He swore he’d never touch her.
Then her husband died. Nico Costa has spent years burying the way he felt about his friend’s wife. He was there the day they married. He watched her build a life with a man who didn’t deserve her. And now that man is dead—gunned down in a hit no one is willing to talk about, let alone look into. When Nico steps in to help Blair with a few loose ends, he doesn’t expect to keep getting pulled back in. Back into her life. Back into the feelings he thought he'd buried. Back into a mystery darker than either of them knew. And as secrets about her late husband start to unravel, so do their carefully kept boundaries. She’s grieving the man she thought she knew. He’s uncovering the plot that got him killed. And neither of them are ready for how far they’ll go to finally have each other. * this book can be read as a standalone *
