The Traitor

Spy. Liar. Scoundrel. Redcoat. Provocateur and spy for His Majesty, Captain John Carlisle returns to Fort Niagara with the secrets he learned in the arms of his lover, Dellis McKesson. Determined to complete his mission and clear his name, John will see justice done—and damn the consequences. Now, he finds himself drawn into political intrigue as the British prepare to launch a three-pronged attack that will bring the Rebels and the Mohawk River Valley to its knees. Meanwhile, a dangerous revelation finds Dellis as whispers of intrigue insinuate her beloved is not all that he seems. Unwilling to wait for John's return, she sets out in search of the truth as the Onieda begin negotiations with the Rebels, breaking the neutrality agreement with the crown. A bold move that will stoke a fire between the brother tribes and lead to a bloody inter-confederacy war—one Dellis predicted, and John incited. The punishing winter of 1777 brings the war between the colonies and the British to a standstill, creating the perfect opportunity for old enemies to settle scores, both lying in wait, ready to exploit John's one weakness—his heart. And John is not an innocent man. His time of reckoning has finally come; the truth he's tried to run from can no longer be ignored, ghosts from the past seeking justice, and karma demanding payment for sins so dark they cannot be forgiven. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS*** This book contains graphic violence and depictions of war, graphic language, period-appropriate language, misogyny, violence against women, sexual assault, and rape.
