WHEN THE LIGHT FADES – LÖFTEN I SKYMNINGEN
By Heléne Holmström
AFTER SEVERAL STORMY years in London, Vera Hartman returns to Stockholm with one goal: to prove that she belongs in the family business, the renowned Hartman department store. But she barely has time to step inside the doors before she learns that the store is on the brink of ruin, and her grandmother has already begun negotiations with Elias Johansson, the successful CEO of the low-price retailer Svanåkers.
ELIAS ALSO HAS his own agenda. He has sworn to destroy the Hartman family. But he hadn’t anticipated meeting Vera. Confident, sharp and impossible to ignore. When they’re forced to work together, the stakes are raised – and the risks have never been higher…

REVIEWS
It has been a long time since a book has captivated me so completely. I started reading yesterday – and today there is not a single page left. When The Light Fades completely absorbed me. If it’s possible to be obsessed with a story, then I am now. This is the kind of book you want to live in, return to, hold on to – long after the last page has been read. […] Now the only question that remains is: how am I going to wait for the next instalment? I’m already longing for it.

I love it! Heléne has once again delivered a fantastic book that feels like a perfect meeting between Kindred Spirits at Nordiska Kompaniet, the present day and romance!
