Nothing stays in the shadows forever...not even the monsters. Jessaline Lapin knows where the bodies are hidden. Cleaning for le milieu isn't bad work...messy, sure, but it pays well and affords ample opportunity to pursue other interests. Her gardening business keeps the money clean, dabbling in writing is fun, but what really holds her attention is the gloomy, moody, single dad whose ever present rain cloud makes her toes curl.
Edmond E. Yore is stuck in a job that's as dangerous as it is lucrative, and getting out alive isn't an option. As legal counsel for the notorious crime family, he's used to dealing with messy situations, but lately, his personal life is bleeding into the professional one, and Jessaline is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, and things are starting to slither dangerously out of control.
When the person most precious to them both goes missing, the only response is to burn it all down.
Perfect for fans of Brynne Weaver and J.T. Geissinger, From the Shadows is a dark mafia romance about a gloomy single dad, a biohazard cleaner who knows where the bodies are buried, and a workplace romance that gets very messy...very quickly.
