Bluejacket, Louisiana where she and her brother lived ten years before. She had never shared the secret surrounding her brother's death with anyone; not her husband who had since died in an accident and not her right hand man at her husband's construction company, Wade, but coming back home has stirred the waters and Logan is in trouble. When she is shot outside her hotel room, Wade realizes that it is time for him to be more than just Logan's best friend.

Betrayed starts out with a bang. Logan's brother is murdered, she is a witness, and she runs. We are thrown right into the action, but the story slows from there with a weak romance that doesn't even present itself until halfway through the book. Important characters are left virtually unexplored, especially Wade, the love interest and Andrew, the dead husband. The mystery is fairly predictable, especially since we get the voice of the killer throughout the book and it is pretty clear who it is. Overall, Betrayed is a story that held promise but did not deliver. ( )
