In Dee Henderson’s novella “Betrayal,” Janelle Roberts is freed–thanks to people she doesn’t know–after serving six years of a twenty-year sentence for a murder she did not commit. But a murderer is still at large, and Janelle needs to be somewhere safe with someone she can trust. She may not survive another betrayal.
In Dani Pettrey’s “Deadly Isle,” Tennyson Kent is trapped on the isolated island of her childhood by a storm surge, and she is shocked when the typically idyllic community turns into the hunting grounds of a murderer. Cut off from any help from the mainland, will she and first love Callen Frost be able to identify and stop a killer bent on betrayal before they become the next victims?
In Lynette Eason’s “Code of Ethics,” trauma surgeon Ruthie St. John saves the life of Detective Isaac Martinez. After a betrayal leads to him getting shot and then attacked while in recovery, Isaac is now a key witness determined to testify. But someone is intent on silencing him–and those around him–forever. Together, Ruthie and Isaac go on the run, desperate to escape the killers hunting him.
FAITH WILL BE TESTED. TRUST SHATTERED.
THREE BESTSELLING ROMANTIC SUSPENSE WRITERS REUNITE
FOR NOVELLAS OF DEADLY BETRAYAL.
The Cost of Betrayal contains three novellas written by three talented authors that are each filled with suspense, action, mystery, romance and faith. All three of these authors are accomplished writers with many of their own novels, so it’s pretty unique that they’ve gotten together for this one!
The main characters in all three novellas have one thing in common – betrayal, of course! Each of the stories focuses on readers discovering who the actual betrayer is.
Betrayed is the longest story at approximately 140 pages while Deadly Isle and Code of Ethics are both approximately 110 pages.
The novellas are not tied together, but they are each very unique and hold your attention from page 1 to the end. The stories themselves are standalones, but you won’t be able to keep yourself from moving to the next story! With these well established authors, you won’t be disappointed in this collection of stories of betrayal.
