Traitor

Peyton Rhodes is determined to live again. After losing her family to violence, all she wants is peace and a chance to rediscover her love of art, and of life. What she doesn't want can be summed up in two Ford Collier. Brooding and rude, Ford has secrets. Secrets that are dug up again when they discover a body on the banks of the lake behind his cabin. When small-town fingers point in all directions, the only people they can rely on are each other. Former U.S. Marine Ford Collier is back in the states after a perilous deployment without his team, his career, or the respect of his country. Secluded in the mountains of North Carolina, Ford doesn’t want anything to do with the the pretty blonde artist who gets under his skin. Even if he hadn’t been at the scene of the murder, Peyton would still be terrified of a man like him⁠—a man with violence in his blood. As dangerous complications arise–and passion heats up–it will take learning to trust again for Ford and Peyton to make it out alive.
