Real Shadows (ePub)

What do you do and where do you go when you're tired of running?

Whatever it takes and wherever you need to.

Fallon
Fallon Reese has spent most of her adult life running from an unknown threat that she's yet to identify. A threat that the police, cameras, and moving have not been able to eliminate. Having grown up in foster care, Fallon had no family that she could turn to, so she was on her own. Isolating herself in wariness and fear, her choices were limited, but something had to be done and soon.

After Fallon comes home to discover that her stalker has found her again, she realizes she has to finally play the only card she has. Packing up and moving across the country, Fallon can only hope that her stalker isn't crazy enough to follow her. With the hope at a new, safe, normal life, Fallon does her best to put it all behind her. However, she never expected to trade in one problem for another.

Xander
Xander Raynes has spent most of his life being the good guy, but that's because he was genuinely a good guy. After his parents' untimely deaths, Xander had inherited his parents' construction company, and he'd been doing his best to make his parents proud. Though successful, handsome, and sexy, he was still single, and he preferred it that way. He didn't need drama rocking his happy boat.

After his best friend's wife propositions him with the craziest idea he's ever heard, Xander can only blame shock on what he does next, because he would never turn his back on someone who needed help. You can ask anybody, and they'll tell you that Xander is a true gentleman. So, when surprise, shock, and just a crappy day turn him into a jackass of the biggest order, he has no choice but to make it right.

When faced with fight or flight...
Determined to face her fears on her own, Fallon finds a quiet strength inside her that she had never known existed. Prepared to go it alone, she does her best to keep her friends out of harm's way, but no matter her resolve, Xander Raynes isn't going anywhere.

Determined to make things right, Xander refuses to let Fallon handle her stalker alone. Even if he wasn't attracted to her in the fiercest way, he has no choice if he ever wants to be able to look at himself in the mirror again. He's not going anywhere, and Fallon Reese is just going to have to accept that.

Even though Xander's first impression was that of a complete bastard, Fallon's not blind. Gorgeous, sexy, and cocky, it's hard not to be attracted to the jerk. However, when her stalker finds her again, this time, he finds her with Xander, and all bets are off when he finally comes out of the shadows.
