In A Shadowed Heart, a chilling mystery unravels in the seemingly quiet town of Redhaven when fifteen-year-old Evelyn Clarke is found dead in the forest. Spirited, independent, and carrying secrets no one ever suspected, Evelyn's tragic end shocks her family, friends, and the townspeople who thought they knew her. The revelation that she was two months pregnant deepens the mystery, exposing a hidden life that Evelyn guarded fiercely.

Rumors and suspicion stir, implicating friends, teachers, and even a stranger with a scarred face who has recently been seen lurking in town.

Each discovery leads Jack closer to the heartbreaking truth—Evelyn was drawn into a dangerous relationship with an online predator, who preyed on her vulnerability and ultimately led her into the shadows. As he pieces together the last days of her life, Jack finds himself haunted by Evelyn's story, knowing that the small town will be forever marked by her memory.

A Shadowed Heart is a haunting tale of innocence lost and the lingering impact of secrets left in the dark. Filled with suspense and emotional depth, this book explores the delicate balance between love, loneliness, and the dangerous paths some are willing to take to feel seen.
