Another fabulous character art reveal. I absolutel Another fabulous character art reveal. I absolutely love this one and I am not alone in that feeling. Thank you to @greydaysghost for bringing this scene to life with your brilliant talent. 

An abridged version of the scene...

“What happened out there?” 

I snapped my head up. Winter stood in front of me […] accusations shooting from his glare. 

I didn’t have the patience for Winter or his clear fascination with Raven. 

[…]

“Well?” A muscle in Winter’s jaw twitched. “How did Raven get hurt?”

I shoved past him and strode toward the bar. “Leave me alone. I don’t owe you an explanation.”

He grabbed the back of my cloak and yanked me around, bringing me face-to-face with his ugly mug. “Don’t walk away from me when I’m talking to you.”

A growl slipped between my teeth. “Don’t touch me.” 

𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥. 

I reached for my compacted scythe…

Raven grew up following the rules…until she didn’t. Chace kept his truth hidden in silence…until he couldn’t. 

Grumpy meets grumpier in this slow-burn, gothic romantasy following two rival reapers. Forced to work together in a cursed citadel occupied by a century’s worth of overdue souls, events quickly go sideways for our reapers. With complications rising and expanding, will their rivalry cloud emotions, hinder task success, and pave the road for something far more concerning than mortal danger? Because the overwhelming number of unreaped souls is turning out to be the least of their worries.

His mouth closed over my finger, and a gasp of surprise leapt from my lips. 

With a swirl of his tongue against my skin, he located the tip of the splinter and, damn my traitorous body, my core heated and my legs clenched. His nostrils flared, and his gaze narrowed, then he sucked, hard. The discomfort of the splinter vanished, and then I felt too many other things. Things I shouldn’t feel while peering into Chace’s eyes. 

Yeah... these two.
They'll bring you one seriously slow burn filled with yearning and tension. Have you secured your copy?

Banter? Um, yes. What about creative curses? Defi Banter? Um, yes. 
What about creative curses? Definitely. 

I personally don't exactly have the cleanest vocabulary, which usually translates to my characters. Although, they try not to drop the F-bomb as often as I might. At least,  not in the beginning, when they're still relatively behaved. 

What do you say to grumpy, possibly snarky reapers?

Join Raven and Chace on their mission into the citadel to collect on a century's worth of overdue souls.
