The Best Man's Forbidden Claim
Book Description
When Jake Ashford dies at thirty-one, he leaves behind a grieving widow, a best friend who's been secretly in love with her for seven years, and a letter that gives them both permission to stop pretending. Claire Ashford is drowning in grief when Ethan Cross shows up on her doorstep with Jake's final letter — and a confession that changes everything. As Ethan repairs the broken things in Claire's house, he dismantles the walls around her heart. But guilt, a suspicious sister-in-law, and the ghost of the man they both loved threaten to destroy what's growing between them before it has a chance to survive.
