He left without a word. She never stopped asking why. Now he's back, and the man she's about to marry is hiding something deadly.

Ten years ago, Josh walked out of Molly's life and never looked back. Or so she believed.

The truth is, he never had a choice.

Now he has returned to the coastal town where it all began, determined to find out what really happened to the father who vanished without a trace. He came back for answers. He didn't come back for her.

But Molly is still there. Still the one person he has never been able to forget. And she is wearing another man's ring.

When Josh asks for her help, Molly agrees out of loyalty to the boy she once loved. She tells herself it means nothing. She tells herself she is happy. She tells herself a lot of things.

Then the warnings begin.

A threat delivered on a late train. An old man found dead. Whispers of a gang with a long memory and a reason to keep the past buried. Every answer Josh uncovers leads somewhere darker, and every step brings the danger closer to Molly's door.

Because someone in this town knows exactly what happened to Josh's father. Someone who has been watching. Someone who is far closer to Molly than she could ever imagine.

The man she has promised to marry is not who he claims to be. And in the shadows, he answers to another name.

As old feelings return and the net tightens, Josh and Molly must decide what they are willing to risk for the truth, and for each other. Because some secrets are worth killing for. And some loves are worth dying for.

Love in the Shadows is a gripping romantic suspense novel of second chances, forbidden love and a past that refuses to stay buried. If you crave a slow-burn love story with real danger, an unforgettable coastal setting and a twist you won't see coming, this is the book you'll stay up all night to finish.
