Downloading The Art of Lying Close

Vanessa “Vane” Moretti is a ghost. A high-level Syndicate enforcer with ink-stained skin and a reputation for cold-blooded efficiency, she’s the most valuable asset in the city’s criminal underground. But Vane didn't get caught—she got placed. Locked inside the soundproof, high-tech "Glass Box," she has one mission: find the final piece of a digital weapon that could burn Chicago to the ground.
Kira Sterling is the iron-willed security specialist holding the key. Disciplined, clinical, and buried in her work, Kira lives by the protocol until she looks into the eyes of the woman in Cell 402. There, she finds a secret from her own fractured past—a tattoo that matches her father’s final, desperate sketches.
Between the bars and the surveillance cameras, a visceral game of psychological warfare begins.
To Kira, Vanessa is a predator who needs to be broken. To Vanessa, Kira is the soft target who holds her freedom. But when the security grid flickers and the lights go out, the line between captor and captive dissolves into a haze of raw, illicit desire.
In the dark, they master the Art of Lying Close. It’s a world of muffled gasps, the friction of tactical gear against bare skin, and a desperate, shivering search for an orgasm that feels like the only truth in a world built on lies.
But the Warden is watching. The Syndicate is coming to silence them both. And the "safe house" waiting for them is a kill zone.
As the building burns and the sirens wail, Kira must decide: stay a guard in a corrupt system, or become an outlaw for the woman who ruined her discipline but saved her soul. In a race against zero hour, they’ll have to learn that the most dangerous thing about lying close isn't getting caught—it’s falling in love with the enemy.
