MARRIED TO THE ENEMY'S WIDOW

By MARIS

Three weeks after burying her husband, Tessa Harley proposed to the man he spent eleven years trying to ruin.

Graham Harley's death looked like a bad heart. But a badge swiped two hours after he died, a prescription nobody authorized, and a trust amendment signed in secret tell Tessa a different story. The only way to open the sealed archive that holds the truth is a marriage clause. It needs a spouse, and a merger with the one man her husband swore to destroy.

Raphael Kessler doesn't believe in grief, and he trusts widows even less. He agrees to the marriage on his own terms: a prenup, separate bedrooms, and a rule that nothing in the archive leaves the room until they've both read it. He is sure she is lying to him. He is just as sure someone inside his own company has been selling his secrets for five years.

But the deeper Tessa digs, the more the evidence points toward a warehouse collapse in 1996, eleven dead workers, and two rival empires born from the same ashes. Their families' fortunes were built on the same secret, and someone will do anything to keep the vault shut.

She married a stranger to find a killer. He married a widow to find a traitor.

Neither expected the other to be the only person they could trust.
