The Cost of Silence – Kathleen O'Brien

Redmond «Red» Malone instantly agrees when his dying mentor asks him to deal with a situation discreetly. Yet convincing «the mistress» Allison York to sign a document keeping silent about the relationship leaves Red feeling…off. Allison is smart, honest and beautiful–not at all like the gold digger he'd assumed she'd be. Even more unsettling is that the single mom wants nothing to do with Red or any offer he has.Still, Red is persistent, and the more he's with Allison, the more he realizes he's found where he wants to be. He's found his home. But the silent secret between them threatens their happiness. And Red is faced with a dilemma: to keep his promise, or let the truth set them free.
