As far as lazy roommates go, Death is probably as bad as they come. Rosa Delgada only wants a nice, ordinary weekend. When some guy claiming to be the Reaper comes knocking on her door, any plans of normality are thrown straight out of the window. Now she's got to worry about Death sleeping on her sofa, the forces of evil hunting down her new roommate, and - worst of all - all the post-break-up comfort food she keeps eating. And to make matters worse, Death is almost certainly going to go down in the record books as being the universe's least helpful roommate. He may be a horseman of the apocalypse but he'll be damned if he doesn't do the dishes. But life's going to get a whole lot harder for Rosa. Death's sudden holiday is resulting in some grizzly repercussions, and now all of the Underworld is out to drag him back. There's only so far sarcasm and strawberry ice cream will get you.

Ranked #22 in Isolation 07/25/2023 "I'm not mate material. You're better off without me." My heart clenched at his words and my wolf whined internally. "I, James, reject you, Grace, as my ma-" I lunged across the counter quickly placing my hand over his mouth. My other hand shot to the table to stabilize myself and I hissed loudly as I dumbly slammed it down on his knife. I could feel it biting into my palm slicing the flesh but I dared not move in fear that he would finish his sentence. "Please don't do that to me." I pleaded as my eyes began to well with unshed tears. He attempted to lean back out of my hold but I only moved with him crawling fully onto the counter hovering above him, one hand still firmly pressed to his mouth. I could feel pleasant tingles surging through my palm and I wondered briefly what it would feel like to be kissed by him. He moved back again and when I tried to move with him this time I successfully slipped off the counter losing my grip on his mouth. His arms reached out pulling me to his form rather than the ground and I clutched onto his top as sparks danced on my skin everywhere we made contact. I couldn't help my instincts as I breathed in his scent feeling my muscles relax and my head go light. "You're an idiot to be begging for someone you don't even know." He looked at my bloody palm that now gripped his grey shirt properly staining it. I released my hold on him trying not to cringe at the pain in my palm but I was never good at hiding my emotions. "Idiot." He stated again staring at me.

Draped in an oversized black leather jacket over a turtleneck, paired with black jeans and boots, Skyler White's appearance is unmistakable-short hair, sharp edges, and an aura of effortless cool. Being mistaken for a guy is nothing new to Skyler. With her cropped hair, androgynous figure, and distinct style, she's grown used to the assumptions. But now, in her final year of college she has only one focus: to write a movie that will launch her career as an acclaimed scriptwriter. When an opportunity arises to work for Fredward Montgomery-the powerful owner of one of the country's largest movie studios-she seizes it, even if it means her gender is mistakenly assumed. Fredward Montgomery is a man who has it all-looks, wealth, influence, and a thriving entertainment empire. As the second son of the illustrious Montgomery family, he's built a legacy that few can rival. Yet, behind the dazzling success lies a man who has shut himself off from the world, nursing a heart that refuses to heal. That is, until his scrawny new assistant unexpectedly finds a way past his walls. For Skyler, the plan is simple: prove herself, connect with the industry's best writers and directors, and finally get the chance to write her own script. Falling for her enigmatic boss-who still believes she's a man-was never part of the equation. But as they grow closer, Skyler discovers sides of Fredward the world has never seen, and Fredward begins to see Skyler for who she truly is. Bonds are formed, emotions unravel, and soon, the lines blur between ambition and an unexpected love story. Can the tomboyish girl in leather break through the billionaire's guarded heart? And when the truth comes to light, will love be enough to rewrite their story?
