The Shadows of His Past

By Loree Lough
The Shadows of His Past by Loree Lough digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Life was good for Murphy O'Brien... until it wasn't...

 

Murphy O'Brien, born without fingerprints, becomes a valuable asset to a crime boss who puts the lonely, orphaned boy to work, stealing from his wealthy clients... without leaving a shred of evidence behind. The profitable alliance ends on the night the pair are caught red-handed, robbing a prominent senator's home, and the boss decides the only one way to silence the only witness to his double murder is to commit a third: Murphy.

 

One stormy night, Murphy is left, broken and near death alongside the highway. But the boss's evil plot goes sideways when a quiet Amishman finds Murphy and delivers him to the nearest ER. Once recovered, he takes Murphy home, to recover... and hide from the killer.

 

Amish widow Rachel Graber, hired to care for "the amnesiac John Doe," is unlike any woman Murphy has ever known. Will his feelings for her inspire him to confess past crimes, serve his time, and earn her love... living Plain in her New Order Amish community? Or will the killer finally succeed in preventing Murphy from testifying against him?

About Loree Lough

Bestselling author LOREE LOUGH once sang for her supper, performing across the U.S. and Canada. Now and then, she blows the dust from her 6-string to croon a tune or two, but mostly, she writes novels (nearly 7,000,000 copies in print) that have earned hundreds of industry and "Readers' Choice" awards, 4- and 5-star reviews, and 7 book-to-movie options. Her 117th book, HOME TO STAY (#2 in Kensington's "A Child Will Lead Them" Amish series) followed 50 HOURS (from PRPP). Look for her most recently-released series from Harlequin Heartwarming, and "A Child Will Lead Them" Amish series from Kensington. Loree enjoys sharing learned-the-hard-way lessons about the craft and the industry, and her comedic how-to approach makes her a favorite speaker at writers' organizations, book clubs, private and government institutions, and college and high school writing programs in the U.S. and abroad. You can connect with Loree at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and www.loreelough.com.
