CRUEL TRUTH
Justice has two faces. One serves the law. The other demands payment in blood.
Vivian Erinn is not just a dominatrix. She is The Queen. The feared Mistress of the Shadows Club, she wears cruelty like armor to shield the dark wounds of her past. By day, she rules the club. By night, she slips behind the mask of the "Red Demon," hunting down the monsters the law let walk free. She is driven by a single purpose: to avenge the death of her childhood friend and protect the innocent.
But in the life of every ruler, there comes a moment when the throne begins to shake.
Major Faye Harold, a tough-as-nails Miami detective, didn't come to the club to play. She is on the hunt. Her target is the mysterious vigilante leaving a trail of bodies in her wake. But when Faye steps into Vivian's crimson-lit empire, the investigation takes a dangerously personal turn.
The tension simmering between these two women is more than just a battle between law and sin; it is a collision of two dominant wills. Faye represents order. Vivian commands chaos. And the desire that ignites between them is just as dangerous as the secret that keeps them apart.
When Vivian's past returns to haunt her and a young girl's life hangs in the balance, The Queen must make a choice. Will she reveal her true self to the woman who could put her behind bars? Or will she sacrifice love on the altar of truth?
Two women. Two sides. One fatal attraction.
