A devastating secret. A consuming love. An impossible choice.

Pizza Margherita – that’s how it all starts. After a girls’ night out ends with a pizza stop, Glory is over the moon to find herself beside Lucas Wolfe, her long-time Hollywood crush.

Accepting Lucas’s invitation to spend the weekend with him is the easiest decision Glory has ever made, and what begins with stolen weekends and long-distance promises quickly deepens into a love that neither of them can deny.

But Glory doesn’t realize that she’s been living in the shadow of secrets for most of her life until a fleeting brush with her past drags long-buried trauma into the light.

As she claws her way back from a near-fatal breakdown, she must confront the truths her family has kept hidden for decades.

And through it all, Lucas is there – the only solid ground under her feet. But when he chooses her over a pivotal movie role, Glory realizes the imbalance in their relationship is tearing them apart.

Caught between the future she longs for and the healing she needs, Glory must make an impossible choice – one that could break them, or leave the door open for them to start fresh.

Praise for “In the Shadow of Secrets”

Cecile’s writing is catchy and draws you into the story straight off the start. The steamy scenes are nicely sprinkled in as I followed the story of Glory and Lucas. I enjoyed the depth of their characters as individuals who are also in love. A man who’s not afraid to cry and a woman who is confident on their own even in the toughest times. I can’t wait for Part 2!

Cindy – Goodreads

In the Shadow of Secrets is an emotional and captivating story about love, hidden truths, and the difficult journey toward healing. Cecile M. Sheff creates a powerful exploration of how the secrets we carry can shape our lives and relationships. Glory and Lucas’s connection is heartfelt, but their journey is far from simple. I enjoyed the way the story balances romance with deeper themes of trauma, family secrets, and personal growth. Glory’s struggle to uncover the truth about her past while finding her own strength makes her journey especially compelling. A touching and dramatic read filled with emotion, difficult choices, and the hope of finding peace after years of pain. A strong beginning to the Shadows & Secrets Duology.
