description: Whisper in the Shadows revisits the fictional community of Willow, Tennessee. This is the fourth volume in the Willow series. The Willow series is filled with stories encompassing love and suspense involving the citizens of the small town of Willow. Keira Jameson’s nursing expertise is put to the test when she finds injured motorcyclist, Reece Tanner, whose injuries have nothing to do with his apparent motorcycle crash. Private Investigator, Reece Tanner had no way of predicting the level of danger that would accompany his latest case. Keira and Reece’s lives become entwined as they embark on a journey to solve the case and avoid the danger that awaits at every turn. Soon, it becomes evident that this case is more sinister than either of them were prepared for. A possible link is discovered to a FBI case that Reece’s uncle had worked on two years ago; bringing together an unlikely team to assist in taking down an organization involved in kidnapping vulnerable children. The undercurrent of attraction sizzling between Reece and Keira serves to bind them even closer together as they battle to rescue those children and bring the perpetrators to justice. When the smoke settles, will Reece and Keira realize that there is more between them than a desire to bring the children to safety? Excerpt: Keira was too stunned to move as Reece pulled her against his frame. “I’m sorry I got you involved in this.” It was hard to hear his words over the blood rushing through her veins. His nearness was making her lightheaded. Mentally, she reminded herself that she was twenty three years old. Way too old to be so easily swept away. But, it didn't do any good. Her eyes were captivated by ice blue shimmering in his eyes. She felt as if she were at the edge of a shimmering lake. The icy water beckoning her to step forward and sink beneath its depths. It would be so easy. But, there would be no coming back once she sank below the icy surface. With effort, she forced her eyes away from the icy depths of his eyes; only to be just as captivated by his lips. Her own lips quivered in anticipation of the kiss to come. Surely, it would come. It had to. “Keira?” Was that a question? Was Reece asking permission to kiss her? Was he asking if she felt the same force that he did? In the only way Keira knew to answer. She licked her lips. The anticipation of the kiss was nothing compared to the actual kiss. Keira felt her body swaying. She was lightheaded. She was sinking beneath the depths of the icy lake. It would be up to Reece to rescue her; she was helpless. The rescue came slowly. Keira was left unsure whether she could breath on her own by the time Reece’s mouth lifted above hers. Just a few minutes, where it lingered. Was he thinking of kissing her again? She certainly was.
