This book was originally released under another pen name. I'm excited to share it again—now published as Patti Ann Stafford.

This book introduces CORE Sector, but can be read as a stand alone.

When Charlotte McDougal uncovers her grandmother's journals, she never expected they'd contain dark secrets tied to notorious serial killers Burke and Hare. Inspired by the revelations, she publishes a novel based on her findings--only to have her life threatened after its release.

To protect her, family friend and lawyer Gavin Daniels sends Charlotte into hiding in the United States. But safety is short-lived, and soon she's on the run from a covert group determined to silence her.

Enter Frank Temple, an ex-cop and Charlotte's enigmatic neighbor. He offers his protection, but Charlotte isn't sure who to trust. Is Frank truly her ally, or could he be part of the very conspiracy hunting her down?

With danger closing in, Charlotte must decide how far she's willing to go to survive--and how much she's willing to risk by trusting a man whose motives remain a mystery.

Suspense, romance, and high-stakes espionage collide in Betrayed--a slightly thrilling cozy mystery.
