Four Washington DC graduate students plunge into an elite and addictive world of clandestine nightlife, political power players, prostitution, and secret societies in this sexy, stylish psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Karrine Steffans.

From the former video vixen known as Superhead, the twisty debut thriller for fans of Liv Constantine, Kellye Garrett, Rachel Howzell Hall, Sally Hepworth, Stone Cold Fox by Rachel Koller Croft and Celine Saintclare’s Sugar, Baby.


Yasmina, Jacqueline, Vivian, Rebecca. As different as can be, they agree on one thing--there's definitely more to life than all study and no party. Yaya in particular can't wait to start fresh, now that she's far away from her controlling mother--and the family past no one will talk about. And what better way than the tantalizing playground to which Yaya and her friends have suddenly gained entrance. There they meet the country's most powerful political figures, enjoy the most exclusive events and mood-boosting "favors," and experience a wild new level of passion . . . 

Until Jackie becomes pregnant--and won't give up her baby--or her love for a charismatic senator. Determined not to be dismissed or swept aside, the group quits the seductive nightlife for good and makes plans to get their stories heard. But Yaya soon discovers she and her friends have been lured into a powerful secret society's devious, centuries-old game--one that no one ever walks away from . . . 

As events take a shocking, dangerous turn, Yaya finds that her own links to the cabal run blood-deep--a legacy of exploitation, conspiracy, and brutal lies that are all too personal. Now between lethal mind games and forces resolved to keep the truth forever buried, Yaya must decide what she's willing to lose—and willing to risk—if she's ever going to blow the cover off the corrupt House of Ill Repute. But on this merciless chessboard, there are no guarantees—especially survival . . .

This is the story of a house built on lies––lies between mothers and daughters, politicians and the public, men and women, narrator and reader…
