Secrets in the Shadows is a het 140-page Dark Shadows novel by Jane Rowan.

Summary

Summary from the publisher: "A DARK SHADOWS "bodice ripper". Barnabas enters a parallel world in the year 1830, where he encounters the twins Barnabas and Bramwell, their mother Josette, a lovely governess named Amanda, and, of course, Angelique."

From an ad in The World of Dark Shadows #71/72: "In a parallel time, in the 1830's, Josette DuPres Collins presides over a household comprising of her twin sons, Bramwell and Barnabas Collins. Bramwell, volatile and violent, is a contrast to his gentler twin, Barnabas. A stormy night brings Amanda Hawthorn, new governess to Daniel Collins, to the doorstep of the Old House. Both brothers are immediately attracted... But a powerful force brings the Barnabas Collins from our time, from the 20th century, into their world - and he and Amanda recognize their powerful attraction. But Angelique is not far behind....A novel of high romance in the bodice ripper tradition." [1]

Reactions and Reviews

I stayed up to 2:30 in the morning reading it. I had to force myself to put it down and get some sleep (good thing I was off from work the next day!) I really loved that one since in the end Barnabas finally did find happiness. [2]

It was excellent, I love her style of writing! [3]
