together.

But fate is a fickle weaver, and the threads of their love were fragile. The spirits watched, their ancient eyes filled with both sorrow and hope. And when the final reckoning came, Karen and Standing Deer stood at the edge of eternity, their hands entwined, their hearts ablaze.

In the vast expanse of the wilderness, where the echoes of battles and the songs of ancestors lingered, two souls found solace. Their love story, etched into the very fabric of time, whispered across the ages—a promise that love, like hope, could endure beyond the limits of mortality.

And so, as the winds carried their names into eternity, Karen and Standing Deer became legends—a love story woven into the tapestry of the Lakota people, a beacon of hope for all who dared to dream of a better tomorrow.

The Lemon Gunman

Essentially Sweet Romance Book 3

Wanted for assassination.

I’m the top female sharp-shooter in the US, so it makes sense, I guess. Only I didn’t do it.

Running is my only option in order to figure who framed me, and exactly what happened in that Cincinnati hotel room. But I’m trapped here in the city, incapable of producing an alibi, when all I want is the wide-open fields of Montana. Oh, and Harper Wasden, the Navy Seal who stole my heart the second I laid eyes on him. But he’s off fighting a war somewhere, I’m alone, with only an abandoned Pitbull to keep me from going crazy. When help arrives out of nowhere, saving my neck from the FBI’s clutches, dare I trust it? Not when every heart beat pounds out the name Harper Wasden.

The problem is, it looks like I did it. Even. To. Me.

The Spearmint Spy

Essentially Sweet Romance Book 4 

 

A dark anniversary looms over the most luxurious cruise ship on earth.

Escaping myself in order to survive the date that almost killed me last year is imperative. Daddy's ship is the perfect place to do it, with no reminders of the past or familiar faces. But finding a body in my car just before boarding is no help at all. Especially since she’s dressed just like me, designer nails and all.

To make things worse, an infuriatingly handsome passenger is determined to ruin the entire trip, and besting him might be the only enjoyment I get. Except all my usual tricks fall flat, and he seems impervious to my seething rebukes.

Finding a gun hidden in my room is the last straw; espionage surrounds me and I haven’t got a clue how to survive it, or the anniversary I’ve never been less prepared for. I’ll need all the brute force my protection dog can dish out, and, I hate to say it, the help of the one man I can’t intimidate.

One thing I’m not wrong about is that spurning him equals life over for me.

But when I discover his under-ground dog fighting ring, something deep down and red-headed flares up. One of us is going down, and it won’t be me, I’ve got dogs to save.

A street-wise kid named Cooney hatches the craziest plan. He says the mob’s second in command, Billa, will help me, but isn’t that jumping from the pan into the fire? And a fire he is too.
