In the gritty underworld of New York's criminal elite, Elizabeth Black is no stranger to the shadows. Underground fighting and rubbing shoulders with gangsters were nothing more than a standard Tuesday for her. But when a high-stakes deal unravels, she realizes she's stepped into a realm darker than she ever imagined. There's no escaping the consequences of her actions this time.
 
After brazenly robbing one of the city's most feared gun syndicates, Lizzy finds herself indebted to its ruthless leader, Ryder Elliot—a man with a penchant for power and control. Yet Lizzy's troubles are more than just financial; they're a tangled web of lies and betrayal.
 
Ryder and Lizzy's connection is anything but conventional; it's a collision of twisted desires and dangerous obsessions, threatening to consume them both. As they plunge deeper into a world of deception, manipulation, and pride, they must confront the demons that lurk in their past—or risk being consumed by them.
Formerly known as "Semi-Automatic" by Hana Blue C, "When You Lie" is a chilling reimagining of a tale that once held readers in its grip, reaching the coveted number one spot in the action genre on several reading platforms. Do you dare descend into the depths of deceit and desire, where the truth is but a fleeting illusion?
 
When you lie, the darkness consumes all.
