Books like Light in Shadow by Jayne Ann Krentz

Zoe Luce is an interior designer in Whispering Springs, Arizona, who has built a niche helping recently divorced clients redefine their homes—and their lives. With a rare ability to sense hidden histories within a building, Zoe knows that some secrets cannot be erased with paint alone. When one client appears to be hiding a dark truth, Zoe turns to private investigator Ethan Truax. Together, they uncover a mystery that puts both of their lives in danger. As the investigation deepens, Zoe faces a startling revelation: her own past is closer than she thought, her privileged gift is more powerful and dangerous than she imagined, and the man she loves may be the only one who can help her survive. The story explores the tension between the desire for a fresh start and the shadow of past traumas, as Zoe struggles to protect herself and Ethan from the forces that have followed her into her new life.
