The Art of Shadows

By William D Howell

She's the FBI's sharpest undercover agent. He's the art dealer with too many secrets. Neither expected their greatest threat would be each other.

When FBI agent Amanda Chen is assigned to infiltrate the Eclipse Consortium-an elusive international art-smuggling ring-her mission is clear: get close, gather intel, and bring them down. But her target isn't just a faceless organization. It's Javier Morales, a charismatic and dangerously charming art dealer with ties to the black market... and eyes that seem to see straight through her cover.

What begins as a calculated game of cat and mouse spirals into a slow-burn seduction riddled with secrets, suspicion, and smoldering desire.

As Amanda navigates high-stakes galas, coded exchanges, and shadowy betrayals, she starts to question where her mission ends and her obsession begins. And when a mysterious assassin with ties to both their pasts reemerges, Amanda realizes the truth may be more complicated-and more deadly-than she ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Red Sparrow, The Art of Shadows is a sultry romantic thriller where love and lies collide.

Set against the glittering backdrop of Los Angeles' art world and pulsing with international intrigue, this heart-pounding debut will keep you breathless to the final page.

Betrayal is the currency. Desire is the weapon. And trust? That's the most dangerous game of all.
