Shadow of Love

Shadow of Love

â€œLove leads to chaos and destructionâ€.

Itâ€™s as simple as that, at least for James McMaster. He had learnt from early on that trust and unconditional love end badly. Both his motherâ€™s failed relationship with his rich and absent father and his mentorâ€™s marriage to a scrupulous and selfish woman taught him the lesson not to carry his heart on his sleeve. The man who had turned Jamesâ€™ life around in the darkest of his teenage years, died alone and rejected. Ridiculous accusations that prompted such ending left James incredulous and furious, the heat of his anger never completely leaving him in the years that followed.

It is impossible to escape the past, his mentorâ€™s suicide and the events that lead to it still very much on his mind. The fate has given him the rare opportunity to finally settle the scores. Avenging Steve Masdenâ€™s death is simply too tempting to be ignored.

Emily Beggins knows right away that something isnâ€™t right about her stepsisterâ€™s mysterious fiancÃ©. He might well be the most handsome and charming man she has ever met, but there is a certain icy resolve in his eyes that frightens her witless. Behind the impeccable faÃ§ade and lethal smile, she senses something dark and dangerous. Something that shouldnâ€™t really be thereâ€¦

Loyalty has always been a big part of her character, even though her life with her stepmother and stepsister had proven far more challenging and difficult than she had ever anticipated. They share enough memories and dirty secrets to bind them together with the invisible thread of guilt and obligations. Saving Sophie from the unknown disaster leaves Emily no choice but to confront the man who had managed to capture her stepsisterâ€™s heart in a span of mere days.

Only James isnâ€™t ready to play fair, one sweep of his hand pushing aside any hopes she might have for a happy ending. He knows too much and cares too little to have any sympathy for her or her family.

She has to play by his rules, each step taking her deeper and deeper into his world. Soon it becomes her world too and the lines between black and white blur, nothing certain any longer.

As time goes by the question of how to survive being around James becomes replaced by another, more urgent one.

How will she ever live without him?
