Summary
She stuck the cigarette between her lips, the shade of pink her mother had slapped on her before they left now coating the filter. Rio crossed the distance, taking both ends of the fabric and crossing one over the other. “You are meant to be highly educated, you cannot tie a bow?”
He raised his chin, smirking as he quipped, “Just because men are educated does not mean they are intelligent.”
She finished the bow, smoothing out any puckering. Rio raised a single brow as she took the cigarette between two fingers again, blowing the smoke off to the side of the man. “Another topic we agree on.”
“How thrilling,” August smirked.
“Thrilling indeed,” she deadpanned.

Summary
In 1996, Jane Rizzoli was just a girl in a leather jacket with an annoyingly charming smirk, and Maura Isles, daughter of Constance Isles, was a Harvard student living behind a veil of carefully constructed distance. What began as an unsuccessful flirt in a Boston bar became an agonizing countdown to a goodbye that was supposed to be permanent.
Sixteen years later, the choices of the past still echo. Time has turned youth into scars and promises into silence, but Boston is too small a city to hide two hearts that never learned how to beat alone. When the present finally collides with everything they left behind, Detective Jane Rizzoli and Medical Examiner Maura Isles discover that some wounds refuse to be forgotten.
