Touch of Death

I’m the grim reaper. They call me Lady MacDeath.That’s right, this reaper’s a woman.

You’d think having power over life and death would be a real trip—and to be honest it’s not a bad run—but I have a problem.

As a girl my power isn’t exactly revered – I’m feared everywhere I go. No biggie, after going it alone for almost a thousand years, I find it best to stay away from distractions.

But as evil starts escaping from the Underworld, an emergency gathering is called by the rulers of all the dark realms, and they decree that every reaper needs a partner to enhance their power.

For most this comes in the form of an immortal consort. It’s about the power balance, a deathly duo you could say. Of course, the only outlier without a mate is me. The only one that’s come close is the devilishly handsome human who’s been on my mind since I spared his life… but one touch from me and he’s as good as dead.

I need to change my terminal condition of being single or I’ll be cast out of the Underworld for good. My desperate quest for a mate lands me three sexy-as-hell options which include a reaper, a demon, and a vampire… could they be my path to salvation?

A heart I forgot even existed wants to trust them. The only thing is, these aren’t regular bad boys; they’re darkness incarnate and they have the power to break me.

But I am Death after all, and if they screw me over, I will make sure their ending isn’t happy, either.
