After being widowed at a young age, Jade Hadley is tired of her celibate existence and is determined to add a little romance and sex into her life again. When her deceased husband's sexy best friend admits a longtime attraction, her entire world is thrown off kilter.

Security expert David McIntyre is in love with Jade and has been from the moment they met. Unfortunately for him, that was the week she married his best friend. For years he's stayed silent, giving her time to mourn. When he discovers she's dating again, all bets are off. Then someone targets her to die and he realizes he has more trouble than he bargained for. Seducing her isn't the problem. Convincing her what they have together isn't purely physical, however, is. It might even prove to be a bigger challenge than trying to keep her alive.
