A Black Lotus Thriller - Book One

Private investigator Lila Voss has spent years chasing shadows--ever since her mother vanished without a trace. But when a mysterious man walks into her office claiming to know what happened that night, she finds herself drawn into a world of seduction, secrets, and forbidden power.

As Lila uncovers the truth, she descends into the hidden world of the Black Lotus--an elite network where trauma unlocks memory, pain awakens truth, and desire becomes a weapon.
