What happens when the Grim Reaper falls in love with the one soul he wasn't meant to take?
Calla Moreau was born in a funeral home. Death has always been her family's business-and her shadow. But when a mysterious man begins appearing at the closed-casket funerals her family hosts, everything she thought she knew about the dead begins to unravel.
Ash Bellamy is tall, quiet, unsettling-and utterly wrong. He claims to be a guest, but no one invited him. No records show he ever existed. And when he touches Calla, she sees the moment she nearly died... the one no one ever told her about.
He isn't just a mourner.
He's Death in human form-and he's looking for answers. About the dead who shouldn't be gone. About the veil that's tearing between this world and the next. And about Calla... the girl who slipped through his fingers once before.
As Calla and Ash grow closer, forbidden feelings ignite. But every second she spends with him brings her closer to the truth-
🕯️ She was never meant to live.
🕯️ Someone made a deal to bring her back.
🕯️ And now, Death wants balance... or blood.
