Chilled is the second book in Bone Secrets, the multimillion-copy bestselling series.
As a forensic nurse on a search and rescue team, Brynn Nealey braves a dangerous blizzard to find the survivors of a plane crash in the Cascade Mountains. Joining her is Alex Kinton, a former US Marshal with self-destructive tendencies. Alex lies his way onto Brynn’s team to find the man who killed his brother—and then return the favor. But once the team members reach the plane’s wreckage, they discover everyone aboard has perished…except for the man Alex is hunting. Alex will do whatever it takes to track his target through the vast, snowy wilderness.
As the temperatures drop, however, so do Alex’s defenses. His contact with the sharp, kindhearted Brynn makes his lust for vengeance difficult to reconcile with his growing feelings for a woman who risks her life to help others. What will happen to Alex’s savage instincts when he finally has the opportunity to confront his brother’s killer?
In Chilled, the next thrilling tale in the Bone Secrets saga, Golden Heart finalist Kendra Elliot weaves an icy tale of cold nights, cold hearts, and cold-blooded killers.

"Author Kendra Elliot writes intelligent, capable, attractive heroines who bring back the original appeal that I first found as a young reader of romantic suspense. As I have matured as a reader, so has my taste in reading material evolved. Romantic suspense continues to reinvent itself. As far as "dark or light" goes, it all depends on the story line and the personality that the author builds within each character. Thanks to talented and imaginative authors, like Kendra Elliot, romantic suspense continues to cross boundaries and merge storytelling elements in an increasingly delightful feast for fiction lovers! In "Chilled", Book 2 in the "Bone Secrets" series, Brynn Nealey is a forensic nurse, a highly dedicated professional in a field which in real life includes care to victims of crime, such as sexual and other types of assaults, as well as collecting evidence, performing certain types of death investigations, and working with prison inmates. Assigned to assist a critical rescue team heading to the site of a downed US Marshal Service plane, Brynn is trained to collect vital material in matters relating to the law. Former US Marshal Alex Kinton maneuvers his way onto the team with an agenda of his own. Aboard that plane is the man whom Alex has sworn to eliminate, the man who murdered his brother. When Alex's prey turns out to be the only survivor, a new game begins, and the rescue team finds themselves facing not just the killer cold, but the brutal mind of a murderer. Underneath Brynn's professional demeanor lies great warmth and compassion, and her inner sweetness begins to thaw Alex's hard-edged determination. Brynn is not immune to Alex's appeal, and soon the heat between them blazes to life, but is it enough to overcome the odds against them? Another great all-night page-turner from Kendra Elliot! I am looking forward to more works featuring fantastic females from this talented author.Review Copy Gratis Amazon Vine"
— Virginia (4 out of 5 stars)
" Just as good (maybe slightly better?) than Hidden - cannot wait for her next novel! "
— Rachel, 2/19/2014" More like 3.5 stars, but we don't have that capability(: This was an interesting thriller with good characters. I really liked the reveal of things along the way that explained character motivations and resolved the plot. The romance in this one was a bit too light for me during the majority of the story, but the wrap up was sweet. Due to the nature of their predicament in the frozen wilderness, it was impossible for the characters to have much privacy for emotional or physical bonding. A good read, though. "
— Kjen, 2/2/2014" Decent beach read: a serial killer, and a little romance (of the explicit variety). "
— Julie, 1/19/2014" I thought this book was very well written and thought out. throughout the whole time reading all I kept think was when was the heroin going to sleep with the hard shelled man she just met on a snow cover mountain. not to mention the boyfriend who comes looking and shows up when things started going for the two main characters. I loved the suspense of that part of the book. the action and suspense was ok but didn't hold a candle to the loves "
— Samantha, 12/6/2013" Romantic thriller. Very character driven. I really enjoyed reading this story. "
— Anne, 11/19/2013" Too much cussing for me. Had to quit the book. "
— Jessica, 11/10/2013" Another great one from Kendra Elliot! A great mix of drama, thriller, suspense and a little romance on top :-) "
— Nikki, 9/28/2013" I really enjoyed the first part if this book, but it seemed to lose focus about halfway through. I quit worrying, or caring, about the characters. Since I liked the premise of this book, and enjoyed the author's last book, I look forward to trying future books. This one was just a miss for me. "
— KK, 8/8/2013" Not so great, was expecting more after reading Hidden "
— Anupama, 7/24/2013" Eh, pretty good. Kept my attention. :) "
— Cindy, 2/27/2013" This book was awful in my opinion. It could have been very suspenseful but it was not. I gave it one star just because? "
— Barbara, 1/23/2013" Ends sort of abruptly, not a lot of closure. "
— Jennifer, 1/21/2013" I liked this author's novel "Hidden" so much that I needed to read her next novel. "
— Brenda, 12/22/2012" Excellent Romantic Suspense. I liked the setting, the characters, the premise, the dog :) "
— Toni, 11/15/2012" Boy was I looking for more action. Not as good as the first bone secrets novel. "
— Kelly, 10/24/2012" Great characters and plot! Every chapter added another layer to each character, even the ones that you may not have paid much attention to in the beginning. "
