Firefighter Ben Hubbard has spent thirty years loving a woman he could never have: his best friend's widow.
Hilde Aguilar left Branwen Beach the night she buried her husband and never looked back, not even for the man whose hug alone sent electricity ripping through her veins. Now she's home to care for the aunt who raised her, and the first face she sees on Main Street belongs to the mountain lion shifter she's spent three decades trying to forget.
Ben never said a word. Not when Hilde married his best friend at eighteen. Not when he lost him and buried his own feelings right along with him. He figured silence was the price of loyalty. But Hilde is back, curvier and more devastating than ever, and one accidental brush of her hand is all it takes to unravel thirty years of pretending he doesn't want her.
There's just one problem: wanting his dead best friend's wife feels like the ultimate betrayal, and neither of them can decide if loving each other is a second chance or a sin. As old guilt collides with a heat neither one can outrun, Hilde and Ben have to choose between the ghosts holding them back and the fire burning right in front of them.
