NEW LOOK! THE MAN IN BLACK has a brand new look and is available to binge read on Amazon now!

Brielle

He consumed my mind. I never even crossed his.

From the moment I met Michael, mysteriously brooding and dressed like a dark angel, there was something electric between us. Or so I thought.

What I believed was a seductive and undeniably raw attraction has ended up being something else entirely, something I never foresaw.

Because he’s a skilled liar and a master manipulator, and I downright misread his intentions.

And now I’m afraid that falling for the man in black might become my biggest regret.

Michael

An overwhelming remorse haunts me after losing my fiancée, but I’m not a man who can afford to lower my guard.

I’m a ruthless criminal, one of the top members of the merciless mafia, the Chicago Syndicate, and I moved back home to keep to myself and do a job.

But when a curvaceous pastry chef with a beautiful smile and a possible link to my former life catches me in a reckless moment, I’m forced to watch her and strategize a plan.

Because I’m not sure if she’s out to get me or if she’s just an innocent civilian who doesn’t know that the restaurant she works at is actually a front to launder Syndicate money.

And I intend to find out if she’s playing me while I’m playing her. But then the demons that haunt me force me to make a huge mistake…

Deceit has a price—I just have to make sure I don’t pay with her life.

A standalone novel from the Chicago Syndicate world.

NEW LOOK! BLACK HAT HACKER has a brand new look and is available to binge read on Amazon now!

Although part of the Chicago Syndicate world, Black Hat Hacker is a complete standalone and can be enjoyed either with or without reading the rest of the series.

You don’t know me.

But that’s only because I don’t want you to.

I have the most lucrative job in the country as a hacker in the notorious underworld. I’ve built entire systems and destroyed evidence for career advancement while stealing and exploiting data for personal gain.

I’m the black hat hacker for the Chicago Syndicate and hold all the dirty secrets of the most powerful men in the U.S. in the palm of my hands, just a keystroke away from mass ruination.

However, no one knows my dirty secret, a decision from my past that’s just aching to blow up in my face and shatter my future. Especially when a certain wavy haired brunette begins to demand my attention with her odd ways and her carefree attitude.

She’s a woman who makes me go against everything I’ve ever believed.

A woman whom I’m forbidden from having my usual one-night stand with, even if she was available.

A woman whom I have to keep from getting herself killed, whether she likes it or not.

You don’t know me, but neither does she…yet.

I haven’t read any books by Soraya Naomi before, so this was a real surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, even though I had never read any of the previous Chicago Syndicate stories. Ms Naomi wrote this book in such a way that it can be easily read as a standalone. Her descriptions and details allow for a new reader to follow what has previously occurred and get stuck into the current story. To me, that’s a sign of good writing, as you are not “forced” to read the earlier books in the series. Not only was the story a romance, but there were many twists and turns throughout that kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love the plotline, it drew me in and continued to hold me with all the intricate details that were constantly added. I will definitely be looking up and reading the previous five books in this series. Soraya Naomi has won another fan here. ~ Reading Is Our Satisfaction Blog – 5 stars.
