The Enemy in the Shadows (Unabridged‪)‬

When Bella Carpenter's place of employment was closed down due to embezzlement, she moved to her grandparent's old farmhouse. Her friends scattered with the winds, and she was trying to get her life back on track. In the middle of the night, the old house became an inferno. As she was trying to escape, the house blew up and threw her several yards away.

With a severe concussion, she was in the hospital for a few days. This led her to meet an old friend who had had a terrible crush on her for years. After the fire, Bella began to rebuild her life, which included a new home. A few months later, her new house was vandalized. She began to suspect her old employers, and warned her friends that it could happen to them. When another attempt was made on her house, she seriously wondered who was out to get her.

After thoroughly investigating her situation, she realized the person was only after her and not her friends. Bella seldom left her home for fear of being hurt, or her house vandalized. She even set up a security system for protection. The night she was shot was a turning point in her life. The enemy in the shadows was becoming more lethal, and she had to do something drastic. So drastic, she decided she had to die.
