Legacy of Shadows by Carolyn Bowen

About the Legacy of Shadows

In “Legacy of Shadows,” we journey back to the prestigious Mandarino Italian Estate with David, the determined heir entangled in a perilous web of deceit and danger.

But the challenges don’t end there. As the head of the Mandarino family and the U.S. Distribution Center in Savannah, David’s responsibilities compel him to test his underboss’s loyalty. A brief business trip to Savannah further complicates his life when Jasmine, a fleeting acquaintance, reveals her pregnancy with David’s child, presenting him with a new and urgent dilemma.

David must navigate the treacherous waters of mafia influence in the U.S. and Italy while facing critical decisions shaping his family’s future. Torn between expanding business threats from the Chicago Mob, cartel conspiracies, and personal crises, David must uncover the truth and secure his family’s legacy before it is consumed by the shadows of betrayal and violence.

“Legacy of Shadows” is a masterful blend of suspense, intrigue, and family drama. The narrative is rich and captivating, much like the Tuscan landscape it is set against. The story delves deep into themes of trust, betrayal, and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones.
