Publisher's Summary

Everyone lies. When working for a sex mage, it's the only way to stay safe.

That's the first thing Jaeda learns when she's named as the Chosen. The mage needs a sacrifice, and she's willing to give it. Maybe too willing. After all, this man is lust incarnate; a woman would have to be insane not to want him, even if he is dangerous.

But desiring someone's body is very different from falling in love. In her line of work, the two must never be confused. She doesn't even know his name! He's simply The Jackal, a terrifyingly powerful sex mage, and she's his altar. Her lust fuels him. He needs it.

And that puts her in control.

Now, she gets to spend her days with a mage who wields sex like a weapon and his assistant who's as irresistible as some long-lost god brought to life. The things they do to her body are amazing, and the rest? These men want to spoil her with the kind of riches she's always dreamed of. t's the best job she can imagine.

Unfortunately, it's never that easy. This is supposed to be about making magic - that's it. Feelings have no place in a mage's temple. Affection is a curse. But when the enemy decides she'll make the perfect weapon to steal the Jackal's power, what's she supposed to do? After all, she's just a stupid girl caught in the middle. Her job is to just lie back and take it.

Except, someone's been lying.

It might even be her.

Power of Lies is intended for a mature audience due to the presence of consensual scenes, group scenes, M/M scenes, and plenty of vulgar language - as well as some potentially triggering violence - since the bad guys don't always play nice. While this is a love story, it may not be right for all listeners.

Original and engaging!

I love this storyline. I am excited to see where this story leads. I love all the characters so far, even the evil ones. I also need to mention how freaking AMAZING the narration is. this is possibly the best narrator I've ever heard, and I listen to an audiobook every two or three days. I am obsessed with Christina Cato's voice and acting. I cannot wait to buy book 2!
