Genre: contemporary romance
Sometimes the past is right in front of you…
Heather Conrad has a chance to start over. Thirty days to
forget a painful breakup and work on a business plan while house-sitting for
her former boss. But last-minute changes leave Heather in charge of watching a
lakeside Victorian mansion and her boss’s seven-year-old daughter, Izzy. Then
unsettling events convince Heather something isn’t right around the house.
Security systems installer Ryan Tobin’s goal is to become a
police detective. Within hours of meeting Heather, they discover secret doors
and a hidden stairway leading to clues of a turn-of=the-century maid who may
have been a passenger on the Titanic. Ryan helps search for answers…while using
his detective skills to protect Heather
and Izzy from a possible stalker.
As fear escalates and questions about the pass and the
present multiply, will Ryan and Heather find answers in hundred-year-old words,
an old steamer trunk…and each other?
TODAY’S SHADOWS is part of the Lost Sanctuary series, but it easily stands alone. I hadn’t read
any of the books in this series and had no trouble keeping up. The first two
books are Tomorrow’s Sun and Yesterday’s Stardust (not necessarily in
that order) for those who want to read the complete series.
I enjoyed getting to know Heather and Ryan and Izzy added a
nice twist. I thought I had the plot
and storyline figured out, but I had some really unexpected surprises along the
way. This book is not predicable. It was a fun modern day romance set in a
historical mansion with secrets of it’s own. Another parallel historical
romance is included, worked into the story.
If you like contemporary romances then don’t miss TODAY’S SHADOWS.
