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:
What does a guy have to do around here to get some service?
Deacon Walker marveled as he glared at the undulating queue of grotesque
reapers in front of him.
For all that’s holy, move the hell along already.
It had been a long week, and it wasn’t over yet. He needed
to make at least one more pass through the hospital circuit before he could
call it a day. He could already feel the tug of a freshly departed soul. Again.
People were dropping like flies lately.
He massaged his brow, trying to soothe his exhausted
patience as the line inched forward at a snail’s pace.
He was worn thin. Over the past few weeks, three demon soul
poachers had popped up in his fair city of Meridian like poisonous mushrooms
after a hard rain.
While it wasn’t unheard of for one to slip out from Hell
every now and then, three was a nightmare.
When it got topside, a demon’s M.O. was to steal a human
body, poach a few souls from the dead and dying, and then make its merry way
back to Hell, taking its host’s soul along for the ride. The only way to save
the souls a poacher was carrying was to behead the host with a scythe. Not a
pretty thing to do, but the poor suckers were too far gone by then to survive
anyway. No human could withstand the pressures of being ridden by a demon. And
it was worth it to save a handful of souls, not to mention inconveniencing the
demon.
Deacon refused to lose any souls from his territory. At all.
So far the score was Deacon, 3. Demons, 0.
