Betrayal

July 1927 is scalding in Alabama, and it's not just the humidity. A season of civil unrest sweeps the state as Mobile Police Department motorcycle officer Jim Abbott strives to endure another summer working traffic patrol. Job stresses, financial burdens, and mounting concerns over his adopted son pushing the boundaries with his growing telekinetic abilities have Jim at the boiling point.

Fourteen-year-old Ernest Abbott is eager to win the heart of his first love. Even after months of private training to hone his telekinesis gives him a perceived edge over the competition, Ernest still thinks he lacks what a society girl wants. When an old family friend enters the young man's life with an offer to tutor him in the romance department, Ernest accepts the help.

With the allure of power, money, and his heart's desire within his grasp, Ernest must decide where his loyalties lie in the final novel of the Washington Square Secrets quartet.
