Elodie Parker and Maeve Hart are more than lovers. They're best friends, soulmates, and a force to be reckoned with. Elodie runs Valkryie's Pit, a bar where fights break out more often than drink specials, with her trusty baseball bat and an iron fist. Maeve runs Bookish Baristas, a cozy coffee shop that holds a sharp mind and a sharper spine, with a softness that almost hides her sharpness. Elodie and Maeve might have their own shadows, but they certainly never expected to collide with Chicago's dangerous underworld. Somehow, they've caught the attention of Chicago's most dangerous men-the four kingpins known as the Devils. Already bound to each other in a powerful polyamorous relationship, the Devils rule the city's criminal underworld with quick minds, ruthless hands, and unbreakable loyalty. The Devils find themselves falling for not one, but two women who are as fierce as they are irresistible. Rafael has been secretly watching Elodie and Maeve ever since spotting them on a security camera at the Devils' nightclub, Obsidian. Kai becomes obsessed after watching Elodie fight at Inferno, their underground fight club. Lincoln is hooked the moment Maeve accidentally gets flagged in his casino, Moonlight. And Adrian-their hacker? He already knows everything, including Rafael's dangerous secret. He has known about the women longer than anyone realizes. As a brutal turf war ignites, the Devils pull Elodie and Maeve into their world. The attraction is electric. The obsession overwhelming. The love explosive enough to level a city. And six hearts are on the line this time. But the Devils are obsessed. Protective. Possessive. And willing to burn their empire to keep the women they want. Welcome to A Syndicate of Sinners. The Devils are open to love. And prepared to ruin anyone who touches what's theirs.

I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel. It will have mature themes, including but not limited to, violence, sexual themes, sexual scenes (including light BDSM), abuse, and mentions of rape.
