Betrayed

The Witness Protection Program claims it can keep anyone safe if only the person follows the rules…so Maria follows the rules. Every rule. She gives up everything–her friends, her family, her past, even her name–to ensure her daughter has a future.
Reborn as Veronica Minor, Maria struggles to build a new life amid the beauty of her flower shop in the sleepy little town of Sunberry, Ohio. A life where her daughter can have a happy normal childhood. A life where her daughter will never know that her father was a monster.
When a child disappears, Veronica prays it has nothing to do with her past, but what if she’s wrong?
Not knowing whom to trust, she trusts no one…and that’s her first mistake, because the nightmare isn’t over–her dead husband just called from the grave.
