Beyond the Blue

Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe's life: she has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three chance meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third time, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness has to admit perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge.

A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly, an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department's brand new cold case team working in the office down the hall from Mei's morgue. More golden retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist unexpectedly warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops and Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants.
