Shadows Over New Beginnings
Book 1 of The Fort Kellna Collection
Katie Maddison-Kyle sat at the small window overlooking the castle’s expansive grounds, her gaze lingering on the fading sun that kissed the stables below To anyone peering through the ornate gates, Katie epitomized a fairy-tale existence—wealth, a loving husband, and a castle that seemed conjured from the pages of medieval lore. Yet, beneath the veneer of opulence, Katie harboured a restlessness, a yearning for freedom that her gilded cage could never satisfy.
When Roy’s decision to send her away to Texas, to Barbara’s ranch, under the guise of respite set her on the path she secretly longed for.
The sprawling vistas of Happy Acre’s Ranch were a stark contrast to the manicured confines of her Castle estate. Here, the air was tinged with the scent of wildflowers and freedom. It was here, amidst the rugged charm of the ranch, that Katie met Joshua, the ranch manager whose easy smile and sun-kissed skin spoke of a life lived close to the earth.
Their friendship blossomed and Katie found herself entrenched in ranch life, her previous existence a distant memory. Yet, as she built this new life, her decision to sever ties with Roy ignited a fury within him, setting off a chain of events that threatened everything she had come to cherish.
Shadows Over New Beginnings is a saga of love, betrayal, and redemption, set against the backdrop of rural beauty and tyranny. It is a story for anyone who believes in the strength of the heart to overcome the darkest trials.
