From Shadow

Former spec-ops member Ezekiel Harding returned home from his time as a POW to find his family destroyed from his service. Adrift and with no real purpose for a man of his skill set, an employment opportunity at The Church, a private high-end club, gives Zeke the routine he desperately needs. He completes his shifts, waves to the bakery owner across the street as he leaves, and doesn't force himself to socialize. It may be lonely, but it's safer for everyone if he doesn't put himself out there.


 Vivian Bennett isn't sure why she's been targeted by a cunning stalker determined to make her pay attention to him. As the owner of Divine Twins Bakery, she's too busy to take a second look at any man. That is, until Zeke walks into her shop. She knows falling for Zeke will probably leave her burned, but she can't resist the temptation he offers.


 As the heat between them rises, the stalker grows more dangerous. Zeke knows the only way to step from the shadows and into a place at Vivian's side is to face the threat head-on. He just has to ensure he and Vivian survive the confrontation.
