Found with blood on her hands, ice princess Bethany St. Croix became the prime suspect in her ex-husband's murder.

But her chilly silence didn't fool one man. P.I. Dylan St. Croix had once been seared by the passion that blazed beneath Bethany's cool facade. And though they'd parted bitterly before she'd married his cousin, he couldn't desert her now.

But though he would risk his reputation to prove her innocence, would he risk his heart to win back her love?
