Before it was over everything had changed—and not for the better. Mindy was awakened by Brendan Quinn with the news that her husband had been shot and killed.
Dean was gunned down during an overnight security patrol, leaving behind crippling debts that quickly cost Mindy her house, her car, and her savings.
Now Mindy is alone, nearly broke and pregnant...and Quinn—a man who never hid his contempt for her—is the only one she can turn to. Her doctor ordered absolute bed rest—an impossible demand for a penniless widow.
Quinn offered his spare bedroom out of fierce duty—creating an uneasy truce under one roof. Sharing close quarters tests their bitter history as the stoic detective steps up to protect Dean's child, leaving them both struggling to maintain their distance.
Can a hardened Seattle detective and his late partner's pregnant widow survive the truths they are hiding from each other?
