DESCRIPTION:

Rae Smith, the gifted finder of lost children, is forced to return for one last kidnapping. With her grandmother’s life at stake, Rea takes on a private case that threatens more than her two year sobriety after leaving the FBI. The case is confusing and ill-advised. Unwanted emotions cloud her judgment. She might find the love of her life. Or she might lose her heart to the man responsible for the kidnapping.

REVIEWS:

"...I was lost in the storyline and the intense drama that unfolded. I came to understand why Rae is so worried and, at times, apprehensive about the visions she sees. Steven does not understand exactly what she is seeing, but wants to believe in her. Facing demons is never easy, but with Steven’s help, Rae is finally able to. Reading this book was, for me, an exhilarating and wonderful experience.  I really enjoyed the way it was written and for me, it will remain a keeper." Reviewed by Sheryl of Coffee Time Romance, 5 CUPS

"I loved this edgy, fast-paced novel about one woman’s journey to truly knowing herself and fully recovering from the losses of her past. The sparks fly whenever Rae and Steve touch, and as hard as she tries to keep their relationship all business, it progresses to much more. The paranormal aspects of this work kept me interested and on the edge of my seat. Rae’s gift is powerful and, combined with the feelings that she has for Steve, she is pulled in two different directions. Can she do the job she’s been hired to do without falling helplessly in love with the man who hired her?"
Reviewed by Michelle of Fallen Angel Reviews, 4 ANGELS

"Heart of Shadows is a well-written romantic suspense. Rae is a heroine that readers will come to love as she struggles to find a way to recover from the many losses in her life and figure out if Steve is a man she can trust. Steven is man who has guilty secrets that weigh heavily on him. The attraction between Rae and Steve is obvious from the first and draws the reader in while the mystery of who has kidnapped Steve’s niece will keep you guessing until the end. Heart of Shadows is definitely a recommended read." Reviewed by Melissa of Enchanted in Romance

Excerpt:

She stopped short as she rounded the last aisle. There he was. He was reading an old book, a treasure she found at the auction last year. It was a book of love poems written by an eighteenth century monk to a wealthy matron. The copy was handmade, bound in cloth, and written in the tortured monk's own hand.

Rae's heart was pounding. Whispers of sound buzzed through her head. Snatches of conversation and random thought tugged at her awareness. The scents from her shop mingled with the salty smell of the ocean on the night air. Control. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, fighting for serenity through the whirl of her emotions. She hadn't had a problem with control for so long.

He looked up. "Finished?"

"What do you want from me?"

"Just an answer."

He'd removed the hat, gloves, and coat. His face was arresting. Angular lines, high cheekbones, and a clever chin defined it. It reminded her of a painting she'd seen of the fairy king. His eyes were bright blue between dark lashes. His mouth had an ironic quirk to it. Either he had a wonderful sense of humor or he thought the world was a pretty strange place.

He watched her as closely as she watched him. Like two jaguars claiming the same prey. Straightening her spine, she pushed back a strand of her hair that always refused to be tamed by her clip. "You've waited a long time. You must be a very patient man."

"Not really. But sometimes, you have to be patient to get what you want."

"And what is it that you want?"

The blue gaze pinned her in place then assessed her slowly. "You.
