Book Description
In a life surrounded by enemies, famiglia is everything. I’d do anything for mine, which makes me the perfect soldier in our underground world. The Empire was built on blood and strength, and the Vendetti name reigns supreme. However, the hits from the Irish keep coming and our capo is forced to make some tough decisions. One of us is to be the next sacrifice, an honor bestowed to make the famiglia stronger. So why does my chest hurt so badly at the thought of it being me? I knew I would have to pay the price and do my duty eventually, but one look at her beauty and my heart sinks. She’s not the one for me, and I know I’m not ready to lose my freedom. When she’s given to my brother, my world tilts for another reason. He’s my best friend, my freedom, and through him, we share everything. EVEN HER. (The Vendetti Soldier can be read as a standalone, but why? Check out the others too! They're deliciously dark & twisted in the best ways. Contains MF/MFM/MMF/MM/MMFM/dub/edging/voyer/stuffing/bred/dominate & much more. If you can't handle books outside the typical box, this one isn't for you)

Book Description
Empire - They're the Vendetti crime familia, the most powerful mafia name in New York...Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to the Vendetti Empire and the capo dei capi's throne, he's only required to do one thing. He must get married to prove that he's matured and is stable enough to take over. The stipulation doesn't sound like much of a challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet's the Bottaro Princessa, not just a random woman he met by chance in another country. She's young—too young by his standards. She's headstrong—a problem for a dominant man like Matteo. She's desirable—the biggest issue of all. Before long, Matteo's questioning himself, wondering if Violet's really such a burden, or if just maybe, he's falling in love with something other than the Empire. Queen- Violet Vendetti was the Bottaro princess-- was. She'd been betrothed to the Capo dei capi of New York, without ever knowing it. A deal made, is a deal kept, as far as the Vendetti Crime family is concerned. No matter that it was her father to plead for her safety offering up her hand in marriage amongst other promises. The Capo always comes to collect what is owed. Violet is swept away into a world she thought she knew, only to discover everything isn't what it may seem. From family traditions to deals struck, she learns exactly what it takes to be the Vendetti queen. *Dark mafia romance with possible triggers. This book is NOT a cookie-cutter read.* Praise for Vendetti - WOW! Matteo and his brothers are HOT! By the time you finish The Vendetti Empire you’re not going to know which one you love the most. I’ll happily take them all! – Victoria Ashley, New York Times Bestselling Author Holy hotness batman, what did I just read! I won't spoil a single thing as this is one book you should truly read blind. Don't have a single thought as you open the book and devour the pages. There is nothing more b*d*ss than a crime family romance for me. I just can't get enough. Sapphire Knight draws you into this world with these strong characters and takes you deep into this place page by page. I couldn't stop and I'm dying for more! - Author Chelsea Camaron Holy flaming Kindles!! This is hands down one of the most panty-melting books I've ever read, AND it has a storyline. It's every b**kwh*re's dream come true! Sapphire Knight, you have some deliciously naughty words in your head, and I loved every single one of them! -Author Teagan Brooks I read the entire thing last night, obsessively, and holy wow. That has to be the dirtiest, yet hottest book I’ve ever read. I was not expecting that level of heat. Dang girl. Dannnng! Sapphire Knight, you’re a dirty bird and I love it! -Author Jaci J Holy heck in a hamper! GIRL! For one, I think I may now have hypertension. For two, you have absolutely knocked this one out of the MF Park. Hot AF! Sweet Jesus. Someone get me some dang ice water, open a window, something! - Author Kristine Allen If you have ever met Sapphire Knight she is the sweetest little thing...but man does she write twisted and hot men!

Digital War
Author: William Merrin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317480406
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Digital War offers a comprehensive overview of the impact of digital technologies upon the military, the media, the global public and the concept of ‘warfare’ itself. This introductory textbook explores the range of uses of digital technology in contemporary warfare and conflict. The book begins with the 1991 Gulf War, which showcased post-Vietnam technological developments and established a new model of close military and media management. It explores how this model was reapplied in Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003), and how, with the Web 2.0 revolution, this informational control broke down. New digital technologies allowed anyone to be an informational producer leading to the emergence of a new mode of ‘participative war’, as seen in Gaza, Iraq and Syria. The book examines major political events of recent times, such as 9/11 and the War on Terror and its aftermath. It also considers how technological developments such as unmanned drones and cyberwar have impacted upon global conflict and explores emerging technologies such as soldier-systems, exo-skeletons, robotics and artificial intelligence and their possible future impact. This book will be of much interest to students of war and media, security studies, political communication, new media, diplomacy and IR in general.
