Blurb:
An exclusive new series from New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant!
There's no escaping a Reaper. I'm an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I'm coming for you...
I'm a warrior. My unbreakable determination, my backbone of steel define me. As a Reaper who does Death's bidding, weakness is a word I don't understand. Until a stunning librarian stirs emotions deep within me I've never felt before. Her soft curves blunt the sharp edges of my soul, crushing my defenses - yet make me stronger. But underneath those wide eyes and fierce femininity, she has a weapon, one she won't hesitate to use. And when the Dark begin their deadly descent, we'll need each other's love and protection...or risk fracturing apart.

Exclusive Excerpt
“Why do
you think I’ve taken such precautions to stay hidden?” River asked. She stood,
the book in hand. “You laughed at my clothes before, but believe it or not,
they helped.”
She
watched as Fintan’s gaze slowly ran down her body from the sweater that gently
hugged her to the jeans that conformed becomingly against her legs. When he
looked back into her eyes, she saw desire in his gaze.
“It’s
not just the clothes,” Jordyn said. “It’s the hair, the glasses, and the
attitude. You were still pretty though few noticed. Dressed are you are now,
everyone would be looking.”
“Aye,”
Kyran said.
River’s
gaze slid to him. She wondered what he thought of her change in clothes. If he
desired her, he hid it well—unlike Fintan.
While
Fintan said and did whatever he wanted, not caring how it affected others,
Kyran was like a caged beast. Waiting for the time he could escape and decimate
everything around him.
Why then
was it Kyran she found herself attracted to? Why was it him she wanted to look
at her as if he could devour her with one kiss? Why was it him that she yearned
to have claim her?
She
looked for him when he wasn’t in the room. She sought him out when he was. How?
Why? She managed to stay away from guys after she graduated school in nearly
every capacity. Why was this happening now?
“Oh
crap,” Jordyn said. “I left my laptop in our chamber. I need to get it.”
River
didn’t move as both Jordyn and Baylon left. A moment later, Fintan turned on
his heel and walked away. Leaving her alone with Kyran.
He moved
around the table and came to stand in front of her. “You’ve suffered a great
deal.”
“My
family has suffered.”
“Aye.
Now everything is on your shoulders. It’s a heavy burden, but you carry it
well.”
River
turned her head to the side and crossed her arms over her chest. “I don’t want
it. Nor will I put this on another’s shoulders. It will end with me.”
“Aye,”
he whispered.
She
looked to find him within inches of her. His red gaze was hooded and focused on
her mouth. Her heart skipped a beat when his finger caressed her jaw with the
softest of touches.
“It will
end,” he vowed, his red eyes meeting hers. His head lowered slowly, almost as
if he wasn’t sure if he should.
River
lifted her face, both eager for the kiss and frightened of where it might lead.
Then she looked into his eyes. That’s when she saw it, there in his gaze.
“You
know who’s been killing my family.”
