Book 2 – Shadows & Secrets Duology – Available September 2026!

A shattered past. An enduring love. A future reclaimed.

Leaving Lucas behind was the hardest thing Glory had ever done.

She returned to Toronto to help her family heal, but instead, she finds herself caught in the middle of old wounds that refuse to close. Her aunt’s bitterness threatens to destroy what remains of their fractured family, therapy uncovers painful truths, and every step toward healing seems to reveal another layer of heartbreak.

Then a shipment arrives from California. And there, tucked into a corner of her paint box, is the promise ring she’d left behind—and a note from Lucas with a simple promise. He still loves her. And he will wait.

As Glory struggles to rebuild herself, Lucas is always there, offering his unwavering support. Across international borders, and months of uncertainty, he remains the one constant in a world that keeps shifting beneath her feet. But loving him and building a future together are two very different things. Before she can move forward, Glory must confront the devastating secrets that have haunted her family for decades—and the deep wounds that still tear at her heart.

When a shocking tragedy shatters everything she thought she understood about her past, Glory finds herself slipping back into darkness. And only by facing the truth can she finally begin to imagine a future that once seemed impossible.

Together, Glory and Lucas must decide if love is enough to overcome the shadows of her past—or whether some wounds are too deep to heal.

A moving story of resilience, forgiveness, family, and second chances, Rising from the Shadows is the unforgettable conclusion to the journey begun in In the Shadow of Secrets.
