I know you love him... Not the words you want to hear from your best friend. Especially when the him she is talking about is the man she's married to. But when Alyssa Hutchins said those words, Bree realized her best friend knew the one secret she'd hoped to keep hidden for always. Just before she died, Alyssa asked Bree to promise her something, but it's a promise that Bree isn't sure she can keep. Colby Hutchins left town the day he buried his wife, but he couldn't outrun the pain of losing her...nor could he outrun the guilt. The very night he buried his wife, he'd almost done the unthinkable. All Bree had done was offer comfort, but he had wanted more. Still wants more. Chased by guilty needs and taunted by dreams where Bree offers so much more than comfort, he returns home to close the book on the life that ended with his wife's death. But he comes face to face with Bree and it sets everything inside him to burning all over him. These two battered souls long to be together, but something unspoken lingers between them...
