Emerging in Shadows

Ash Gray’s past comes knocking—literally—when the father she believed dead turns up on her doorstep. Andrew Walsh, with his unmistakable red hair and green eyes, reveals not only that he’s alive but also that Ash has a brother. And now that brother is missing.

Dragged into a family mystery she never wanted to be part of, Ash must grapple with the betrayal of a father who disappeared decades ago and the existence of a family in Ann Arbor she never knew.

At the same time, Ash’s relationship with Chad Townsend deepens. From celebrating his birthday to meeting his family, Chad is the steady force she needs. But Ash’s past casts long shadows. The painful loss of her niece, Sienna, still haunts her, and Chad’s ex, Cally, seems intent on lingering in the picture.

As Ash’s old and new worlds collide, she’s forced to make impossible choices. Can she reconcile the life she’s built with the family she’s only just discovered? Or will the search for her brother pull her back into the darkness she’s worked so hard to escape?

With suspense, heartfelt emotion, and simmering romance, Emerging in Shadows takes readers on a gripping journey of family, love, and the courage to face the past—even when it’s not what you expect.
