Betrayal taught her how to survive. Deception became her weapon.
Abandoned by her father and left to struggle through a cruel world, Vivian Carter learned early that men could not be trusted. Bullied and broken, she vowed never to be weak again. When she crosses paths with a secretive group of women-each scarred by betrayal-they offer her more than friendship. They offer her power.
Trained in the art of seduction, deception, and identity manipulation, Vivian becomes a master con artist, luring wealthy, married men into her web and bleeding them dry. For years, she thrives, untouchable, slipping through the cracks of the law as she and her sisters leave a trail of ruined men in their wake.
But loyalty is fragile, even among the betrayed. When one of their own falls in love and decides to leave, Vivian is furious, convinced her sister is walking into a trap. Determined to save her from making a terrible mistake, Vivian sets out to prove that all men are the same-and in doing so, sparks a chain of events that shatters everything.
With the police closing in and the sisterhood collapsing, Vivian is left to face the truth she has been running from her entire life. Was it all worth it? Or has she become the very thing she once despised?
In a world built on lies, the greatest deception is the one we tell ourselves.
