Betrayed

Nineteen years after she was raped, Mimi Bailey makes a desperate attempt to protect her secret when she returns to the scene of the crime.

Setrina “Mimi” Bailey is carrying a nineteen-year-old secret that she’d like to remain hidden forever. However, a move to Durham, North Carolina, threatens to expose the truth and forever disrupt the lives of those she’s protected all those years.

Mimi was raped by Victor Christianson, her best friend’s fiance, while they were in college. Later, Mimi gives birth to Afrika, now eighteen years old and college bound. But when Afrika is shot, Mimi’s distraught husband, Raphael, is obsessed with finding who shot Afrika, and in his quest to do so, he learns much more—his wife’s secret, which means he’s not Afrika’s father, and Victor may be the shooter.

A complex tale of mystery and suspense, Betrayed explores the fine line between passion and power...and what we’ll do to protect the ones we love.
