Diagnosis
Someone else might crave excitement, but Dr. Natalya Pulaski was enjoying her ordinary life. Then she received a chilling call from her best friend--and the line mysteriously went dead. She felt in her bones something bad had happened. And that she had to get answers. Detective Michael DiPalma's Friday night plans did not include working a missing person's case--or uncovering a dead body. But something about Natalya's vivid green eyes and killer curves demanded his immediate attention. As they teamed up, it was clear the walls around their guarded hearts were about to crumble. Were they brave enough to take the fall?
