When the Grim Reaper develops feelings for the childrenβs librarian whose soul he is supposed to collect, he finds that with feelings comes something far worse than deathβlife.
Helena Hart isnβt having the best night. Her date just ditched her, her Halloween costume bombed, and her only sympathetic ear is a dead silent partygoer in a Grim Reaper getβup. But when she falls off a balcony and he catches her with a veryΒ realΒ skeletal hand, she realizes he may not be a party guest at all. Before she can process the nearβdeath experience, he vanishes, leaving her to wonder if she hallucinated the whole thing.
Grim isnβt supposed to save souls. Heβs supposed toΒ reapΒ them. And while heβs not sure why he spared Helena, he does know that if his superiors find out, heβs as good as dustβwhich is saying something for a guy whoβs mostly bones. But keeping away from Helena is proving harder than expectedβespecially when she isnβt the least bit afraid of his monstrous form.
Worse, to his horror, Helena makes himΒ feel. And for a reaper, feeling is a fate far more dangerous than death.
