Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals is the first book in the Protect and Honor Series . This is a Romance Suspense that pulled me in from the beginning and had me on the edge of my seat turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This story is packed with drama, action, suspense , danger, secrets, lies, betrayal and so much more. This is a fairly new author to me and I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. Michaela Manning is a survivor of terrible tragedies from such a young age, at three years old she witnessed a terrible assassination of her grandfather the state senator and was shot in the process. She’s lived her life in hiding under a different name until her secret identity is leaked. She’s not safe but can Maxwell keep her protected this time? I don’t want to give away anything else. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.
