Updated at Oct 29, 2025, 05:04
It's been five years since Avery Morgan's life was destroyed on what was supposed to be her happily ever after. Her fiancé, Ethan Blackwood, New York's most eligible billionaire, vanished without explanation, leaving her humiliated at the altar and with a charge of infidelity she never even considered. Now Avery has reinvented herself as Manhattan's leading businesswoman, hard, indomitable, and vowed never to love again. But the universe has a cruel sense of humor, because the man who shattered her heart a few years ago just entered her life. Ethan Blackwood has returned with wealth, a hard heart, and one intention: vengeance. He believes that Avery's duplicity destroyed him, and this time he will not allow her to escape without paying the cost. But the closer he gets to finding out, the tighter things get, and the more he realizes that the woman he swore to hate may be the one and only one he ever loved. As ancient secrets return to haunt them and powerful enemies close in, Avery and Ethan have to confront the lies that tore them apart. From betrayal and passion to redemption, they have to decide whether love is worth it when trust is lost. Where the city never slept, their hearts will wage the ultimate battle, a war between revenge and forgiveness, pride and desire. "Shadows of His Promise" is a hooking billionaire second-chance romance filled with betrayal, obsession, and a love that won't stay hidden. You'll be breathless chapter by chapter, doubting who to trust with each twist, and pleading for more with each cliffhanger.
