The Shadows series gathers six of Loree Lough’s inspirational romances centered on characters haunted by their pasts. “Once a Marine” (2015), “Sweet Mountain Rancher” (2015), and “The Firefighter’s Refrain” (2016) form one cluster, while “Beyond the Shadows” (2019), “Shadows of His Mind” (2022), and “The Shadows of His Past” (2022) extend the thematic arc.
The shadow metaphor runs through the series as characters work to step out of the darkness of trauma, guilt, or regret. Lough pairs each protagonist with someone who helps them confront what they have been avoiding, with faith providing a foundation for the healing process.
