Shadows of the Past (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230837909)

In the serene coastal town of Camano Island, Blake seeks a fresh start, far from the shadows of a tumultuous past that haunts her every step. Once a veterinarian filled with promise, life has reduced her to survival mode. Working as a prep cook in the renowned Lot 28 and starting up a new friendship with Trish, the owner of The Nestled Inn, she begins to heal and rediscover her passion for veterinary medicine. But as she inches toward normalcy, the ghost of her past re-emerges, threatening the sanctuary she's painstakingly built for herself and her daughter. Amidst all this, she finds herself having unexpected feelings for a certain chef who wants to be her knight in shining armor.

Meanwhile, Sarah is grappling with her own set of challenges. Removed from the hospital ward and the young leukemia patient she cherishes because of her high-risk pregnancy, Sarah finds herself navigating the quiet of home and contending with her fiancé Aaron's mysterious behaviors that shake the very foundations of their future together. When her nightmares materialize, Sarah must delve deep within herself to rise above self-pity and despair, summoning the strength to fight for everything she holds dear.

Blake's journey of reclaiming her strength is interlaced with the threat lurking in the shadows, while Sarah's story weaves through the heartache of love and loss, the fragility of life, and the unwavering hope that underpins her every action.
