Ultimate Fear
by Kristine Mason
Mystery
When a deranged mother's grief drives her to replace her dead son
over and over, obsession leads to murder...
Chicago detective Jessica Donavan will never stop looking for her
missing daughter. Her obsession has destroyed her marriage, but the search is
the only thing that helps keep her sane and her mind off of everything she’s
lost—her husband and her baby girl. When she uncovers a string of unsolved
disappearances and reappearances of a number of baby boys, Jessica turns to her
soon to be ex, Dante Russo, a former Navy SEAL turned investigator for the
private agency, CORE, to help her fit together the pieces in this perplexing
puzzle. But as Dante helps her, she realizes just how much she still craves his
support—and his touch.
Dante is still in love with his wife and would do anything to have
her back in his life again. He’s been miserable since she left him to deal with
the grief over their daughter’s abduction, never understanding how much he
grieves as well. When Jessica tells him about the case she’s working, he jumps
at the chance to take part in her investigation. He's hoping not only to save
their marriage and ease his personal pain over the loss of their daughter, but
to stop a serial kidnapper from taking another victim.
As Jessica and Dante work side by side, pregnant women begin to
turn up missing or dead, and they start to uncover the consequences of another
woman's unfathomable grief. The childless mother doesn’t just want a baby. She
wants a newborn straight from the womb.
And when forced to confront the dark and twisted perversion of a
mother's obsession, can Jessica and Dante find their lives again…or merely more
death?

Excerpt:
(Villain’s POV)
Wayne looked over to Mr. Independent. The child had
spaghetti sauce all over his face and a couple small pieces of noodles on his
cheek. The boy grinned. “Daddy eat ‘pasgetti, too.”
His stomach turned and he lost interest in his
meal. He’d come to love this one more than the others, and had foolishly hoped
Dimples would change her mind about him. As much as he loved babies, too, he’d
also have loved to watch his boy grow up, teach him how to throw a ball, ride a
bike, about girls, how to shave. His stomach too nauseous to eat, he pushed the
plate of spaghetti aside.
“Now, hon, you knew this day would come. It always
does.” Dimples looked to the boy she’d raised for two years and gave him a
smile. “Elton, tell your daddy you’re ready to go.”
“We go bye-bye,” the boy said, picking up a handful
of spaghetti. “We go park and play.”
“No park,” she said, and used her napkin to wipe
sauce off his nose. “It’s late and the park is closed. But heaven is always open
to God’s children.”

I
didn’t pick up my first romance novel until I was in my late twenties.
Immediately hooked, I
read a bazillion books before deciding to write one of my own. After the birth of my first son I needed something to keep my mind from turning to mush, and Sesame Street wasn’t cutting it. While that first book will never see the light of day, something good came from writing it. I realized my passion and found a career I love.

When
I’m not writing contemporary romances and dark, romantic suspense novels (or
reading them!) I’m chasing after my four kids and two neurotic dogs.
