Book One: No Matter What

---

Ten years ago, Isabella Middleton and Weston Parker parted ways on a train platform, leaving behind a single printed receipt: December 22, 6:17 PM. Bench by Track Six. No matter what.  

Now, Isabella is a leading trauma surgeon in Boston, her life grounded in logic and hard-earned competence. Weston, on the other hand, is a phantom—a covert operative navigating the shadows of global crises. As the countdown to their reunion ticks down to zero hour, a deadly biological anomaly emerges at a biotech giant, and the only person capable of averting disaster is the woman Weston is desperate to connect with.  

In a city engulfed by a silent catastrophe, Isabella faces an agonizing choice between her thriving surgical career, built over the past decade, and a man she hasn't seen in a lifetime. But Weston harbors a secret more perilous than his absence: the very thing he fought to protect could become the weapon that destroys them both. This gripping tale is part of the thrilling 'Collide Series' by Kevin Coll, a must-read thriller novel.
