Mafia Boss and Her Dog

Mafia Boss and Her Dog

Author: Helen Bold

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.

Review:

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.

Meet My Mother

The author dedicated his true story, posthumously to the memory of his mother. He talks about what constitutes a "Quintessential Mother" by reflecting on the relationship between his mother and her adult children. He draws upon the seemingly endless love, admiration, and adoration for the importance of words his mother taught him and his siblings that we utter to friends and foe alike, and the immense power of prayers and forgiveness in our lives. He recalls how his "quintessential" Mother, who passed away at age 87, lived a life of remaining calm in the midst of raging storms. He recalls the Bible story they often read in the family devotion (while growing up in Nigeria), about Jesus and His disciples panicking and desperately fearful that the boat they were in with Jesus, (who was taking a nap at the time), was about to capsize as the raging storm battled them. You know the story so well, I am sure. Their panic awakened Jesus, who said to them: "O, ye, of little faith" and calmed the raging sea!" He recalls his mother's most powerful legacies to all her adult nine children. One such legacy is "Have you prayed about "it"? By this, she meant "Have you prayed and poured your heart to HIM about what is troubling your soul?" The other is that she reminded us of the Biblical injunction that says: " Be Still And Know That I Am God. He reminds people of all faiths, and creeds: Jews and Gentiles, White, Black, Hispanics, Muslims, Christians, Agnostic, Buddhists, etc., etc, that we are ALL brought to this terrestrial earth by women, adorable women, our mothers, who would rather lose the jewelry they wear around their necks, and the earrings that glitter in their earlobes than have their children's needs go unmet!. He puts it succinctly by telling this story: "My heart sank when I saw, recently on TV networks, a clip on the mother and father of their son, who was killed by the ruthless act of antisemitism and hate, by a group called ISIS, on a direct order by the president of the USA, "supposedly the greatest nation on earth". That clip reminded me that the love that that mother has for her adult child, who was killed, is, for lack of a better adjective, must be "consummate" love, next to God's redeeming love for comforting us in the midst of our sorrows!"

This is Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi's true story about "Meet My Mother." He tells it compellingly well in a storytelling fashion that makes his readers feel like saying to him: "Been there, done that; " we know exactly what you are saying to us. This is the way that the author honors his "quintessential mother", whose job, like most mothers' jobs throughout the world, is never ending, never finished, very much unlike a conventional "job description" that most of us adhere to when we perform our paid jobs. What I am trying to say is: "You can never pay enough for what a mother does to her family. By default, and by way of applicability to the world at large, and quite frankly to humanity, we can NEVER pay enough money to recompense motherhood. So, I dedicate "Meet My Mother" to ALL MOTHERS, worldwide. KUDOS TO ALL MOTHERS! You are doing an amazing job!

Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi Honors His Mother in Meet My Mother

In Meet My Mother, Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi dedicates a true and deeply personal story to the memory of his late mother, celebrating her as the embodiment of a “quintessential mother.” Through heartfelt reflection, he paints a portrait of a woman whose calm spirit, unwavering faith, and boundless love shaped the lives of her nine children and continues to inspire others beyond her family.

The book recalls how his mother lived a life of serenity even in the midst of raging storms, reminding her children through word and deed that prayer and trust in God are anchors of strength. One of her lasting legacies remains her gentle but powerful question: “Have you prayed about it?” With these words, she encouraged her family to bring their troubles before God, teaching them that faith and forgiveness can carry them through life’s most difficult challenges.

Interwoven with biblical stories shared during family devotions in Nigeria—such as Jesus calming the storm—Dr. Akinyemi connects his mother’s teachings to timeless lessons of courage and faith. Her guidance resonates not only within the family but also with readers from all walks of life, regardless of culture, creed, or background.

At its core, Meet My Mother is not only a tribute to one extraordinary woman but also to motherhood itself. Dr. Akinyemi reminds us that mothers across the world—whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, or otherwise—share a universal devotion that cannot be measured or repaid. He draws parallels between his own experiences and those of mothers everywhere, highlighting how their sacrifices and unconditional love sustain families and communities.

By honoring his mother, who passed away at the age of 87, Dr. Akinyemi extends his gratitude to all mothers worldwide. His story is both personal and universal, a testament to love that transcends time, faith, and culture. In his words, “KUDOS TO ALL MOTHERS! You are doing an amazing job!”

 

A Climax in Time

“What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo.

How would a modern woman cope if she were accidentally transported into the early 1900s, a time without modern conveniences, when women didn't even have the right to vote? And how would the Victorian era handle an intelligent, educated, assertive woman from the future?

Leanne Hermes, the wife of an eccentric billionaire scientist, was accidentally transported 99 years into the past by a device her husband made to capture the energy of the female orgasm.

Her distraught husband thought the worst, that his device had disintegrated his wife, until he came across journals his great-grandfather had explicitly saved for him. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. What he learns about his family tree and his family's company in his desperate quest to return Leanne shocks him to his core.

If you enjoy spicy novels about time travel with unexpected twists and turns, you’ll want to get your copy of A Climax in Time.

Made for Me is a deeply personal and emotionally rich memoir chronicling the love story of Careshmeh and Joshua Michael French—a tale of healing, second chances, and divine orchestration. After enduring a painful divorce and years of self-reliance, Careshmeh—an outspoken, driven mother of three—is unexpectedly swept into a love she never imagined possible. Enter Joshua Michael French, a larger-than-life, compassionate man with a tragic past and a heart devoted entirely to service and connection. Their whirlwind romance begins with a hilariously mismatched first date, but quickly deepens into something profound. With unfiltered honesty and an abundance of quirks, Josh proves himself as more than just a romantic partner—he becomes a father figure to her children, a true companion, and a spiritual equal. Told with vivid detail and emotional authenticity, the memoir traces their courtship through heartfelt conversations, inside jokes, family trials, shared values, and growing intimacy.

Just as their relationship seems to settle into something sacred, life throws devastating challenges their way—accidents, illness, and the crushing reality of hospital walls. Careshmeh’s strength is tested in unimaginable ways, yet through it all, the love between her and Josh grows stronger, more anchored in faith, covenant, and mutual sacrifice. At its core, Made for Me is not just a love story.
