  When you’re a hostage of your own nightmare... 
  As the Shadow Island Historical Society prepares to raise funds to restore the island’s beloved lighthouse, someone else has other lethal plans. Instead of the presentation the group hopes for, they attract the attention of a madman claiming the historic monument is his family legacy before firing several shots and barricading the doors. 
  Now, one hostage is dying and the rest fear for their lives. 
  Interim Sheriff Rebecca West is no hostage negotiator, but she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure the elderly captives are safely released. Especially when the perp turns out to be a local boy recently released from the mental hospital where he’d been committed since his mother abandoned him and his father. By all accounts, he’s disturbed but harmless. 
  Or is he? 
  He’s making outlandish assertions about the disappearance of his mother that don’t make sense. And identifying missing persons who disappeared miles away. Are these accusations merely the delusions of mentally unstable man? Or is something more nefarious going on? 
  From its shocking beginning to the jaw-dropping conclusion, Shadow’s Hostage—the sixth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will make you realize we all see what we want to see, even if it’s not true.

  Have you ever wanted something so bad, you’re willing to kill for it?  
  That’s what I felt the instant my eyes locked on Justine. I could practically taste her innocence on my tongue when she stood across from me, riling me up like the life in her eyes hadn’t been snuffed years ago. The thrill of the chase ran through my blood so fast, for the first time in years, I felt like I had a heart sitting in my chest. Its beat was weak and cold, but it was still thumping nonetheless. 
  It had literally only been a few hours since I had a woman’s warmth wrapped around me, but my hunger for Justine was uninhibited. Her scent was so intoxicating, my arrogance fed off it. I craved it like a drug, willing to give up everything to have it embedded in my skin—even my freedom. 
  They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but Vladimir isn’t going to be that lucky. I was maimed, beaten and tortured as he groomed me to be a natural born killer, and he is going to discover the hard way how precise his tactics were. Disrespecting my family is as punishable as disrespecting me. Justine is now my family, and I’ll spill the blood of a thousand men before I let anyone take her away from me. 
  This devil needs his rest, and Justine is the angel who can give it to me. 
  Author Warning: This book has adult scenes and situations that may be distressing to some readers. This book is part two of Nikolai's story and it is not intended to be read as a standalone.
