Kismet

My name is Dominique Chevalier, and I am broken. Two years ago, a beloved part of me died. Angelique was everything, but she left me alone.

Alone with an infant, a broken heart, unimaginable pain, and a promise that I’ll never forget.

After relocating and taking a job as Ottawa’s chief forensic pathologist, I find purpose.

I find escape from the anguish that threatens to drown me.

I find him.

Detective Kobe Haven is everything I can’t have but everything I want.

Our paths cross when we are called to investigate a murder. Kobe is charming, smart, and relentless, but I can’t move on. I’m not ready. Before I know what’s happening, he’s under my skin, inside my veins, warming a special place in my heart.

I can’t turn him off.

He’s all I think about.

But do I really know him?

Does he really know me?

As the case unravels and the bodies pile up, true feelings surface.

Winter storms rage. Spring is nothing more than a feverish wish on a cold night. Eternally out of reach.

Or is it?

Is Kobe someone I can trust?

Is he someone I can love?
