a dark m/m mafia romance series

The Chicago Syndicate

Let's talk about the monsters?

a novella series by Echo Notte

The HEA isn't freedom.
The HEA is choosing your chains.

Twelve books are live. Six more are coming before the finale. Every one of them lives in the same Chicago underworld — Ferrante, Corsetti, Santino, Volkov — so the people you meet in one story keep showing up in the next, uninvited and unbothered.

I don't write nice heroes. I write men who claim before they ask, and the ones who make them earn it anyway.
