The Woman in His Murder Case Was His Wife

The rain came down over the back roads outside Avar City in thin silver sheets, and it was on one of those roads, eight months heavy with his child, that my husband left me.

I was the alliance bride the Falcone bloodline had never wanted. When I was eight months gone with Lorenzo Falcone's child, he abandoned me on a rain-slicked country road because his phone had rung, and on the other end of it was Bianca Moretti, the Family girl who had come back.

An SUV came out of the dark and found me.
