The Courage to Move on — Mia Jones

Lexi Danner's life changed the night her husband, Mark, was murdered before her eyes. They met and fell in love in college. They had married a month after graduation from law school and started working in different areas of the law. To keep from sinking into a deep abyss of depression after his death, Lexi vowed to find the person who murdered him, only to come face to face with more danger than she'd ever thought possible. After coming home after his career in the military ended, Jace starts working as an investigator for the D. A.'s office. Jace knew Mark Danner since childhood. He takes losing Mark hard, but not as hard as the thought of staying away from his friend's widow, who he fell in love with the first time he saw her. Now he has the chance to claim her as his own and keep her alive in the process.
