Niall's known nothing but betrayal. All Mat wants is Niall's heart.

Mat and Niall are stronger together than apart. When will Niall realize that truth? Will he ever?

Since the night on the beach Niall's been avoiding Mat like a bad case of the flu--which, ironically, most of his deputies have come down with. What will it take for Niall to truly believe Mat wants him for who he is?

Mat's overworked, Niall's unnerved, and then things really go sideways.

Someone wants the sheriff dead. Niall's not about to let that happen, even if he doesn't think Mat should waste time on him.

Will Niall unlock the fortress around his heart, or will he push Mat away permanently?

Long Shadow is a dual POV about a broody introvert and a somewhat patient Sheriff. Mat's going to have to prove to Niall he's the man for him. The Veiled Intentions series follows the same couple as they find their way to their happily ever after.
