PROMISES IN THE DARK is the second book in Stephanie Tyler's Shadow Force series and brings back Dr. Olivia Stohm and Zane Scott who were introduced in Lie with Me.

Zane has been obsessed with finding Olivia since he failed to rescue her when she was abducted by a terrorist group. Her anguished screams have haunted him. Zane finally tracks her to a small village in Sierra Leone, only to discover she has managed to escape from her captors and feels no further need for rescue. He can't comprehend her unwillingness to return home and finds himself trapped between her wishes and his promise to her family to return her to them; not to mention his own attraction to this courageous and beautiful woman. Olivia, afraid to put her loved ones at risk and unsure of what it means to lead a normal life, plans to hide out traveling from village to village providing medical care to as many people as she can along the way. When the terrorists discover her location, she and Zane must work together to make it home.

Fans of action-adventure romantic suspense will thoroughly enjoy PROMISES IN THE DARK. Ms. Tyler has written an action-packed story filled with complex emotions and deep passions. Olivia and Zane, both wounded in their own ways, make an intriguing couple. Unresolved secondary plot lines will leave you eagerly anticipating the next book in the series, In the Air Tonight, due out August 2011.
