Deception — Sarah Peis

Not all villains deserve redemption. When Everleigh Bennet's brother disappears without a trace in the wilderness of Guyana, she sets off on a trip to find him; and soon finds herself caught up with the local cartel. Out of options and time, she finds solace in the most unlikely of places. Lucius Costa never thought he'd be capable of betraying his team. But to save his daughter, he became the very thing he'd always despised: A traitor. Cast out, he takes on an impossible mission that leads him back on a dark path he thought he'd never walk again. But when shy Everleigh burst into his life, he knows in order to save her, he'll risk it all. Even if it means missing his one chance at redemption. This is the second book in the Locked Security series and a single dad, forced proximity romantic suspense. Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I'd like to point out that this is a steamy romance, and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on. There's no cheating and all my books have a HEA.
