Author: Erin McCauley

Erin McCauley writes relationship fiction shaped by family obligations, broken trust, and the possibility of beginning again. Based in the Pacific Northwest, she is the author of the three-book Unlocked Secrets sequence published by Crimson Romance. The Betrayal is its third volume, following The Confession and The Truth. The novel centres on Marissa Neil, whose marriage collapses after a profound deception leaves her facing both emotional and practical consequences. Jordan Wayne, a police officer and her former high-school sweetheart, remains a steady friend while hoping for another chance with her. Their renewed connection is complicated by a custody dispute involving Marissa’s adopted daughter and by further uncertainties surrounding the family she thought she knew. Published in 2013, The Betrayal closes the series by tying its romantic development to questions of loyalty, parenthood, and recovered confidence. McCauley keeps the focus on how personal bonds are tested when legal pressures and earlier choices can no longer be avoided.
