The Shadow Wife is the new title for Cypress Point. Cypress Point was originally published in 2002. From the author: "I ve made a few minor changes to the text in the book. I ve de-wussified Liam, who was just a little too soft for my 2010 taste and I ve de-graphicized the love scene, which was just a little too, well, graphic for my current writing style. So if you like your books steamy, you might want to read the original version!"« less
