But an unfamiliar lock on his phone, a late-night message from "EM," and too many unexplained absences slowly turn one impossible suspicion into a devastating truth.Derek Vale has his own reasons for watching Emilee closely. Tall, tattooed, powerful, and infuriatingly arrogant, he is the last person Sloane wants interfering in her marriage. But when their spouses' lies begin connecting, Derek becomes the only person willing to tell her the truth-and the only one who understands exactly what it feels like to have an entire life unravel.As betrayal reaches far beyond the bedroom, Sloane must uncover what Julian has risked, reclaim everything he tried to take from her, and decide whether the dangerous pull between her and Derek is merely shared heartbreak-or the beginning of something neither of them saw coming.Betrayed is a steamy, emotionally charged romance filled with forbidden attraction, devastating secrets, revenge, healing, and a slow-burning connection between two people who refuse to remain collateral damage.
