Bitter Deceit

Bitter Deceit is a gripping crime drama set in a city where power is currency and betrayal is a way of life. Jasmine Varga didn't inherit her empire—she built it, block by block, betrayal by betrayal. Born into the shadows and hardened by the ruthless streets of a city that feeds on ambition and fear, Jasmine rose through the ranks not just by force, but by sheer intellect and strategy. Now, she stands at the top, commanding both the criminal underworld and the polished elite who pretend they don't answer to her. But power comes at a price. Every alliance is temporary, every loyalty conditional, and every move watched. As her empire expands, so do the threats—politicians with hidden agendas, businessmen with bloody hands, and former allies who now circle like vultures. Jasmine knows one truth better than anyone: the game doesn't end when you win. It ends when you stop playing. Caught between the ghosts of her past and the enemies of her present, Jasmine must navigate a deadly web of deception, ambition, and survival. In a world where weakness is fatal and trust is a liability, she will stop at nothing to stay in control—even if it means becoming the very monster she once feared. Perfect for fans of dark crime fiction, powerful female leads, and high-stakes urban thrillers, Bitter Deceit is a razor-sharp portrait of power, loyalty, and the cost of control in a world where no one plays fair.
