[Sunshine and Moonlight 01] • Circling The Shadows

John Halloway walks out on his wife’s funeral, cuts all ties and disappears. Eighteen months later, guilt-ridden, depressed and obsessed with thoughts of his own death, John returns to the home where he spent happy summers as a boy. John is ready to decide his future permanently, one way or the other. John will either end the summer at the bottom of the ocean or he will finally turn things around, but first John has to put down the bottle and remember how to live.

The summer starts off with a bang, when John meets his beautiful, blonde, British neighbor, Anna. She seduces him within thirty minutes of their hello. After enduring an abusive marriage, Anna is determined to live life on her own terms and all she wants is a baby. Getting pregnant by an unsuspecting stranger seems her best path to raising a baby without the interference of a man.

Anna and John share an unforgettable, steamy evening together and strike up a bargain for a summer of romance with no past or future tense dialogue, just living in the moment. John thinks the connection with Anna will help change his state of mind, and it does. But change is never easy.

Fall in love with John and Anna in Book One of the Sunshine and Moonlight series.
