If you've read FINDING SAM, then you've met the Erik's twin sister Olivia and his best friend Josh. 

This is their story. 

When undercover detective Josh Morin is almost killed in a drug bust gone wrong, the one thing that continues to haunt him are the words he never got to say to his best friend's sister.

"I love you."

But even as the demons that haunt his recovery threaten to destroy the relationship they've nurtured through the years, there's one thing that Josh has never considered.

Olivia just might love him, too.

For Olivia Firelli, life as a widowed mother would have been much harder were it not for her childhood friend, Josh.  And after almost losing him the first time, she knows she can no longer keep her feeling buried forever... not when there's a killer after him, and she just might lose Josh for good.

***THREE SIMPLE WORDS was originally published as IN HIS HEART and now that I found the original cover, I think it's perfect. Hope you enjoy Josh and Olivia's story!
