Shadow had lived in the darkness since his life had been ripped to shreds. He'd been just a boy and too small to fight the evil that had come to take his mother away from him. His weakness had cost him everything. It had cost him the one person who had ever loved him, the only one who had ever brought warmth into his cold, dark soul. He lived for years without the slightest glint of light. There was nothing that moved him, nothing that called him to be a better man than the cold killer he was being conditioned to be.
Everything changed one horror filled night as he stood in the bitter cold warmed only by the heat from the blaze before him. The scent of death choked him almost as much as the thick, black smoke that boiled from the once pristine home. That heat was nothing compared to the heat that scorched him the second one little girl reached out and touched his hand. He had no way of understanding it, no way to feel it without breaking apart, so he stayed away, but she haunted him.
Lacey Carson had struggled through the pain of loss and sudden moves, of new homes and people while the threat of danger hung over her like a black cloud. She'd never understood it, but that didn't matter. She fought through it all to fulfill her dreams. Now she was back home and determined to find her happiness. Now she must face the man that had haunted her dreams even as he'd stood between her and destruction. She would have to find the courage to wither claim him as her own or let him go for good, but how can a woman hold a man like him? How can she find the strength to hold onto a shadow?
