The number one rule in life: never make a deal with Death…even if Death is your sister. Theodra, Goddess of War, knows not to break this rule. But like all arrogant gods, she does just that. Unable to hold back, she destroys a ship full of traffickers, unaware there are girls on board. When one of them dies, Theo trades with Death for a soul she will someday love. A soul for a soul. A good deal, in her esteemed opinion, since she is incapable of falling in love.

If the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 cast a pall over the city, the success of the Dallas Cowboys and the popularity of the television series Dallas revived the image of a glitzy, hustling metropolis at the center of the Sunbelt.

Imagine entering a country you never opted to visit - and all that during a war! This is how I experienced my sudden arrival in the hospital with a leukemia diagnosis. A noble hero? At times, I felt more like the battleground itself! It was others who fought: the medics, those who visited, prayed, and so on. Personally, in such circumstances, I doubt a patient's aggressively positive attitude makes much difference to the outcome - that may encourage some! I have survived six years down the line - but come with me when there was no certainty, just a journey.

So many reasons I shouldn’t...shall I count them? He’s my client - which should be reason enough to steer clear of Splitter, both because of ethics but also the fact that he’s in legal trouble. So that’s two things right there. Three, he’s the VP of the Savage Saints, a local motorcycle club. And those are just the strikes against him. The fact that I just ended a relationship - and made a big splash in the local news with the divorce - means that I should stay far, far away from relationships. But those eyes, that voice, the way he makes me feel....

The aftermath of my parent's death was the toughest time in my life, but at least I had him. He was there every step of the way, wiped the tears I shed, and made me smile when I'd forgotten how to.

After all, my heart was never my own to protect—it belonged to Ares Hart the entire time.

Meet Ellie. She's perfectly happy living a quiet life with her husband, Clive. (Well, she does sometimes wonder about the way he talks to her and about all the things she hasn't achieved yet.

Content being on his own, far away from other people and - crucially - far away from any risk of surprises.
