Available now in paperback and on Kindle Unlimited

A reaper burdened with envy for humanity, diligently carries out her duties under the strict supervision of her boss, Death. As she goes about her grim task, a peculiar incident occurs one night at a children's hospital: Jimi, a nurse is able to see her, something deemed impossible. Intrigued and captivated, she stalks him to uncover the source of this extraordinary ability.

To her astonishment, the reaper discovers that not only can the nurse see her, but he can also talk with her and, against all logic, touch her. Faced with this inexplicable connection, they grapple with the realization that breaking the rules and taking substantial risks is the only way they can be together. As they navigate the dangerous terrain of defying the natural order, the looming question remains: are the potential dire consequences of their actions worth the pursuit of love?
