Epic scams. Juicy secrets. A man whose love language is lies. Pearl Blackwood is waiting tables in San Francisco with dreams of one day opening her own restaurant when she meets Christopher McKinney: charming, sophisticated, a brilliant expert in deepfake technology, and the first person in her life who truly believes in her. Together, there's nothing they can't do. There's just one little problem-he also happens to be a psychopath. As Pearl falls for Christopher and their lives become entwined, the line between fantasy and reality blurs. Everything is a mind game and nothing is what it seems. And the more she tries to free herself from his grip, the tighter it becomes. She can move to a new city. She can begin again. But she soon learns she can never escape him. Buckle up, Pearl. It's about to get real. Pearl in Deep is one of the Jolvix Episodes, standalone psychological thrillers set in the same universe.
