Lucian bared his razor-sharp fangs, the piercing blue-green orbs of his eyes alight with the hunger of his kind. He had hoped to intimidate her, to keep her at a safe distance from his world. "I'm not scared of your fangs," Lily said, her voice unwavering. Lucian caught her lips in a searing kiss. His fangs grazed against her lips, but Lily didn't recoil. Instead, she welcomed the intensity of their connection, the feeling of being alive and desired. He broke the kiss all too suddenly. "What is it with you humans and your fascination with the forbidden?" The warmth in Lucian's blue-green eyes replaced with a chilling coldness. "Let's keep things professional from now on," he said in a frigid tone before turning on his heel and stalking away. *** If only Lily had known that being Lucian Stone's personal mortician entailed a front-row seat to a rollercoaster ride in his enigmatic supernatural life, she would have thought twice before accepting his offer. Her world was turned upside down when she discovered he was a powerful vampire and that she was a vital piece of his clan. Lily is all too aware of the risks of getting too close to Lucian, but she can't help the way she feels. Is defying his request worth the danger? Being his personal mortician already puts her life in peril, so what more could happen?

A cold and heartless grim reaper finds himself in a precarious situation after he was tasked to look after a human girl who suddenly dies. Ironically, his mission was supposed to keep her alive. To maintain the balance in the world of the living and the dead, he has to find a way to revive the girl. But this mission is unlike any other because he will have to find someone who can bring the dead back to life. Conveniently, the funeral director who was tasked to arrange Sarah\'s funeral has that rare ability. However, he didn\'t expect how hard it would be to manipulate the gifted human since she proves wildly stubborn as she tries to discover secrets that should remain locked away. Yet, as he, too, uncovers skeletons in her closet that prove to be darker and disconcerting, he unexpectedly finds her disturbingly more attractive.
