She said yes-then the ghost of her past walked into the room. Hanna thought she'd pieced her life back together: meaningful work, a safe home for her daughter, and a man who'd burn the world to keep them breathing. But the city's underworld doesn't forgive, and it doesn't forget. When old enemies rise and a dead man refuses to stay buried, the line between safety and survival snaps. Inside the shadows of organized crime and the wreckage of trauma, Hanna finds herself in a fight she never chose-one that threatens everything she's rebuilt. Every choice carries a cost, every lie hides a consequence, and love itself becomes a risk she can't afford to lose. Told with a survivor's eye and a protector's grit, Beyond the Truth is a dark, unflinching psychological thriller threaded with a slow, deeply felt romance. Expect relentless tension, moral knots, and the kind of love that holds steady when everything else breaks. Book Two in The Lies That Bind Us series. For the best reading experience, start with Book One, The Lies We Whisper. CW: domestic/sexual violence, stalking, abduction, PTSD. Resources provided.
Sophia Zane is a trauma-forward author of psychological suspense, writing for women who carry scars. Her emotionally charged thrillers explore the fragility of memory, the weight of trauma, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. With layered narratives and morally complex characters, her stories dive deep into the minds of survivors, criminals, and those caught in between, where truth is never simple and secrets rarely stay buried. A former interviewer and researcher, Sophia blends lived experience with emotional depth to ensure authenticity on every page. She is passionate about telling stories that resonate, especially with readers who have felt voiceless or unseen. She lives in Virginia with a small army of rescue animals and can usually be found curled up with a good book, a strong cup of coffee, and her cat Kevin, who insists on supervising everything. She is a proud member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association. Her debut novel, The Lies We Whisper, launches The Lies That Bind Us series. While The Lies We Whisper is a work of fiction, its character dynamics and psychological depth were inspired by interviews Sophia conducted with real-life inmates. Book Two, Beyond the Truth-also shaped by this research-is currently in the works and scheduled for release later this year.
