Hostile by Heather Ashley

Tragedy and I are old friends.
No one knows my devastating secret. I’ve kept it guarded for years, never wanting to face what happened because it has the power to destroy me.
If there’s one person who might understand, it’s Penelope. She wears her own catastrophic loss like armor, and I’m not sure anyone has tempted me like the stunning brunette with wide, innocent eyes.
Except, she wants nothing to do with me. She hates how I don’t take life seriously, and the way I push her to let go.
When the legacy her family left behind is threatened by those who don’t deserve it, she reluctantly calls me in to protect what’s hers.
The only question is can she stop fighting me long enough to survive the fallout?
