Betrayal Of Trust — Tracey Victoria Bateman / Tracey Bateman

It was a hotly contested senatorial race, and Matthew Strong's unexplained decision to withdraw piqued Raven Mahoney's interest. This could be just the story to guarantee her success as a TV journalist, particularly since their past relationship increased the likelihood that Matthew would level with her.

It seemed things had changed dramatically in the Strong family -- the existence of Matthew's adopted daughter surprised Raven and raised uneasy questions. Or was this investigation just an excuse to ignore her questions about her own parentage? Even as Raven checked out the single father's story, someone was checking hers out, as well. And the closer their rekindled friendship grew, the closer Raven was coming to danger.
