After her car breaks down in a raging storm on the western coast of Ireland, grieving American widow Dawn Winter must enlist the help of a mysterious German innkeeper to find the father she never knew or break the promise she made to her dying mother and risk never discovering her roots. But the reclusive, mysterious Peter Lange is hiding his past from the beguiling Dawn, even though she holds the only hope of saving his beloved inn from financial ruin. They will have to trust each other and join forces to unravel long-buried family secrets before Dawn becomes the next victim in a deadly game of murder and deceit, and they lose any hope of healing their broken hearts. Windshadow is the first in the Widow Women Mysteries series, featuring four feisty older heroines navigating life after losing their husbands. Set in exotic foreign locales, each book leads one of the women into danger, romance, and the chance to embark on a risky, new chapter.
