The Crime Society series by Diana A. Hicks is a dark mafia romance collection set in a world ruled by five original crime families. The Society is a secret enclave that has existed for over a century, and its members are the peacekeepers, the protectors, and the most dangerous people in the room.
The series is structured as four interconnected duets. The Beast Duet introduces Rex Valentino and Caterina Alfera in an enemies-to-lovers story inspired by Beauty and the Beast. The Wolf Duet follows Santino Buratti and Lucinda O’Brien in a captive romance full of forced proximity. The Raven Duet tells the star-crossed love story of Enzo and Aurora, beginning with the prequel Dark Beauty set at Midtown High before continuing into the main Fallen Raven books. The Knight Duet features professor Luca Gallo and mafia princess Donata Salvatore in a student-teacher romance tangled with kidnapping and forced marriage.
Each duet works as a standalone romance with its own couple and resolution, but the overarching conflicts between the families build across the full series. Fallen Raven won the 2023 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal in the Romance - Contemporary genre.
