Rising from the Ashes

Amanda's failed marriage has left her disillusioned and cynical, and she has a strategy for her future that reads more like a business arrangement than a romantic tryst. The only challenge to her plan is handsome, funny, smart, sexy Nick who lives next door. He's one man who could make her change her mind. But there is a problem. He is still in love with his dead wife, so any chance of uniting with him is unlikely.  

Nick lost Valerie, his pregnant wife, three years previously in a freak accident. Time may have diminished his grief but it still leaves a gaping hole in his heart. Unknown to Amanda, his desire for her burns hotter than the noonday sun, but falling for her makes him feel guilty and disloyal to Valerie for even considering moving on. 

Faced with Amanda's imminent death, can Nick find the courage to save Amanda's life by doing the one thing that not only terrifies him, but he has convinced himself he is incapable of doing?
