BLURB:
Ruth Scott can read the energy of
every person she meets. Then she meets Deacon Walker. She can see his ice-blue
eyes, his black hair, and his gorgeous face. But this beautiful stranger has no
aura.
Deacon is just as unsettled by
Ruth—and, having spent more than two hundred years ushering souls to Purgatory,
Deacon is seldom shocked by anything. As he helps Ruth to understand her true
nature, she awakens desires that he decided long ago a Reaper can’t afford.
A demon invasion forces Deacon to
confront the darkness in his own past even as he fights to save the human souls
he’s charged to protect. When he’s taken captive, his first concern is for
Ruth. But Ruth just might be able to save herself—and the Reaper she can’t live
without—if she can learn to wield her newfound powers.

EXCERPT
“I
want answers. In the hospital, I sensed something about you when we met… Your
mother was Mary Scott. Correct? She died in that hospital room while you were
there?”
“I
didn’t do that. It wasn’t my fault,” she blurted out.
“Okaaay,”
he proceeded cautiously. “Did you touch her before you left?”
She
considered him, her mouth going dry. She had touched her. She’d given her that
final kiss on the forehead.
“Yes,”
she whispered.
Ruth
couldn’t look at him as she began to realize what all of this might mean. Had
her bizarre handicap really killed her father, and now her mother, too?
She
was a killer.
“You’re
not a killer,” he said, rolling his eyes.
“I
thought you couldn’t read minds!” She sobbed, tears choking her throat closed.
It’s
my fault. I AM a killer.
“You’re
not,” he insisted. “I think you’re a reaper, like me.”
Her
heart starting beating faster and her vision started to go blurry around the
edges. The whole room sped down a black chute into darkness. She was going to
pass out. She was going to pass out with a strange supernatural man in her
house.
God
help me.
