In the Shadow of A Father

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

In the quiet town of Bellwood, Matthew Baker lives a carefully controlled life, low profile, clean lines, and no questions asked. He’s a pharmacist with a past he doesn’t talk about, a man who prefers silence over confession. But when he meets Francesca Moretti, a sharp-witted prosecutor from a powerful family, the walls he’s built begin to shift. What starts as a quiet love story becomes something more volatile as secrets rise to the surface, his, hers, and Bellwood’s. Old loyalties resurface. Shadows stir. And soon, the lines between protector and danger, truth and illusion, begin to blur. As the past presses in from all sides, Matt and Frankie must confront what it means to trust, to love, and to choose each other, especially when the cost of truth might be more than either is ready to pay.
