About In the Shadow of the Past: Shadow Series, Book 1 (Unabridged)
A Sultry Historical Noir Packed with Espionage, Desire, and Sizzling WLW Tension New York City, 1943. From jazz clubs to back alleys, passion and peril collide in this slow-burn sapphic love story that simmers through every twist and turn. Nightclub singer–turned–OSS spy Kathryn Hammond has a past she can’t outrun and a mission she can’t afford to fail. But when fearless reporter Jenny Ryan becomes her assignment, sparks fly and everything starts to unravel. Jenny is fire and fury seeking justice for her father’s murder. Kathryn is ice and regret behind a voice like sex and sin. Neither planned on the slow burn between them. Neither is ready for what it will cost them. In a world where a lingering glance can be dangerous and a kiss can be fatal, their forbidden desire threatens Kathryn’s mission and places Jenny in the crosshairs of a ruthless enemy. When love becomes a liability, which woman will pay the price? In the Shadow of the Past is a sapphic noir awash in Old Hollywood cinematic glamour that will delight fans of femme fatales, wartime subterfuge, and love that cuts like a knife. This is the first book in the lush, sapphic historical fiction Shadow Series. Buy it now and lose yourself in Abby Craden’s unforgettable narration of Kathryn and Jenny’s epic love story, where the greatest threat might not be the enemy but the longing in their own hearts. Buckle up … it’s going to be a deliciously bumpy ride!
