~A woman in peril. A powerful man with a hidden agenda.~
Raised to wealth and power, Lilian is left destitute and in peril of her life when her father was executed for foul crimes. Determined to survive and protect what remains of her family, Lilian becomes the apprentice of a powerful warrior. For three years, he will train her for a position in the Cartels. In return, Lilian will yield him absolute control of her mind and body.
Lucius Mercio is the preeminent warrior of his cartouche, and the cartel it dominates; the Serengeti Group. Ruthless, clever and ambitious, Lucius' wealth, influence, and power are exceeded by few within the Twelve Systems. It is not sufficient. Lucius intends to take his Cartel to unimaginable heights with the aid of Lilian's brilliance. He faces only one obstacle. Lucius must keep Lilian alive.
Publishers Note: This book contains explicit sexual content and is intended for adult audiences. A stand alone novel in series, it does not contain cliffhangers. It also does not have a 'Happily Ever After' ending - more of a 'Happily For Now.'
EG has always enjoyed a vivid imagination and the occasional scribbling. In 2010 she was struck by the inspiration for The Apprentice Volume 1. The draft of a single novel soon became three, and then more. The Cartel: The Apprentice Volume 1 was published in December 2012, followed by Bright Star in 2014 and Transgressions in January 2016. The fourth volume, Fortuna, is scheduled for 2017.
EG works as an IT consultant and writes as often as possible. When neither goes well, she cooks exceptionally and gardens adequately. EG resides on the East Coast of the USA with her beloved (and often confounded) husband and their severely OCD Jack Russell Terrier.
In a single moment, everything changes. Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly collapse, leaving their friends and loved ones behind, terrified and confused.
Moments later, the fallen rise and the survivors become the hunted.

After doing the unthinkable and escaping the deadly Gauntlet, Tommy Ward and his friends struggle to come to terms with the price they paid for their survival. But they won’t have time to process their grief, because Tommy is still Gifted, and the world still wants him enslaved. Or dead.
Still on the run from The Protectorate and Reclaimers, a visitor appears with a dire warning about their missing friend, dragging them into a conflict that has raged since the beginning of time. In order to rescue him they’ll need to face down The Syndicate, fight against powers they can’t fathom, and enlist the help of the Underground. And if they fail? Failure means the destruction of everyone and everything they care about in this world.
To rescue his friend and protect his family and everyone he cares about, Tommy must face his toughest foe yet – the revenge-obsessed Grim Reaper. Can they put aside their differences and work together to save the lives of the people they love? To become the hero he must, Tommy must truly become… Unbreakable.
Patrick Dugan was born in the far north of New York, where the cold winds blow. This meant lots of time for reading over the long winters. His parents didn't care what he read as long as he did and thus Patrick started with a steady diet of comics and science fiction novels.
His debut novel, Storm Forged, Book One of the Darkest Storm series, was published by Falstaff Books in May of 2018. The follow up novel, Unbreakable Storm will be released May 2019.
When you start out as an author, nobody tells you about all of the other “jobs” that you take on in addition to writing novels. Being a full time technologist has led Patrick to start a blog on the uses of writing technologies and how to apply them to the writing process. He delves into software, hardware, social media, and all things web related.
Patrick resides in Charlotte, NC with his wife and two children. In his limited spare time, he’s a gamer, homebrewer, and DIYer.

Tommy and his friends vow to save his dad, but without their powers, how will they do it? Tommy is about to find out that everything has a price, and sometimes you have to pay more than you can afford.
