It's funny how, when tragedy strikes, the world has this inexplicable way of slowing down around you, forcing you to take in everything at once, while comprehending nothing at all.
Christabel Walton didn't have a five-year plan. She never wanted a white-picket fence life - hell, she never expected to live past her thirtieth birthday. So now, at twenty-nine, three months pregnant and mourning at the side of her critically injured lover... it's time to recalculate.
And by recalculate, she means put a bullet through the man's head that attempted to assassinate her boss... her friend... her everything. She'd kill him... or die trying.
