Books with title Roumania in light and shadow

Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who's developed an unusual career specialty: helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes, to help them forget about the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can't be covered up with a new coat of paint. And when she senses that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret, she enlists P.I. Ethan Truax to find the truth. Working together, they solve the mystery...and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan's exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful, inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden with a house's walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn't really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him. Now, no matter how much she resists, Ethan may be her only hope - because the people she's been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves, her own past starts to shadow her every step - and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.

Excerpt from Roumania in Light ShadowYesterday morning we awoke at Predeal, a little town in the Carpathians, just on the borderline between Hungary and Roumania. Bright sunshine greeted us. On looking eagerly out Of the car window I saw on the station platform a lively crowd Of peasants clad in gaily embroidered garments. Shepherds in tall pointed sheep skin caps and shaggy fur mantles made a striking picture, their grave demeanour an effective contrast to the anima tion of the dark-eyed girls with red flowers in their plaited hair.Is it like this every day I queried, feeling as if we had front seats in a theatre.No, this is Easter, and everyone has a three-day holiday, was the reply.Later, as the train went along, we could see the hora, a slow, swaying round dance, in progress on all the village greens to the music of the Violin and flute. Small ferris wheels, made Of wood and looking perilously frail, were revolving with burdens of laughing swains and maidens. In front Of the little white cabarets, tables were set in the open air, where the Older villagers were sipping wine, smoking cigarettes and solemnly, silently surveying the dancers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
