Doubts begin to plague her, not only about her career, but about the man she’d should have been married to by now. Detective JD Kemp is a fearless dynamo investigating homicides, but after a two-year engagement, he’s still scared as hell to take a walk down the aisle with the woman he loves. Talk about doubts! When Luce and JD find themselves the targets of ruthless serial killers, the bullets start to fly, literally. Will facing death erase their doubts, or will it drive the final wedge between them? Foolish Heart Deputy Medical Examiner Sarajane Nichols has pretty much seen it all, but she never imagined she and her friends would be targeted by psychopaths who love to kill. She never imagined a living a life of unrequited love for Dominic Fielding or being cursed with the family juju after she’s shot. Who wants to see the future, anyway? Dom has already recited vows—not to another woman, but to God and the Catholic church. As a priest, he has been in the war zone for over ten years, counseling and offering support to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dom’s been MIA for three years, but now he’s back, and he has news that will shock everyone who knows him, especially Sarajane.
