Epilogue

Hayden

A year later …

Closing out a television contract for six episodes of Haunted Hayden that brings a sizable donation to several charities, I celebrate with a moonlit party outside a historic ruin in French wine country. No other humans allowed. When the guests are all ghosts, it makes hosting super easy.

Glenda dances atop a stone column in time to music provided by a ghostly band who joined us somewhere outside Madrid.

Maximus prances at my feet, transforming from solid pup to three-headed skeleton when we pass through shadows and slices of silvery moonlight. The dog's arrival makes my heart soar, not only because of his cute company, but because his presence announces that Wren waits nearby in the darkness.

It's time to slip away to his soothing world of shadows. Meeting other shadow beings and exploring an entire realm has been a great adventure, but we always come back to our room where night is eternal and my Ravished by the Reaper drawing hangs framed by the doorway.

Tonight, I've already said my thanks to all the dead who helped me with historic details for the show. The same ghosts gave me the history of the now un-haunted house since Glenda swears Wren's presence there cleared the house of hauntings for at least another decade.

Apparently ghosts don't adore my Render like I do.

But ridding the house of the revenants and having its full history clinched a deal with demon prince Theo for a lifetime supply of healing potions from his alchemist to treat my migraines. It also secured Wren's demand that we never have to see him again.

I step into the shadows and find myself wrapped in Wren's darkness.

"Ready to go, love?" he asks.

"With my reaper? Always."

Thank you for reading Ravished by the Reaper. Find out more about Theo and his matchmaking adventures in the Matchmaker Monster Romance series.

Each book promises a happily ever after for each of the four friends who walk into a (not so) haunted house, not knowing that monsters are real. Or that they've been matched to the monsters inside.
