Mia Carina has steered her Italian-American familyโs Astoria, Queens, catering hall, Belle View Banquet Manor, into becoming the boroughโs premiere party site, and nothing could make her happierโexcept her boyfriend proposing. Thereโs just one presumed-dead obstacle in the way . . .
A strong, independent woman and respected entrepreneur, Mia never imagined sheโd pine for a marriage proposal. Yet lately, with her beloved Shane, sheโs on tenterhooks. Itโs especially surprising, considering Miaโs first husband, Adam, was a philandering grifter, assumed lost-at-sea after a boating disaster. But everyone knows what happens when you assume . . .

While working a huge wedding expo in Manhattan, Mia is shocked to spot the man who nearly destroyed her life. The one whoโs supposed to be sleeping with the fishes. But she loses him in the crowd. And when it happens again the next day, itโs time for an emergency meeting with the familyโand the Family. Because if Adam is alive, Mia is still married . . .

Everyone wants Adam dead. Everyone except Mia. Sheโs dealt with enough police for a lifetime. Mia needs to be a divorcรฉe, not a widow. But someone out there disagrees, and if Mia doesnโt discover who, she may never be free to marry Shaneโor anyone else . . .
