About this ebook

Dark secrets, romantic love, and exploitation in the heart of Spain.

Eva Lopez loves helping children with special needs in Madrid. But when one of her students, Samuel, vanishes along with his mother, and later returns unable to speak, Eva needs to find the reason.

Eva’s fears escalate when Samuel’s mother is found dead. She joins forces with Tomas, an EMT with a mysterious past who wonders why he is called to many people in his neighbourhood with mercury poisoning—including his mother.

Against police warnings, Eva and Tomas dig deeper into the mystery behind Samuel’s silence and the poison spreading in the community. As danger builds, their growing attraction becomes impossible to ignore.

When Eva starts receiving threats, she and Tomas know they’re in a race against time to save vulnerable children from a sinister group.

If you enjoy romantic suspense, dark secrets, and a fight for the truth, you’ll love Escaping The Shadows, the fourth book in the Women of Strength Series.
