Nobody knows that better than Shadow Harper. It seemed like
a dream come true when a rich, suave older man noticed her
during her second year of college. Stefan Stockman seemed to
love her obsessively. He came into her life and swept her
off her feet, seduced her, married her…and then slowly,
eventually, that dream come true became a living
nightmare.br>
Now, three years after she finally escaped him, she’s trying
to put her life back together. Haunted by memories,
struggling with post-traumatic stress, she spends most of
her time locked away in her home on Pawley’s Island, a small
town on the South Carolina coast. Her rare moments of joy
come from her trips to the nearby beach.
She compulsively checks the locks on her doors, makes sure
she has her cell phones—five of them—and if she misses
something on her schedule, it throws her into a panic.
When she accidentally leaves a sketchbook on the beach, an
anxiety attack seems imminent. Her art has become her
salvation, her sanity, and losing even one sketch is like
losing a piece of her soul. When she returns to hunt for the
sketchbook, already fearing it’s gone for good, she’s
surprised to find it still sitting there, saved by a sexy
fellow beach lover—the mysterious Dillian Jenkins.
He’s brash, bold, brutally handsome…and gentle. He’s the
exact opposite of the man who’d tormented her for years, and
Shadow finds herself slowly, almost reluctantly, falling for
him. Even obsessing over him.
When her ex-husband once again intrudes on the happiness
she’s finally discovering, Shadow turns to Dillian. But will
she find shelter there…or another betrayal?
