For her entire life, Lisa Garth has felt like a supporting character in the drama of life. The designation never bothered her—until now. Lantern Beach, where she’s settled and runs a popular restaurant, has boarded up for the season. The slower pace leaves her with too much time alone.
Braden Dillinger came to Lantern Beach to try to heal. The former Special Forces officer returned from battle with invisible scars and diminished hope. But his recovery is hampered by the fact that an unknown enemy is trying to kill him.
From the moment Lisa and Braden meet, danger ignites around them, and both are drawn into a web of intrigue that turns their lives upside down. As shadows creep in, will Lisa and Braden be able to shine a light on the peril around them? Or will the encroaching darkness turn their worst nightmares into reality?
My thoughts: SHADOW OF INTRIGUE is the second book in Ms. Barritt's Lantern Beach romantic suspense series, but it stands alone. Lisa has been asked to help as hostess to Ty's friend who suffers from PTSD. But things turn bad quickly. Braden gets out of the shower to find a stranger in the kitchen and attacks her -- ready to kill.
This would be enough to send the normal person running from the man, but Lisa is built of sterner stuff and embraces the unusual (as evidenced by her cooking style) and welcomes Braden into her world.
When the "bad guy" was introduced into the story I knew who-dun-it. And when certain other things were mentioned I knew how. But it was a suspenseful read and it was nice to get to know Lisa better and get to know Braden.
I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
