Widow: A Dark Romantic Suspense: Guilt #1

Her husband is dead. And Joan is about to discover she never really knew him.
After twenty years of being together, Joan's world shatters overnight. Grief turns into suspicion when secrets begin to surface. Secrets that expose a hidden life filled with money, power, and enemies she never saw coming.
Because her husband didn't just leave behind memories. He left behind danger. And one man who knows the truth.
Dex is controlling. Calculating. Dangerous in a way that doesn't need to shout. He steps into Joan's life with answers she desperately wants, but at a price she may not be ready to pay. The more she digs into her husband's past, the more she's drawn into Dex's world of loyalty, power plays, and unspoken rules.
And the chemistry between them is explosive and impossible to ignore.
