About the Book

Book Synopsis

USA TODAY bestselling author Colleen Coble delivers a gripping tale of danger, deception, and second chances in Where Shadows Meet, a standalone romantic suspense novel that explores the lingering power of the past and the courage it takes to break free from it.

Hannah's life shatters the night her parents are murdered. The tragedy is compounded by the knowledge that she should have been home with them--but instead she was secretly meeting Reece, the man she loved but wasn't allowed to see. Overwhelmed by guilt and unable to face her Amish community, Hannah runs away with him, believing their love will give her a new beginning.

But the life she enters becomes a prison. Reece's controlling nature soon reveals a darker side, and when Hannah becomes pregnant--against his wishes--his violence pushes her to the brink. After waking in the hospital and being told that her baby didn't survive, Hannah finally escapes, determined to start over and rebuild her life far from the man who nearly destroyed it.

Years later, Hannah has carved out a quiet career as an expert on Amish quilts. But the visibility that comes with her work makes it possible for Reece to find her again. Claiming he has changed, he begs her to return--and sends a photograph of the daughter Hannah was told had died.

Unable to dismiss the possibility that her child might still be alive, Hannah is drawn back into a web of secrets she thought she had escaped. When another member of her former community is murdered using the same poison that killed her parents, terrifying questions resurface. Did Reece orchestrate the original crime to take her away from her family? And will he stop at nothing to bring her back again?

Suspenseful and emotionally charged, Where Shadows Meet is a powerful story of survival, faith, and the strength required to confront the shadows of the past. Previously published as Anathema.
