Diagnosed with a terminal illness two years ago when she was nineteen, Lucy Russell had long-since realized that her time in life was dwindling.
Imagine her surprise when two ridiculously handsome strangers showed up in her hospital room, claiming to have a miracle "cure." The only catch? She would have to work for them, whatever that entailed.

She would never have guessed that they would want her to join them, and she would never have anticipated that, if she joined their ranks, she would have a newfound purpose in life: to save humanity.
And Lucy certainly would never have expected to actually discover some semblance of a love life.
But first?
They had to bury her.
