Brutal Truths

Brutal Truths

Falcon Global

Book 3

by C. R. Riley

Release Date: August 27, 2026

Undercover. Under fire. And completely under her spell.

There’s a difference between a lie… and a life built on one.

Turns out, I’ve been living the latter.

Now I’m trapped in a world that feels like a nightmare I can’t wake from, where every secret comes with a cost and every answer threatens to break me. The more I learn, the less I recognize the life I’ve been living.

Nothing about me is what I believed.

The man who should be my enemy is the only one who sees through the lies.

Aiden was never supposed to care. Not about me. Not about anyone. But whatever this is between us—it won’t let go. Not even when it should.

Lines blur. Loyalties shatter. And the closer we get to the truth, the harder it is to walk away.

Because some truths don’t just change you… they ruin you.

Brutal Truths is part of a duet and must be read in order. The story begins in Bitter Lies.

About the Author

C. R. Riley writes romance with love, heat, and heart—sometimes sweet, sometimes scorching, and always full of emotion. Her imperfect characters carry scars, secrets, complicated pasts, and plenty of baggage as they navigate everything from high-stakes suspense to family drama and second chances. Through the chaos, chemistry, heartbreak, and healing, one thing remains the same: love is always worth fighting for.
