The Deception: A High-Octane Action Adventure and Romantic Suspense Novel of Human Trafficking (Maximum Security)

When missing turns to murdered, one woman’s search for answers will take her to a place she never wanted to go…

After searching for her runaway sister for two long years, Kate Gallagher is devastated when she’s called to the morgue to identify Chrissy’s body, clearly the victim of a brutal attack. Guilt and grief send Kate into a tailspin. She failed Chrissy once…she won’t do it again. Even if finding her sister’s killer means following a lethal bounty hunter into the heart of darkness, placing both their lives in danger.

Working at Maximum Security has taken Jason Maddox down some dangerous paths, but never for a client he’s so drawn to, or for a case so monstrous. As clues lead them deeper into the city’s underbelly, connections to human trafficking draw them closer and closer to peril, but even Jase’s warnings can’t convince Kate to walk away. As the deadly operation puts a target on their backs, they’ll have to decide what matters most: the truth…or their lives.
