The Captain Who Read My Lies

Some places are meant to be left behind.

Some names are better left forgotten.

And some truths were never meant to be uncovered.

Her lover's death was ruled a cold case.

The evidence vanished. The truth was buried. And the people responsible remained beyond reach.

Refusing to let the past rest, Sage Astraea follows a trail of secrets that leads to a powerful family and a foreign military officer whose name is woven through every missing piece.

A prestigious psychology internship inside an overseas military program becomes her way in.

Her opportunity.

Her obsession.

But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she finds herself entangled with Captain Rorschach.

Charming. Elusive. Dangerous.

A man who always seems one step ahead, as though he can read every intention she tries to hide.

What begins as a search for justice soon becomes a battle of deception, buried loyalties, and forbidden attraction.

Because revenge demands sacrifice.

Truth demands blood.

And the man standing closest to her may be hiding secrets as devastating as her own.

The Captain who read her lies.
