A burnt-out Grim Reaper decides to break all the rules and save a life instead of collecting one, but her plan immediately collides with a grumpy Guardian Angel who's protective of his territory and deeply suspicious of her motives. What starts as an antagonistic standoff at his bar transforms into something electric as Gabriel realizes Darcy isn't the villain he assumed—and she's determined to prove that even death itself can choose differently. The chemistry between these two star-crossed immortals crackles with tension and dark humor as they navigate forbidden feelings, cosmic consequences, and the terrifying possibility that fate might actually be changeable. Perfect for readers who love their romance with a supernatural twist and a healthy dose of autumn atmosphere!
