The first book in Sylvia Day's much anticipated Blacklist series after a seven-year wait - now out in paperback.

Widower Kane Black remains ruinously married to his late wife, Lily. Grief has hollowed him, until he sees a woman with his wife's inimitable beauty on Manhattan's streets. He whisks her up to his towering penthouse, where Lily's memory is a possessive, beguiling force.

Aliyah, Kane's mother, deals in science. So Close features "Lily", who has dangerous control over Kane, and there can be only one queen on this throne, while Amy, Kane's sister-in-law, has been bloodied by betrayal, and now intends to claim what she's owed. Three women circle the man who unquestioningly accepts the return of his beloved long-dead wife. He's happier than ever, and he'll do anything to stay that way...
