Her gaze was searching, probing, as if she could see it all: all the terror, all the ugliness, all the secrets hidden in the recesses of her mind. She waited for Jenny to turn away, repulsed by what she found. She didn't. She simply waited, pleading, searching, wanting—wanting to know it all. Wanting to take it all.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: "Say, could you—" Kathryn said, as she appeared from behind the screen, struggling with the zipper behind her back. "Sure," Jenny said, springing from the chair a little too eagerly. "Thank you," Kathryn said with a frustrated exhale as she placed a hand on her chest to hold up the dress. "I swear, if a man designs a dress, you can bet he'll put the zipper in the most inconvenient place just so he can help you out of it later." "The swine," Jenny said in mock indignation as she tried not to notice the lack of undergarments on the delicate valley of bare skin she'd just uncovered.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: Kathryn grinned, as the unrelenting conflict within her stopped its incessant saber rattling. Jenny had that effect on her. Lulling her into normalcy. No wonder it was so hard to let her go. She wasn’t a spy, or a war criminal, or someone to be on guard against at all times. She was an innocent drawn into the ugly world of intrigue by tragedy. One more reason to set her free.
Her resolve was interrupted by Jenny’s hand on her cheek.
“Seriously, Kat. What’s the matter? I know you want to. I’ve sensed it all night.”
Kathryn tensed under the warm hand on her face and got lost in Jenny’s searching eyes.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: Kathryn blamed exhaustion for the uncharacteristic longing for Jenny Ryan. The longing wasn’t real. It was a product of delayed disengagement, remnants of feelings manufactured to complete her assignment. Wasn’t it?
It had been so long since she’d been honest about her feelings. Maybe it had been too long since her feelings were honest. The truth felt uncomfortable, just as the lies had been uncomfortable once. Now the lies were a way of life. Often her survival depended on it. Without so much as a whisper goodbye, genuine emotion had become foreign to her, and the fine art of betrayal had taken its place. Could she even discern the truth from playacting anymore? She closed her eyes and searched for the person who used to know. She looked up into innocent green eyes and thought she saw someone she remembered, someone she wanted to be again.
“I don’t think you’d believe me if I told you,” she said honestly.
“Try me.”
“Because I like you too much.”
Jenny raised her brow. “Okay. Could you like me a little less? Say, for an hour?” She paused and smiled. “Maybe two?”

Book cover for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow Series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. Text reads: He continued to shake Kathryn’s hand long after proper etiquette demanded, and recognizing the affliction, Jenny rubbed his arm and whispered, “Down boy.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he said, as he sat down.
Jenny kept her gaze firmly fixed on Kathryn’s face, but she could feel Cal staring at her.
“Huh,” escaped his lips as a statement.
Jenny broke her stare with effort and looked his way. “Huh what?”
He cut his eyes to Kathryn, who gave him a wink and a seductive grin.
“Uh,” Cal drew out, “I’m gonna be over at the bar if ya need me.”
Cal cleared his throat into the silence and thumbed over his shoulder. “Yeah, anyway, the bar.” He stood and made his way across the club.
Jenny furrowed her brow. “What was that about?”

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads:
“But obviously you’ve dealt with some demons. Yes?”
“Obviously?”
“Well … you have, haven’t you?”
Kathryn hesitated. “Let’s just say I have my demons.”
“But you’re together. You don’t break down at the drop of a hat, so you’ve dealt with that in some way.”
Kathryn shook her head. “I run as fast as I can.”
“You can’t run forever.”
“I can try.”
Kathryn’s answer was unapologetic, and Jenny supposed whatever happened must have been pretty awful. She put her hand on Kathryn’s forearm. “I want you to know, if you ever need to talk about it, I’m here.”
Kathryn smiled and patted her hand. “Oh, no. One emotionally distraught person a night. That’s my limit.”

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: The singer’s handshake was firm and confident but gentle at the same time. “Call me Kat.”
“As in panther?” Jenny asked, and then regretted saying it out loud.
The singer smiled. “No, as in Kathryn. Miss—?”
The soft, warm hand in hers and the beautiful blue eyes boring expectantly into her made Jenny’s knees weak and, for a moment, her voice deserted her. She was somewhere south of graceful when she finally said, “Uh … Jenny, I mean Jen … Ryan.”
Kathryn paused. “Do you prefer Jenny or Jen?”
“Jenny,” she said. Nobody called her Jen. Ever. She didn’t know why she even said it, other than Jenny suddenly sounded juvenile for a twenty-three-year-old in the face of Kathryn’s sophistication.

Kathryn exhaled her agreement and snuffed out her cigarette in the glass ashtray before her. “You didn’t tell me she had a temper.”
“Well, you were supposed to seduce her, not send her running from the building.”
Kathryn laughed. “They said feel her out, Smitty, not feel her up.”
“Oh. My mistake.”

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: They gazed into each other’s eyes until the sexual tension disturbed even Kathryn. For someone who had cultivated the art of seduction into one of her finest tools, it was disconcerting to lose control of it, especially during an assignment. She broke from Jenny’s gaze and squinted at the gleaming chromium bumper of an exotic-looking maroon convertible in the open garage, illuminated by the car’s headlights. “Nice car,” she said.
“My father’s 1937 Cord 812.” She paused. “Supercharged.”
Kathryn had never heard the word supercharged sound so sexy, and she bit her lip to stifle a pleasurable moan. “Not something you see every day.”
“She’s a temperamental thing, but you’ll never forget the ride.”
Kathryn wondered if she was still talking about the car.
