Essence Hall is a brilliant, no-nonsense surgeon who believes in science, facts, and the cold certainty of life and death - but never in love. When she meets Angelo, a darkly charming man with a razor-sharp wit and a habit of showing up at the exact moment someone takes their last breath, she writes him off as an oddball. But Angelo isn't just strange - he's the Grim Reaper. And though he can't lie - an eternal curse tied to his existence - Essence refuses to believe him.
Intrigued by her unshakable skepticism, Angelo becomes determined to learn more about the messy, unpredictable nature of human life - and why a woman who holds so many hearts in her hands seems so unwilling to open her own. As sarcasm turns to sincerity and death's touch begins to feel a little more like a caress, Essence must face an impossible truth: sometimes love, like death, comes when you least expect it.
After the death of their mother, Ebony grows up with her father and later is sent off as a new reaper recruit. Their power is extraordinary considering they were a naturally born reaper, with 100% reaper blood and was never once human. They plan to use the skills they learn to find and kill the demon known as Claude Faustus. The one who killed their mother and the demon everyone hates with a burning passion.
On the way she has a realization, one that leads to a demon pursuing her...but what happens when a demon and a reaper fall in love?
