With nothing but a rotting wooden sign all but invisible on the main road, the town of Shadow Creek is drawing in some unlikely newcomers and it won’t take long for them to realize that this small town set deep in the mountains of modern day Virginia, is home to some very interesting people with even more interesting and sometimes dangerous secrets. 

               On the run from an unknown past, Cassie Colette, her sister Chloe, and her two sons are searching for a safe place to make their new home.  Noticing a rotted sign for a small town, they assume it to be a deserted ghost town and decide to take a much needed break from the long hours of driving.  Upon reaching the town however, they find that Shadow Creek is far from what they would call a ghost town.  But in Shadow Creek, the Colette’s aren’t the only ones with secrets to hide.  

               Could this be the safe haven they were looking for, or will the secrets of the residents prove to be more deadly than what they’re running from?  The first in the Shadow Creek series, delve into this small, forgotten town and meet the people who make her what she is as they live out their own lives and relationships along with the Colettes.


               This is not your average book. It doesn't evolve around a particular guy or woman. Its not their road to a happy ending. Not that the ending isn't satisfying. Think more along the lines of a community of interesting and sexy people who all have secrets to hide.

               Now throw in a murderer, some sexy attraction, and just a dash of the supernatural and you have a hint of Shadow Creek and what it's about. One thing is for sure, Shadow Creek may be an isolated little town but she sure as hell ain't boring... So if your looking for a new pace, something unique to sink into, you may have just found what you're lookin for. ;)

9 parts Ongoing Mature
At 37, Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37. In the span of a single autumn, everything Cambry thought she knew about herself-and the world around her-was turned upside down. Strange dreams begin to haunt her nights, filled with forgotten symbols and places she's never been, yet feels intimately familiar. Her body begins to change in subtle, unexplainable ways: heightened senses, a newfound connection to the natural world, and the inexplicable ability to influence the elements. As the leaves fall, Cambry uncovers long-buried family secrets that reveal her true heritage: a powerful bloodline with ties to an ancient mystical order. The dormant magic within her awakens, and Emily finds herself thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient forces vying for control. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to allies and enemies, both human and supernatural, as she grapples with the powerful abilities she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so too does a looming threat. Cambry must learn to control the magic that now courses through her veins, or risk not only her life, but the fate of the world. In this transformative season, Cambry will come to understand that she is not just different-she is extraordinary. And the time for her true purpose has finally come.
