Echoes of the Syndicate By S.H. Fatima When an elderly couple is murdered in cold blood, Detective Leo discovers an old silver dragon pocket watch hidden beneath the floorboards-the last piece his father made before being framed as a traitor and killed five years ago. The watch reveals a dangerous truth: Chief Raymond, the city's top lawman, is the secret head of the ruthless "Red Viper" crime syndicate. Captain Maya has served Raymond for twenty years, believing he took her in as a father figure after her parents were killed. But when an underground bunker uncovers that Raymond murdered her family and sold her childhood best friend overseas, Maya's loyalty shatters. Forced to unite against the man who destroyed both their lives, Leo and Maya must fight through deadly ambushes, harbor raids, and a corrupt police force to expose the syndicate before it's too late. From enemies with guns drawn to an unbreakable bond forged in the dark, they will risk everything for justice, family, and love. --- Status: Complete (20 Chapters) Rating: Rated PG-13 / Teen (Contains cinematic action violence, intense thriller themes, and mild peril.

In Lunaris, no one is who they say they are. Here, jazz calls the shots and the night never ends. Red Hood-or just Red, for those bold enough to get close-slips through the alleys, her red hood pulled low over sharp, watchful eyes. That crimson hood is as legendary as her instinct for trouble. By her side is Mr. Bad. The Big Bad Wolf himself, with a velvet voice and a smile that promises nothing but trouble. On the stage of the "Glass Slipper," he sings secrets, teases princes, and cradles traitors and lovers alike beneath dim lights and swirling smoke. Between songs, he solves problems-some with charm, others with claws. Lunaris is a city of broken promises, faded magic, and expensive vices. Happy endings are brokered at the highest price, and every night is a risky game. Red and Mr. Bad play it better than anyone: an unlikely pair, cynical and loyal only to their own code. Because in Lunaris, just surviving is a fairy tale.

Detective Riley Quinn is tasked with solving the case, but the deeper she digs, the more secrets she uncovers-about the victim, the city's underworld, and her own past.

Perfect for readers who enjoy suspense, dark secrets, and a race against time.

Noir Hound is the kind of man you whisper about but never see coming. Clad in a vantablack damask tracksuit and driving a weaponized vintage Duesenberg, he's the owner of elite businesses by day-assassin of dishonor by night. He's not just taking out mafia bosses who broke the old codes; he's rewriting the rules of power, pleasure, and vengeance. With a circle of galactic Black women who move like shadows and strike like lightning, Noir is on a mission deeper than revenge-one steeped in ancient codes, ancestral secrets, and the art of leisure as rebellion. For Noir, killing isn't the job. It's the intermission between cigars, symphonies, and seduction.

She builds empires out of blood. He was meant to dismantle them. Jonathan Daniels is a cop playing criminal. Natasha Ridley is a crime boss playing god. What begins as deception spirals into obsession-until loyalty fractures, bullets fly, and the only thing more dangerous than the truth... is what they feel. Love was never part of the plan. Neither was surviving it.

He doesn't know he's adopted. And he has no idea how much that one moment changed me. Now, I'm chasing more than success. I'm chasing the pieces of myself I thought I lost.
