Midnight Reckoning

Roman blocks Hazel's attempted departure with desperate urgency, his emotional walls finally crumbling as he admits his paralyzing fear of losing her, drawing them into an intensely explicit night of raw physical need, tender exploration, and shattering climaxes that leave both hearts exposed. Their fragile afterglow is destroyed at dawn when his late wife's sister arrives unannounced, declaring her legal claim on the Ashford heir.
