A fling between friends after crushing heartbreak may just turn into the relationship she's always longed for in this steamy romance from New York Times bestselling author, Brenda Jackson, previously published as Just Deserts. Learning that her estranged husband has passed away is the biggest shock of Danielle Timberlake-Foster's life—until she learns that she wasn't his only wife. On the verge of reconciliation, the betrayal is staggering, especially as she was hoping to start a family. Picking up the pieces, she finds an expected ally in her brother’s best friend, Tristan Adams, who offers support, comfort and, as the heat between them grows, maybe something even more. Tristan is every woman’s dream, but can Danielle heal from her past to accept the future she deserves?
