Shadow of the Past
Luna Hartley moved across her workplace, her mind whirl of ideas. The news of Damian's comeback had shivered her spine and brought back memories she had hoped to let go.

Now, drawn back into the heart of risk, she was a successful entrepreneur and mother of three lively triplets.
Lucas Thompson entered when her office door creaked open. His presence anchored me gently among the turmoil. His voice steady, "Luna, we need to talk," he said.
