What to expect
Every great spy has a partner. Will Shaw fell in love with his.
Will came to Harvard for lectures and long nights in the library. Then he met Thomas Jacobs, an enigmatic naval officer training on campus who carried himself like a secret waiting to be uncovered. Thomas guarded every word and missed nothing. Will should have walked away. Instead, his curiosity smoldered into a slow burn neither of them could extinguish.
When the Office of Strategic Services came looking for recruits, it drew Will and Thomas into a shadow war of coded messages, covert training, and secrets inside secrets. In that world, love wasn't just forbidden. It was a liability.
Thomas belonged to duty long before he belonged to Will. Now Will had to decide whether to risk his heart on a man sworn to secrecy.
Crimson, winner of a Silver Medal in the 2024 Bookfest Awards, is the first book in the award-winning Of Shadows & Secrets series, which follows Will and Thomas from their first days of training through missions across the Second World War and the Cold War. You'll find a slow-burn gay romance wrapped in a World War II espionage thriller, with forbidden love, hidden loyalties, and a found family forged in secrecy. It's tense, emotional, and immersive.
