title: Shadows
author: Barcelona, Stella
description: SHADOWS is my kind of book – powerful and thrilling, sexy and smart, smooth and emotional. Stella Barcelona delivers another winner – a beautifully written, action-filled story that sizzles with heat and heart. You’ll be tempted to read SHADOWS quickly. Go slow and savor it, though. In the end, there is only one thing you will want from this fully satisfying read, and that is more great stories from this promising new author. -- Cherry Adair, NY Times Bestselling Author Cataclysm. Now. Run. A cryptic, urgent text message turns the peaceful life Skye Barrows has created for herself and her sister into chaos. She must follow her father’s instructions to the letter, but Sebastian Connelly is blocking her way. Telling Sebastian what she must do is not an option. What He Doesn’t Know Will Get Them All Killed When a prison break in the midst of a security system upgrade threatens to destroy the reputation of Sebastian’s company, Black Raven Private Security Contractors, he goes on the hunt for escaped prisoner Richard Barrows – a delusional and paranoid computer software genius. Sebastian’s mission: find Richard Barrows and return him to prison, but stonewalled by Skye, who refuses to give him answers, and with the added complication of her special needs sister, Sebastian finds himself always a step or two behind vicious killers. Nothing About This Case is Normal For Sebastian, it should be simple, but this case will test him in ways he never imagined. As probing interrogation becomes urgent protection, the search for Barrows forces Sebastian and Skye into a murky world of shadows and illusions.
