Where Shadows Whisper - Phoenix, Amara

. .

Résumé :
They say you can't outrun your past. But I wasn't just trying to escape. I was trying to disappear. When Elaina arrives in a coastal town in northern Spain, she carries nothing but a false name, the weight of a broken past, and secrets she can't afford to let slip. On the run from a life she never chose, she lands a job at a castle-turned-luxury hotel. But her temporary hiding place soon becomes something far more. A hotel thrumming with energy. A staff village pulsing with tension, fleeting attachments, blooming friendships-and faces far too curious for comfort. Then there's Orlando. Distant. Mysterious. Unreadable- even as his penetrating gaze seems to cut straight through the deepest, darkest parts of her she's spent years trying to bury. Something darker is stirring beneath the surface, lurking in the shadows of her new life. The longer she stays, the more the edges begin to blur-between safety and danger, trust and suspicion, survival and surrender, hiding and being seen. You can run. You can change your name. You can change your life. But the past will always find a way to claw you back into the shadows *** This is a romantic suspense novel with dark themes and elements intended for a mature audience only.
