Weeks later, fate brings them together again. His name is Amir Cortez, and he's everything she dreamed of-and more than she ever feared. As their romance deepens, so do the shadows around him. Bodies begin to disappear. Friends grow suspicious. And Jennifer finds herself caught between love and a terrifying truth.
Amir is the city's most elusive killer. And she is his only living victim.
In a story woven with elegance, danger, and haunting devotion, Masquerade of Shadows explores the thin line between justice and obsession, and the kind of love that survives even the darkest revelations.
