Chaos: The Cost of Desire (Book One)
Richard Lawrence had life by the tail. He had control, success, and most importantly, her. The universe was a logical, orderly place, and he was the architect of his own happiness.
Then the universe conspired to shake things up. Suddenly cursed with a cosmic fracture known as the Bleed, every time he woke up, Richard found himself jarred by a new reality. The rules changed. And the world rewrote itself with every reset.
The only constants were his companion Phoenix and his Kirsten Davenport - but even she was different every time. The woman he loved could wake up as a hitwoman with a silenced 9mm pressed to his heart, a street-level fixer burning his empire to the ground, or a suburban housewife offering him a false, perfect peace. She wore Kirsten's face. She carried Kirsten's scar. But she was never quite the woman he had pulled from a burning car on a rain-soaked interstate, the woman who had pressed her thumb to his ruined hand and promised she wasn't going anywhere.
The only anchor across every reality was a blue leather bookmark - the solitary thread connecting each fractured world to the last. It was the key to a mysterious ledger. And Richard believed, with the desperate certainty of a man who has nothing else left to believe, that finding it was the only way to stop the shifting and bring her back.
But the clock was always ticking. The enemies were always closing in. And in a universe where reality itself was the most dangerous variable, survival meant playing the cards he was dealt - until he was forced to close his eyes and draw new ones.
Some nightmares begin when you wake up.
