From poverty to persecution, from faith to fire—this is a life the IRS couldn’t audit.
In I IRS (My Hell of Life), James M. Moten delivers an unfiltered memoir of survival, racism, and spiritual endurance. Born in Crockett, Texas, and raised amid the cruel realities of segregation and poverty, Moten’s story begins where most would end—with tragedy. From the “Texas Inferno,” where systemic racism and violence took lives without justice, to the “House of Horrors” in Tucson, where hunger and hardship forged his resilience, every chapter reveals the making of a man shaped by pain but sustained by purpose.
Through the voice of lived experience, Moten recounts a life haunted by loss yet guided by angels—his unshakeable faith in God serving as his compass through every trial. His journey through La Reforma, a turbulent housing project he dubs the “Racial World War III,” exposes the raw reality of American division and the strength it takes to rise above it. Eventually, his path leads to the IRS—an unlikely battlefield where racism takes on institutional form, and perseverance becomes rebellion.
Moten’s life story mirrors the emotional gravity of works like The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Between the World and Me—but it stands apart in its candor. His words pierce with both pain and perseverance, turning his autobiography into a testament of divine protection and human grit.
"A raw and unflinching memoir of survival, resilience, and faith against unimaginable odds." - MainSpring Books
This is not just the story of an IRS agent—it’s the chronicle of a man who wrestled hell and lived to tell the truth.
A journey through suffering, faith, and redemption—I IRS (My Hell of Life) is proof that survival is its own kind of grace.
Nothing came easy for Serene Night. Driven by revenge, she gained power and influence by turning gangs against each other and then taking them over. As a mafia boss herself, she's one step closer to defeating the Godfather, the man who created her. Will her desire for vengeance be appeased, or will she find something else worth fighting for?
Through sheer strength, extreme loyalty, and bare fists, Dean None exists only to obey orders and protect his master. Having no ambitions and desires of his own, he's the Dog. Will he find a purpose in life other than serving his master?
Excerpt:
The sound of a door opening immediately put Dean on high alert, ready to attack if necessary.
“Easy now. You don’t want to hurt your new master.”
Serene came closer and placed a glass of water on the nightstand. She stood there, watching his coiled muscles relaxing before she took a seat on a chair.
“Gacy Crowder is no longer your master. My name is Serene Night. You will call me Boss. Do you feel better?”
“Yes, Boss.”
“Then get out of bed and let me have a look at my new possession.”
Dean obeyed and stood up in front of her, wearing nothing more than the bandages on his torso.
Her eyes scrolled over every ridge of his muscles while he stared at the wall above her head.
Helen Bold’s Mafia Boss and Her Dog is a visceral plunge into the underworld of blood-soaked loyalty, power plays, and the twisted intimacy between predator and protector. This steamy dark romance doesn’t tiptoe around its genre—it dives headfirst into the grit, violence, and erotic tension that define mafia fiction, delivering a tale as brutal as it is seductive.
At its heart is Serene Night, a mafia boss forged in vengeance and tempered by ruthless ambition. She’s not just strong, she’s a force of nature cloaked in silk and steel. Her acquisition of Dean None, a fighter known for his unflinching obedience and terrifying efficiency, sets the stage for a relationship that blurs the lines between ownership and connection, dominance and desire.
Bold’s prose is cinematic and unapologetically sensual. The opening chapter, set in a bloodsport arena masquerading as fine dining, is a masterclass in tone-setting. The juxtaposition of gourmet indulgence with gladiatorial violence creates a decadent, dystopian atmosphere where human lives are currency and loyalty is bought with blood. Serene’s entrance—red gown, million-dollar suitcase, and ice-cold gaze—is pure femme fatale fantasy, but with a twist: she’s not here to seduce. She’s here to claim.
Dean, the titular “dog,” is a study in controlled brutality. His loyalty is chilling, his emotional detachment almost clinical. Yet Bold teases out the tension in his obedience, hinting at a deeper yearning beneath the surface. The dynamic between Serene and Dean is electric, charged with power imbalance, eroticism, and the slow unraveling of identity. Their interactions are laced with dominance and submission, but never fall into cliché. Instead, Bold crafts a psychological dance where every glance, command, and touch carries weight.
What sets this novel apart is its refusal to soften its edges. The violence is graphic, the sexuality intense, and the emotional stakes high. Serene’s quest for revenge against the Godfather who created her is more than a plot device; it’s a crucible through which her humanity is tested. Dean’s journey from tool to man is equally compelling, raising questions about agency, purpose, and the cost of devotion.
Mafia Boss and Her Dog is not for the faint of heart. It’s a dark, decadent ride through a world where loyalty is earned in blood. But for readers who crave morally complex characters, sizzling tension, and a heroine who doesn’t flinch, Helen Bold delivers a story that bites and doesn’t let go.

But Dregan is not the mindless brute they warned her about. And the more she learns his world, his people, his scars—the harder it becomes to remember which side she’s on.
Because power has a cost.

Now, with rebellion rising and desire drawing dangerous lines, Vaeloria must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice:
Her crown.
Her kingdom.

Sofialexandra Shalom’s “The War King’s Bride” is a hauntingly lyrical plunge into the brutal beauty of historical dark romance. Set against a backdrop of conquest, betrayal, and uneasy alliances, the novel opens with a visceral immediacy that grips the reader from the first line and refuses to let go.
The story follows Princess Seraphina, a defiant royal forced into marriage with the infamous War King, Kael of Virelia, a man known more for his battlefield savagery than his capacity for love. Their union is not born of affection but of political necessity, and Shalom wastes no time in exploring the psychological toll of such a bond. Seraphina’s inner monologue is rich with tension, pride, and vulnerability, painting her as a heroine who is both fragile and formidable. Her voice is often laced with biting wit and aching honesty, especially as she confronts the reality of being a pawn in a game of empires.
Kael, the War King, is equally compelling. His presence is magnetic and menacing, a man shaped by violence and haunted by ghosts of his own making. Shalom does not romanticize his cruelty, but she does peel back layers to reveal a man capable of unexpected tenderness. Their dynamic is a slow burn of power struggles, reluctant trust, and forbidden desire—a dance as dangerous as it is intoxicating.
The prose is evocative, steeped in sensory detail and emotional nuance. Shalom’s command of language elevates the narrative, imbuing even the darkest moments with a strange, aching beauty.
From the start of the novel, we recognize this narrative as a masterclass in atmosphere: the tension of a royal procession, the weight of ceremonial armor, the silent war waged between glances. Tags like #darkromance, #forcedmarriage, #enemiestolovers, and #historicalfantasy are not mere marketing, they’re promises kept.
What sets “The War King’s Bride” apart is its refusal to shy away from the complexities of trauma, power, and intimacy. It’s not a tale of easy redemption or sanitized love. Instead, it’s a story of survival, transformation, and the fragile hope that even in the ashes of war, something tender might bloom.
Our verdict: Bold, atmospheric, and emotionally raw, “The War King’s Bride” is a must-read for fans of dark romance who crave depth, danger, and poetic storytelling.
