This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: No one else resisted Kathrynโs easy smile and friendly banter, and Jenny certainly couldnโt blame them. Outside, when Kathryn put her hand on her shoulder, Jenny was thankful she had the cold as an excuse to remove it before she gave in, confessed her attraction, and fell into her arms. Oh, how she wanted to fall into those arms.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of Truth (Shadow Series Book 3) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: She was doing the right thing. The right thing was cold comfort to her now, as her thin veil of composure unraveled, revealing physical manifestations of her deconstruction. Her hand trembled as she reached for the jar of cold cream, and she made a fist, trying to deny her frailty. She had to keep it together, had to regain control. Breathe, she told herself. Breathe.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: โYouโre going to love the view up here,โ Jenny said. Kathryn couldnโt resist. โI love the view back here just fine.โ Jenny glanced back. โIโm glad you noticed.โ โIโm tired. Iโm not dead.โ Jenny stopped at the top step and turned, leaving Kathryn one step below, with their lips inches apart. Kathryn didnโt dare move. โIโm sorry,โ Jenny said after a beat. โI know youโre tired. Would you rather just go home?โ Jennyโs low and inviting voice was the exact opposite of her words. The agent in Kathrynโs head screamed, Yes, youโre exhausted. Go home. Get Daniel Ryanโs books, and go home. It was a long-lost stranger that said, โI want to see the wonderful view.โ

Iโve been nervous about publishing in a new sub-genre, but I think thatโs what makes me proud of this book. It was unfamiliar territory and I still did it.
I hope everyone likes my take on vampire romance as much as I enjoyed writing it!

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of Truth (Shadow Series Book 3) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: Jenny leaned against the doorjamb of the bathroom and crossed her arms. Kathryn was submerged in the tub, her long dark hair languidly swirling about her face like Ophelia descending to the depths. Her leg was casually draped on the side of the porcelain tub, her foot tapping out a tune only she could hear. Jenny smiled and looked at her watch, wondering how long Kathryn could hold her breath. Quite some time, apparently, and Jenny thought she should make her presence known before she startled her and she reflexively used the bar of soap as a lethal weapon, which she had no doubt she could do.
