Agent Lexi Steele is an operative for Recovery
Enforcement Division, RED, an off shoot of NSA. RED has
strict rules against agents fraternization. The sexual
conduct between Nick Donovan, her supervising partner, and
Lexi is grounds for firing, but it is beyond their ability
to stop their hot need for each other. Although Lexi has
admitted to Nick her past and reasons for joining the team,
he's been withholding his secret.
It is Christmas season. Their clandestine task force
has been engaged in tracking down Big Bad Wolf, Anders
Hagstedt, for his true identity and whereabouts for the
past few months. Agent Chandra Kerrison deciphers an
invaluable message their inside person has passed along.
Hagstedt is expected in Manhattan within the next two
weeks. They can put a stop to his illegal human
trafficking, including the kidnapping and prostituting of
young girls.
Lexi needs Nick's support to keep her balanced and on
target when she learns her mother is gravely ill. RED has
worked too hard to get this close to Hagstedt and shutting
down his organization. Another opportunity might be months
from now. Too many innocents could be injured and killed if
they delay or let her emotions cloud her job. She can't
drop her assignment. Not when they're within weeks of
bringing Hagstedt down.
They put into motion Operation Little Red Riding Hood
and abduct Madame Cherie. Lexi sets herself up to be a
madame with Agent Kerrison in a sleazy prostitution house.
Nick has a vested interest in bringing Hagstedt to justice.
His little sister was one of their victims. He's willing to
call his unethical means legal to infiltrate their den.
THE SECOND BETRAYAL by Cheyenne McCray is the
continuing novel of an undercover ops to find and bring to
justice a criminal. Ms. McCray scenes and portrayals of the
criminals can be hard and blunt. The only person's life
they value is their own. However she also shows that in the
performance of their jobs the agents find peace from their
past crimes and victimization, and find hope for the
future.
As an undercover agent for the NSA’s
Recovery Enforcement Division, Alexi Steele is no stranger
to the ways and means of the country’s most notorious sex
criminals. Still, she’s never seen anything quite like
this. Girls from across the globe are being recruited for
a modeling competition in New York City, only to end up as
enslaved prostitutes. Now it’s up to Lexi and her partner—
and lover—Nicholas Donovan to infiltrate the operation.
Finding the mastermind behind the sex trafficking
is only one half of the challenge. The other is Nick. Even
though she has always trusted him, Lexi can’t help but
wonder whether he’s keeping something from her—a shocking
secret from his past on the Special Forces unit.
Meanwhile, time is running out for the victims…and Lexi
may be forced to do the unthinkable to see that the job is
done.
