SECRETS IN THE SHADOWS

Unveiling the hidden secrets in the setting of Spain, the third book of the Women of Strength Series, “Secrets in the Shadows” promises a thrilling ride! Meet Kim, the fierce and determined female protagonist who uncovers a shocking truth – her ex-boyfriend was brutally murdered by the ruthless drug cartel.

Fuelled by an unrelenting desire for justice, Kim takes matters into her own hands and seeks the help of her ex-boyfriend’s brother, Ricardo.

As they embark on a dangerous journey together, their relationship takes an unexpected turn and blossoms into a heated romance.

But their quest for vengeance is far from easy, and the road ahead is riddled with perilous obstacles. Can they fight against all odds and bring the murderers to justice? Or will they fall victim to the cartel’s wrath and meet a tragic end? The answer lies in the shadows, waiting to be revealed.

Here are a few excerpts to give you a taste of the story below:

Officer Garcia continued. “We believe that Mr Perez was murdered yesterday morning. We have attempted to notify his next of kin, but we could not reach them.”

Kim clenched her hands, her chest aching. This had to be a dream. Manuel couldn’t be dead. She had only spoken to him a few days ago. He had assured her he would make amends with his family once it was safe. That was pointless now. The burning sensation in her stomach made her want to sleep until it was over. Speaking in an unsteady voice with chills permeating her body, her vision blurred. “What do you mean, you believe?”

“There is no body, ma’am,” said Officer Garcia.

“No worries, Manuel. Just stand over by those drums, would you. I might take a picture of you first. Send a clear message to your friends.” He pulled out his mobile phone and clicked his picture. “They should know better than to mess with us.” Turning to his cronies, he uttered his orders. “Shoot the prick.”

Manuel gasped, his body shaking as he put up his hand. “No, please. No, I’m innocent. Please, no.” He would no longer be able to make amends with his family, but the image of Kim flashed before his mind’s eye. Her heart, her beauty, and her wisdom. He would carry her with him into his next life.

His final thought was of the searing pain of the bullets tearing into his chest.

With hands sweating as she waited in trepidation, the mild wind feathered the side of her neck. Fiddling with her bag strap, she cleared her throat and found her heart accelerating as soon as the door swung open. She hadn’t anticipated his attractive appearance, with chocolate-coloured eyes, a square jaw, subtle outlines of a moustache and beard, short brown hair with blonde highlights and a fringe flicked to the side. She put aside butterflies in her stomach and focused on her mission.

For a brief moment, their eyes locked and Kim’s face flushed.
