Fan favorite Sandra Chastain enthralls in this classic romance of secrets and suspense.
Some people call him the Shadow-an ex-special forces soldier with a gift for setting wrongs to right without leaving a trace. But to Erica Fallon, the Shadow has always been just Conner: the first man she ever let herself love and the one man she will never get over. She's tried to move on with her life, abandoning her passion for art and taking a prestigious position at the State Department. But she's never forgotten Conner...or had the chance to explain how everything went horribly wrong.
It's a moment burned on Conner Preston's mind forever. He doesn't need the scars to remind him of the pain of losing his brother-his best man-and being betrayed by his bride on the same day. Now Erica's life is in danger, and the Shadow-Conner-is the only one who can be trusted to protect her. But keeping his heart safe from the woman who once smashed it into pieces will not be easy. Keeping her alive will be even harder.
