Chilled by Death: By Death Book 3

After losing two close friends three years ago in a snowboarding accident, Stacy Carter has become a loner and can’t seem to make peace with this loss, not when Death intrudes upon her personal life again and takes two more people she loves. Meeting new people and trying to make a normal life for herself proves to be harder than anything else she’s done. Meanwhile, in her career, being a forensic pathologist puts her in close contact with the dead. While fascinating and never dull, it isn’t exactly a cozy conversation starter. When her brother tries to coax her out for a mountain vacation to help her heal, she has reservations, even as she tells herself rationally that she needs to face this. Reservations and rationale, however, were in short supply the last time she saw Royce O’Connell at that mountain …

Royce is floored when Stacy finally returns to the spot where she lost her two best friends, intending to deal with the depression that she’s battled for some time. Royce and Stacy have been longtime friends, but Royce wants so much more between them. Yet he’s well aware that he blew their last time together. Stacy makes it clear she’s not looking for reconciliation. However, he can’t help seeing her reappearance in their tight-knit group as a second chance, maybe his only chance.

Out in their winter wonderland, the vacation atmosphere shifts from merry to mayhem in a hurry, when they come across a dead man. Then, not long afterward, Stacy’s brother goes missing. The nightmare is only just beginning, as the realization settles in that they can’t trust anyone.

Maybe not even each other …
