This collection is the first 3 books in the By Death series. Those books are:
Touched By Death
Death had touched anthropologist Jade Hansen in Haiti once before, costing her an unborn child and perhaps her very sanity.
A year later, determined to face her own issues, she returns to Haiti with a mortuary team to recover the bodies of an American family from a mass grave.
Visiting his brother after the quake, independent contractor Dane Carter puts his life on hold to help the sleepy town of Jacmel rebuild. But he finds it hard to like his brother's pregnant wife or her family. He wants to go home, until he meets Jade - and realizes what's missing in his own life.
When the mortuary team begins work, it's as if malevolence has been released from the earth. Instead of laying her ghosts to rest, Jade finds herself confronting death and terror again.
And the man who unexpectedly awakens her heart - is right in the middle of it all.
Haunted By Death
Death haunts anthropologist Meg Pearce...
In her last summer before college, an innocent camping trip ended in a friend's disappearance...and destroyed her life. She lost everything. Her innocence. Her plans for her future. Her best friend and lover. Seventeen years later, she returns reluctantly to the same area, hoping to move on. But a gruesome discovery sends her reeling back to that dark time. Detective Chad Ingram has spent the last seventeen years trying to solve the mystery of that camping trip so he too can regain his life...and the lost love of his life.
Only death isn't done shaking up their lives...and this time they are in the crossfire.
Chilled By Death
After losing several friends in an accident, Stacey became a loner. She knows she needs to grow past it, but a career working with the dead is not a warm and cozy conversation starter. When her brother coaxes her back to the same mountain for a holiday to help her heal, she realizes it's time.
Royce can't believe Stacey is back and fighting her depression. He blew their last time together and this might be his one and only second chance with her. Now if only he could figure out how to not blow it...
But once out in the winter wonderland, the holiday atmosphere quickly shifts when they find a dead man. Then one of their own goes missing...
It will take everything Stacy and Royce have to make it through this nightmare.... They can't trust anyone - maybe not even each other...
