Series background & context
Men of Inked: Southside moves the Inked universe to Chicago, focusing on the Gallos and friends who live on the city’s rougher edges. The setting is grittier than the Florida books, but the emotional core is the same: family, loyalty, and love that doesn’t ask politely.
The series is made up of connected standalones, Maneuver, Flow, Hook, and Hustle, with Love continuing the story of the couple from Hook. Expect close-knit friendships, busy nights, and the kind of protectiveness that turns into trouble as often as it turns into comfort.
In this corner, loyalty is a love language.
You’ll see familiar faces from the broader Inked world, but Southside can work as its own entry point if you like urban contemporary romance with a bit of edge.
This page lists the books in order, explains how they connect, and helps you decide whether to start at book one or jump straight to the couple that grabs you.
