Holly thought she could outrun her past. As a former elite operative for a covert organization known only as "The Serpent’s Tail," she’s spent years protecting her daughter, Lily, from the life she once led. But when a photograph reveals the truth to Caleb, a powerful billionaire and Lily's father, the fragile peace Holly has built begins to unravel.

Caleb’s world is turned upside down as he discovers the daughter he never knew he had. Together, he and Holly must face a conspiracy far beyond their personal lives.

But the past has its claws in Holly, too. Old betrayals, including a haunting relationship with a former mentor, Seraphina, come back to life. As she and Caleb fight to protect Lily, they must navigate layers of deceit, unresolved emotions, and a shadowy organization determined to pull Holly back into its grip. Fast-paced, suspenseful, and deeply emotional, The Shadows We Carry is a story about the lengths we’ll go to protect those we love, the weight of secrets, and the resilience of the human spirit.
