Crimson Secrets - Passion Bleeds Through Even When the Truth Cuts Deep

Lucian M. Crowe

Summary

At galas glittering with champagne and in boardrooms high above the city, power shifts with a smile. Behind the glass walls and careful handshakes, corruption hums like a quiet drumbeat no one admits to hearing.

She’s an ambitious aide, taught to trust the law and the safety of loyalty. He’s a man wrapped in charm and suspicion, praised and condemned in the same breath. When their paths cross, desire sparks but so do the lies.

What starts as attraction twists into something far riskier. Every encounter drags her further into his orbit, even as the evidence piles up that he doesn’t just bend rules he shatters them. Her superiors tell her the papers don’t lie. He swears her own eyes are the only truth. Caught between them, she begins to doubt not only him, but the very system she serves.

The line between justice and corruption, loyalty and betrayal, love and manipulation grows thinner with every choice.

Is she falling for the monster they warned her about or uncovering the real one in plain sight?
