In Love's Shadow — Catherine Lanigan

On a cold December evening, a shot rang out in a wealthy Chicago suburb and the lives of three women were forever changed. But Pulaski, successful businessman, committed suicide, leaving behind a shattered wife, an estranged sister, a bitter mistress and many unanswered questions.

Roya. The faithful wife. Left with the mess of his indiscretions and hidden debts, she is struggling to keep her family together and the business afloat. Then suddenly she finds herself in love for the very first time.

Daria. The younger sister. She has lived in his shadow long enough. Now, without Bud to blame her problems on, she must face her mistakes before she loses the rest of her family.

Kitt. The mistress. Determined to destroy his family as revenge for all that she has lost, she can't admit to the truth about her role in Bud's death.

They are three women -- searching for a ray of hope in love's shadow.
