New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hartโs first book in her suspenseful Gravediggers series, featuring an elite group of mysterious men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with saving itโand no one can ever know.
The Gravediggers arenโt exactly what they seem. Theyโre the most elite of the worldโs fighting forcesโand all they have in common is that theyโve been betrayed by the countries theyโve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families.
Sometimes the dead do rise...
Deacon Tucker is a dead man walking. A former black ops agent, he was disavowed and stripped of all honor before being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor and good name no longer matter, because no one knows heโs alive, and heโll never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is simple: save the world or die trying. And for Godโs sake, donโt ever fall in love. Thatโs a rule punishable by death. The kind of death a man canโt be brought back from.
Tess Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She has no idea how Deacon Tucker ended up in her funeral home, but sheโll eat her hat if heโs only a funeral home assistant. Deacon is dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And she knows her attraction to him can only end in heartache.
Deacon is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack the world has ever knownโwhatโs known as The Day of Destinyโa terroristโs dream. But when he discovers Tess has skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important, he has to decide if he can trust her with his heart.
