Time to reset the “books since last sexual assault” timer! It's not as clear cut as in the first book, but it's very uncomfortable and I'd say it crosses the line. I believe this is the first book with the main couple having premarital sex.

The book starts out strong emotionally. Fran is married, his brother is attracted to her, and then husband dies and they both struggle with survivor's guilt. She deals with it, he runs away with it. And then Michael drops that part of his character because he wants to bang.
