God of Lies: Soulless Empire, Book 3

She spent ten years building herself into the perfect weapon—and now she's pointing it straight at the man she once desperately wanted to love.

Ilya Rykov is Chicago's most untouchable predator. A towering, ink-veined Bratva boss who rules the city's shadows with ruthless precision, he is not a man who makes mistakes. But he made one once—he let a young woman get close enough to see him clearly. Now, a decade later, that same woman has returned with fire in her eyes and ruin on her mind.

After losing her father and brother in deaths she lays squarely at Ilya's feet, she reinvented herself as a sharp-edged investigative journalist with a singular mission: infiltrate his empire and tear it apart from the inside. The plan is meticulous. The resolve is ironclad. What she didn't account for is how dangerously familiar it would feel to be near him again—or how quickly the boundary between vengeance and obsession begins to blur.

Set against the atmospheric darkness of Chicago's criminal underworld, *God of Lies* delivers gothic tension at its most suffocating. The age gap. The forbidden history. The secrets layered beneath secrets. Every stolen glance between them carries the weight of grief, betrayal, and a hunger neither can quite extinguish.

He calls himself a god of lies. She's determined to expose every last one.

But what happens when the truth destroys her more than it destroys him?
