When Death pays a visit to Ramona’s shop, it seems only polite to invite him in. Particularly when he has intense green eyes and can kiss like that…

A Grim Reaper knows how and when every living thing will die. But Silas can’t see Ramona’s death. It’s one of many reasons the Chaos witch intrigues him. But when a dire threat to a single soul calls him away, it reveals something is out to destroy the order of life and death in the world. The only one who might be able to help him untangle the snarl of Fates’ loom might be the woman whose power—the very make of her soul—is the antithesis of order.

If they survive the evil that wants to destroy everything that matters to them both, Ramona wonders if she’s finally found the male who won’t run from who and what she is. Suddenly the term “Death is the only certainty in life,” isn’t a threat—it’s a promise.

I'd rather fight than run. I'd rather fight than submit…

Because Ruth was born weaker than most vampires, she has to find a place on the fringes of the vampire world where she can call the shots on her own life. Doing bodyguard work at the mysterious Circus fits the bill, but it's there her biggest secret is revealed. Unlike most vampires, she's not a Dominant.

She wants a Master she can fight, until he makes her submit. He must prove he's stronger on every level that matters, and win her trust, loyalty and love. Merc, part incubus, part angel, catches her attention, but his dangerous reputation makes him a bad risk.

Working alongside him to protect a fortune teller who has seen things that can endanger the vampire world, she gets a different view. Plus, out of all his mesmerizing qualities, there's one she finds irresistible.

He relishes a good fight.
