Judas Kiss — Karen L. McKee

Seven years ago Assistant Deputy Warden Deena Hunter left policing to deal with family obligations. Her drive for justice drew her to a career in Corrections, where she's advanced up the Correction Centre ladder faster than anyone before her. Her carreer may have thrived, but she's sworn off personal relationships due to a failed marriage and an ugly affair. Years ago, Police Officer Rich Webster almost ended his engagement when he fell for the intense, young police officer he trained. He went through with the wedding, but since then his marriage ended. He still carries the guilt of marrying a woman he shouldn't have, and the loss of the one who got away. The suspicious death of a jailhouse informant leaves Deena with the dangerous choice of investigating, or complying with orders. When her police contact turns out to be Rich Webster, old sparks ignite. Together they begin to uncover layers of betrayal and passion that they never imagined. They learn evil can linger anywhere â€" even in those you love and trust the most. But in the locked-down world of Corrections, it's a discovery that might come too late.
