ABOUT THE BOOK

GENRE: Love Story/Mystery/WWII

TROPES: Forbidden

She fell for the wrong woman … now it’s going to cost her.

In wartime New York City, budding reporter Jenny Ryan is chasing the biggest story of her life. Everyone said the death of her beloved research scientist father was an accident, but she knows it was her fault. When an anonymous phone call puts the blame on wealthy industrialist Marcus Forrester, Jenny doesn’t hesitate to act. Armed with absolution and a tenacious drive for justice, she will stop at nothing to bring him down. She didn’t count on falling for the key to her plan … Forrester’s mistress.

On the surface, Kathryn Hammond has it all: a successful nightclub singin career, elegant grace, and stunning good looks that draw all eyes to her when she enters a room. No one can see her tragic past, or the demons she battles daily as she toils stateside, carrying out what she considers dead-end missions for the OSS while the real war rages in Europe. She knows nothing short of her death in service to the greater good will redeem her for the lives lost on a mission gone bad. All that changes when Jenny Ryan becomes her latest dead-end mission and awakens long dormant concepts like hope, redemption, and the worst thing that could happen to an agent toward their subject: desire.

These two women, on very disparate paths, are caught in a reluctant, slow burn that will save them, but at what cost, and are they willing to pay the price?

In the Shadow of the Past, by J.E. Leak, is the first book in the romantic thriller Shadow series. If you’ve ever yearned for something beyond your reach, follow Kathryn and Jenny’s epic love story as they navigate duty and an unrelenting longing to save each other, despite the surmounting obstacles and a world gone mad.
