A life in danger is always a bad thing, but when three couples can find
their way through to a happy ending it's a great way to end a story. In
THE COST OF BETRAYAL, Dee
Henderson, Dani Pettry, and Lynette Eason each write stories with
danger, intrigue, and betrayal in several different forms. They show that
you can find or reconnect with the love of your life through adversity
and forgiveness. When your life is in danger, you need help and a
connection to God to get through.
Betrayal by Dee Henderson: Ann and Paul Falcon are bargain hunting at
a large auction. Ann's eye is caught by a box of dresser drawer items.
She wins the bidding and when she gets the box home, she finds a
jewelry box and a pink monogrammed pocket knife. She's curious who
the box belonged to, so using her skills from her former job as an FBI
agent and Ann starts digging. As Ann and her husband Paul do more
research, they find out there is a murder attached to the box, and the
person who owned the box may have been wrongly accused. They
don't have enough evidence to get the verdict overturned but enough
to get her a pardon from the governor. With the pardon in hand, they
head to the prison and walk out with Janelle, who is shocked and
overjoyed to be set free after spending almost 7 years in prison. Ann
does everything she can to help Janelle and wants to work with her to
figure out who framed her for murder. But when a suspect is found,
Janelle doesn't believe someone she thought she had trusted could
betray her in this way... Can Ann truly help Janelle make her way
through these difficult discoveries, after being deceived for so long?
Deadly Isle by Dani Pettry: Tennyson "Teni" Kent and her cousin are
taking a last swim before the end of the season to take her mind off her
broken engagement. When she arrives at the buoy, her cousin is
nowhere around to be seen... She eventually finds her cousin's body,
and Ten is devastated because her cousin was more like a sister to her.
Callen, Teni's ex-boyfriend, made the biggest mistake of his life 10
years ago by letting Teni go after he didn't fight to keep her in his life.
Even though Teni is grieving her cousin and hasn't really trusted men
since her breakup with him, Called can't deny he still has feelings for
her and wants to try to win her back. They start to reconnect, but Teni
is still on edge after cousin's murder. Disturbing things happen, and
Teni suspects she's being flooded and someone is trying to hurt her as
well...
Code of Ethics by Lynette Eason: Ruthie St. John is a trauma surgeon
and her current patient is a cop named Issac. He keeps trying to tell her
about someone in trouble. After a successful surgery, he's recovering
but wants to leave because he isn't safe. About to leave on vacation,
Ruthie makes one last visit to Issac before she goes, and finds a
strange man going him a shot, but he runs away before she can find out
who he is. Ruthie believes that Issac is in danger, and decides to help
him by smuggling him out of the hospital. Ruthie's mother, the chief of
police, helps them with keeping Issac safe. But will Ruthie's good deed
put her in more danger than any of them thought possible?
Through THE COST OF BETRAYAL,
these three authors have written three stories of love of God and
between a man and woman with emotion, suspense, and love. How to
overcome the betrayal of someone you love or should have had your
back, with His help. I hope that you will enjoy these stories as much as I
did. I can't wait for more from Dee Henderson, Dani Pettry, and Lynette
Eason.
In Dee Henderson's novella "Betrayed," 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.
