Betray (verb): to deliver to an enemy by treachery
Sold to a sex trafficker by her drug-dealing boyfriend, Phebe Lawson possessed first-hand knowledge of the secrets of betrayal. She’d given up all hope. Her life no longer held any meaning. She would have wished for death to come and take her away, except, she knew wishes were wasted on people like her. Until the day he entered her life. He was a beacon of light in the bleakness she called existence. His arrival sparked a longing inside her that, maybe, hope wasn’t a useless emotion after all.
Heal (verb): to make sound or whole
Donovan Jeffries was the charming one. The flirty, social Dom of the local BDSM club, Eden. He thought he’d found the perfect submissive. Until she betrayed him with another. He closed himself off, vowing to never give his heart to another woman. Until the day she entered his life. Her despair touched a part of his soul he’d thought forever lost, and he would move heaven and earth to piece all her broken parts back together.

Review
Phebe Lawson has been looking for love her whole life. She thought she'd met her Prince Charming until things turned horribly wrong. And just as she felt completely broken she gets rescued. Then he came into her life and she finds everything she ever wanted, needed, and desired.
Donovan Jeffries has been burned by a sub before and isn't ready to make that commitment again any time soon. But one look at her and his whole soul came alive. Now he'll do everything he can to make she just how strong she it, how special she is, and just how much he'd do to protect her.
Two people hurt differently yet very similarly work together to heal each other. And when Phebe's past comes back, their bond will be tested. Will Donovan be able to save her before it's too late? Or will this be the event that finally breaks Phebe once and for all?
Secrets of Betrayal is dark, suspenseful read that will keep you on the edge of your seat guessing what twists and turns will happen next.
I love how Donovan and Phebe approach their relationship, it's sweet, sexy, caring, and thoughtful. The fact the Phebe went through so much trauma and yet can be open to a new relationship is endearing.
I love the slow burn between Donovan and Phebe, they get to know each other and learn to trust again. Donovan's patience is amazing and Phebe's willingness to learn about Donovan's BDSM life terrific.
I really enjoyed this page turning read and really admired Phebe's strength and determination. This a dark read that will captivate the reader from start to finish and I would highly recommend it.
