Summary
Secrets and Deceptions is book 3 in the Saddle Creek series by Lorelei Confer. This book stood alone as I have not read the other books in the series and didn’t feel that I had missed anything. I do think Chase’s story would be great.
This is a book of high school sweethearts finding their way back together after several misunderstandings. Dillon enlists in the military to find his way right after high school. Dillion ends up in special forces and on missions that are classified. He was captured and help hostage for 18 months. After escaping he gets out of the service to come home to Avri.
Avri has put herself through law school and is now a successful lawyer. She has been waiting for Dillion to come home and has not understood why he never wrote her. She has some secrets of her own.
They come together when her life is being threatened.
