Melting Shadows

When fantasy and reality collide, only love can be believed.

Shattered by a brutal attack, forced to flee her refuge, painfully withdrawn Dr. Prudence Marsh hides behind numbing logic and a fantasy world created in her hellish past. When the host of her safe house turns out to be a dead ringer for her dream warrior, she fears she’s lost her precious mind along with everything else. Merciless enemies and shifting alliances leave her with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, especially not her own lonely heart.

Ex-SEAL Max Delaney has been known to dabble in a hot, delicious mess—or two, or three. He has no idea how to handle a cold, sour one. Being blackmailed into babysitting her in his hidden bunker while she finishes a top-secret project for the Navy sucks, until he falls for her. Then it blows.

Every clue Max unravels about the mysteries of Prudence buys him more questions. Every step forward with her lands him two steps back, flat on his ass. But when he reads her books under the guise of “desperately need to know,” eerie coincidences cast doubt on the shadowy line between imagination and reality.
