Cardella Montecristo had the house, the husband, the name, and the life every woman was supposed to envy. But behind the mansion walls, her marriage to Dante Montecristo was colder than anyone knew. When Dante is gunned down in front of her, Cardella is left shattered, grieving, and haunted by the last argument they ever had. But grief turns into suspicion when strange details surrounding his death stop adding up. Everyone tells her she's imagining things. Everyone tells her it's just the grief. But Cardella knows what she saw. And if the Montecristo family thinks they can bury the truth with Dante, they're about to learn one thing: A widow can mourn and still want answers.
