Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

He broke her heart to save her from his dark. She is about to burn down empires to drag him back to the light.Elena Dumont is an international icon with a flawless brand, an independent million-dollar fortune, and a ghost in her bed. As a wealthy fashion model and high-society heiress, she belongs to a world of absolute privilege. But her heart belongs to a man from the cracks of the city-the homeless war veteran who stepped out of the shadows of a dark West Hollywood alley after a fashion show after-party to save her life. Six months ago, after everything they fought for, he walked away into a blinding Aspen whiteout and vanished. Her billionaire family treats her grief like a corporate public relations crisis, claiming a drifter never belonged in their world anyway. But Elena isn't a fragile doll. Clinging to a cheap silver ring, she decides to use her immense wealth for one final, desperate purpose: to build a beacon so bright it will pierce whatever shadow he is hiding in.Jack Vance is a man built for ruin. An orphaned tier-one black-ops veteran left entirely unhoused by the system, his canvas duffle bag holds everything he owns. He left the woman he worshipped because he truly believed his combat trauma was a virus that would destroy her pristine world. Now a drifting ghost, he hitches rides across the freezing underbelly of the American West, looking for a way to outrun his own mind. When his pride finally breaks, he takes an off-the-books assignment for a dangerous humanitarian medical team. Saving stolen children in the world's most lawless borderlands becomes his only narcotic to numb the agonizing ache of missing Elena Dumont. He thinks his exile is an act of mercy. He has no idea you can never truly outrun your own soul.Caught in the shadows of the tide, they are swept across continents on parallel tracks of absolute agony.But when a quiet challenge pulls Elena Dumont out of her Malibu cage and into the red clay dust of a remote East African medical camp, the universe begins to narrow. While Jack is completely off the grid leading a perilous rescue run into the deep interior, Elena is busy trading the silk of her old life for the raw utility of human survival. She doesn't need a soldier to shield her from the dark anymore. She is becoming a force of her own.Beneath a massive African sky, as a tropical storm rolls down from the mountains, the billionaire heiress and the homeless veteran are about to collide. When those piercing blue eyes lock onto hers once more, will their old walls shatter, or will the currents of pride tear them apart forever?An epic, breathtakingly romantic JJ Henrico masterpiece of sacrifice, redemption, and the enduring sanctuaries we build for the innocent, The Shadows of the Tide is an unforgettable portrait of a love that refuses to stay lost. Look for the next chapter in their journey in the upcoming sequel, Shadows of the Tide: New Hope.
