Blossom Springs is supposed to be safe. Quiet. Predictable. Untouched by the kind of darkness that destroys lives. When falsified land permits expose a pattern no one wants to see, Ronan Cross is sent in under deep cover. His job is to find the source, contain the threat, and vanish without ever being noticed. The fewer people who know the truth, the safer everyone is. Lila Bennett knows Blossom Springs inside and out.

As the town's administrator, she's spent her life protecting the community she loves. When her office is breached and critical records disappear, she realizes someone is quietly rewriting the town's future-and she may be standing in their way. Ronan can't tell Lila who he really is. Lila knows he's hiding something-but her instincts tell her he's not the danger. As pressure mounts and the threat turns personal, Ronan is forced to choose between mission parameters and the woman who's become his greatest vulnerability. Because in a town built on secrets, loving the wrong person can get you killed. In the Shadows is a small-town romantic suspense novel featuring an elite covert operative, a strong and capable heroine, slow-burn chemistry, and a complete love story-set against the opening moves of a conspiracy that will change Blossom Springs forever.
